30 Days to Diamond


Book Description

Before I tell you what "30 Days to Diamond" is about, let me tell you what it isn''t. This book is NOT the next 3-dollar booklet promising you all the "tips and tricks" nobody else knows. Any book that makes such a claim is ridiculous, misleading and a waste of time. ''''30 Days to Diamond" is 147 pages worth of specialized teaching, produced by a Master Tier player on both EUW and EUNE servers. It teaches all technical, strategic and psychological aspects of the game from A to Z in a very unique and effective manner. If there''s anything I''ve learned after mentoring over 60 silver and bronze players it''s that anyone, and I mean ANYONE has the potential to become a Diamond level player within a very short time, even if still new to League. In spite of all the information available online, the majority of League''s community still struggle to achieve their goals in Ranked. Nowadays, there are so many Twitch streams, YouTube channels and websites dedicated to teaching the game and yet the results are just not there for the majority. Improving from Silver to Gold is nice, but this is so much less than what progress should look like for most. Being a teacher in real life, the question I got absorbed in was: What prevents people from mastering the game to the level they want, despite them having access to all the information they need? We are talking about hundreds of thousands of players that play ranked. That''s a lot of people. Why is it that so many folks may spend weeks and even months watching Challenger streams, play League for 5+ hours a day and still not improve at the rate they could? This inefficiency is not due to the people playing the game or the information they learn from. It all has to do with how effective learning takes place. A person''s ability to learn from a piece of information is enhanced only to the degree to which they can relate to it at that specific moment. This is the factor that dictates how fast one improves over a period of time. Here is an analogy. If I were to pick two different gold 3 players for example, one may assume that they are at a similar spot on the tree of game knowledge. They are both gold 3, so they must be... right? No, their spot on that tree is unique, as is the combination of things they know and don''t know, it''s just that the net result happens to be the same. Depending on which leafs and branches of the tree they have, if they were both to be traditionally taught the same thing in the same exact way, the result wouldn''t be optimal for both. The key to overcoming those limitations is through teaching the game in the most relatable way, by utilizing the functions of the left and right brain hemispheres SIMULTANEOUSLY through associations and other learning techniques. What most people don''t realize is that their progress is not only limited by what they don''t know, but also the unconscious habits and pathways they''ve created and CONTINUE to create each time they play. Improving at the fastest rate is achieved by also following a daily practice routine that revolves around repeated behaviors that create the right habits, while unlearning the wrong ones. Basically, you transform as a player and it takes about a month. So here is my attempt to change things for the better and have a positive impact on the community. I wrote this book specifically for new and old players that struggle to reach Diamond. It''s updated and relevant to the current Season 6. Everyone that learns from it should be able to reach Diamond within 30 days of practicing no matter what their starting point is. I stand behind my statement that ANY "low elo" player has the potential to get to Diamond in a short time when taught correctly. As far as the time commitment required, playing 2-4 games a day and dedicating about an hour for the method described in Chapter 9 is plenty. The method is designed specifically for people with a job/school/other real life activities who cannot dedicate 10 hours a day to League.




21 Days to Diamond and Beyond


Book Description

As a Master Tier player on both EUW and EUNE servers that cares deeply about the state of League of Legends, I had enough of the lack of high quality educational material about the game. So about a year ago, I sat down and wrote what turned out to be the best selling ebook about improving at League of Legends on Amazon - 30 Days to Diamond. I used my experience as a real life teacher and a high elo player to create the most detailed, effective and complete source of game knowledge out there. The impact 30 Days to Diamond had on hundreds of players was enormous and I have summarized the results they achieved in the preface of this book. The book made a bold promise - that no matter what level of skill you are currently at, as long as you apply the principles it teaches, you will be able to reach Diamond 5 rank within 30 days of playing on a fresh account. Mind you, that's regardless of whether you started as a Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or a completely new player that has just installed the game. The reason why the book delivered on its promise for so many people was simple. I was aware that no matter what your starting point is, as long as you fill in the knowledge gaps that you have about the game and you apply the proven principles that my book teaches, you WILL completely transform as a player over a short period of time. There are no ifs, buts or shoulds - facts are facts and results are results. Well, due to multiple requests from dozens of people online, I was motivated to roll up my sleeves again for Season 7. So I wrote the book you are about to read next - 21 Days to Diamond and Beyond. It is a longer and more detailed, improved, enriched and polished version of 30 Days to Diamond and it has been created specifically for Season 7. Please don't get intimidated by the length of it - I assure you that every page is worth your time. And I am now going to make an even bolder promise - if you take the time to learn all the principles and techniques I teach you in 21 Days to Diamond and Beyond, you will be able to reach a minimum of Diamond 5 rank within 21 days of playing on an unranked account, regardless of what your starting position happens to be right now. You could be Bronze, Silver, Gold or completely new to League of Legends. If your goal is to improve as much as you can at League in a short period of time - because you are a very competitive person, you like winning or you just want to have more fun playing the game - then this book will be your best friend. I am confident that you will be able to appreciate the value that it offers and I would like to encourage you to diligently apply what it teaches, as I go into extreme details on what you should do in pretty much any situation you can encounter in-game. Just look inside the Table of Contents to gain a perspective of the amount of game knowledge I've put together. As a result of being open-minded and applying what the book teaches, I assure you that you will get to enjoy the results that you are looking for. Are you excited already? Best of luck on the Summoner's Rift!

Beautiful Mess


Book Description

Can a band comprised of six very talented but very different musicians make a difference with their music? What made it possible for Diamond Rio to weather the storms inherent in the fickle world of fame and fortune and go more than two decades without a single lineup change? Any reader in search of transparency and a behind-the-scenes look into the life of the band as a unit as well as the individual lives of the players and singers will be well satisfied. Can true loyalty exist within the competitive, seemingly unforgiving music industry? In Beautiful Mess Marty Roe, Dan Truman, Jimmy Olander, Brian Prout, Gene Johnson, and Dana Williams each has an entire chapter devoted to his personal and professional life.

Fish Over Diamond


Book Description

In this raw and honest tale, Nam Bui enlightens the world about the pain and obstacles he and many others had to face in order to leave his beloved country. In the wake of a senseless and horrendous war, the Communist government of Vietnam controlled the country with hunger and fear. The downtrodden people wanted something better, something more for their lives. In his desperation for a better life and freedom, he and other brave people left their fate at the mercy of the vast and mercurial Pacific Ocean. With no specific destination in mind, these people would have rather risked their lives then live a life under tyranny. This true story mainly takes place on a tiny fishing boat cramped with forty-four people. These people decided to embark on this dangerous journey despite everyone not knowing each other, having a specific plan or supplies because they all had one goal in mind: freedom. Having little water and no food for days brings their mortality to light every second they stay on this boat floating aimlessly along at sea. When lost at sea and starving, survival becomes priority number one and everything else seems to lack meaning. With death biting at his heels, friends become foes, and an otherwise insignificant fish becomes more valuable than a diamond.
