He expects to be in the Top 32 in one year?!

a) he needs to start to do well in Pro Tour events. Currently 125 with £1400!
b) he needs to start actually qualifying for TV Tournaments
c) he needs to win a TV Tourny as the order of Merit is over a two year period if am not mistaken?

Think its a big ask
