Edit: HI ! ^^

Im basiclly just re-writing this thread. keep it updated.

Anyway! as obviously put in title;

Free coaching for Bronze/Silver players, i CAN help with gold, not too much of an extent.

Basiclly. it's a mutliple hour session, where concentration is put into a single match up, or if time, MAYBE two match ups. (all time driven).
Details will variy so i won't discuss untill in a lession with a specific person.

For intrest in a session or two, or more. just contact me via PM or if not possible post on my account page. Also if you contact me, would help if put NA and SEA In game name and character code with skype name, to make it easier to contact about lessions on the run

I would find it EXTRMELY helpful if you can contact me about it, as i don't always check the thread. and also skype with a mic to make lessson so much easier and much smoother.

If i remember anything to add to this, i'll just it randomly !

Also, ANYONE who i have spoken with lessions for previously, and lessions/sessions never happened, i apologize, no excuses for it, sorry again ^^

GG guys ^^

How come your playing in the BSGCL if your Protoss is 'Mid Diamond?'

Because he thinks is Protoss play is that good but he hasn't laddered enough to prove it. Because he is actually in gold on sea he is allowed to play in bsg's

"Thinks"??? Im consistantly beating players on NA of around that rank. Thats a diffrence between thinking im around a particular rank and actaully knowing.

Oh and to Minimat; i will be laddering my SEA account tonight. so i'll probably be promoted to atleast platinum, so that will reflect my skill a bit more then it does currently.

Not griefing but this was also my first thought when reading the post lol.

[Zanderax]

I'd ask for some... but I'm Zerg.

Thanks for giving something back to the community though

[Synizta]

Im not here to disucss my supposed skill level, im here to offer my game knowledge and coaching to low league players, regardless of my skill, i feel that i can teach bronze & Silver, and too some extent some gold, something about protoss play, that can help them improve

[ToRDjvillian]

My previous post did come off negative. Regardless I reccomend for silver and bronze players to take up this offer.
when syn and I have done 2v2's in the past at a diamond level he has carried me through games.

Personally i think there's nothing much you can teach Bronze and Silver players except build orders and standard gameplay. Bronze and Silver players are stuck in those leagues because their mechanics (macro micro scouting reaction) are not very good. These things actually cant be coach and are not necessary to be coached. Although its a good initiative, i hope you will coach the corrects build order ( non-4 gate lolz).

Sure theres build orders to be taught.
But theres also basic game concepts like unit counters, combinations, timings, strengths & weaknesses and the ability to look with a more experienced eye and say "this here is your weakest link and this should be your focus."

+1 to Syn for offering his time for the betterment of others, I wasn't nit-picking earlier was just saying beware what you say hehe.

To that end also, macro / micro and scouting ARE things that can be coached, coz to be honest lower league players don't see the issue as a higher league player would. How often when you were bronze did you queue units and go "ive been spending well!"?

^^^ this pretty much. all good. ^.^
The main thing im plannning to coach is the macro, what to look for with the scouting infomation you have. good, safe, builds that are easy to learn, and what to do if someone counters those openers, etc, etc, etc.

[crAzerk]

These kind of threads have come up numerous times on this site, and many times have been shot down for the same reasons - are you sure you're good enough to coach? (There are countless arguments that have been put forward already)

I'm not on either side of this argument (I choose to stay out of it), just be prepared for this sort of assault, don't be discouraged, and keep your passion for helping others, because that is probably what led you to create this in the first place GL with this!

Thank you sir. ^.^ I feel i am good enough to do Bronze/Silver level coaching, as i have been doing some privately previously and have gotten possitive feedback from those particular people. ^.^

[Lykkos]

I would be interested in attempting to set up a time to try out this coaching offer. I personally struggle with the things ProAnnn mentioned like reacting to what I scout and managing macro past gates. I've been watching Day[9] and have been getting some builds from the MLG Replay packs that just came out. Please feel free to shoot me a message on bnet when you see me and we can see if we can schedule something out. Thank you.

No problems. ^.^ just need you to PM me yourself battlenet id & char code as well as skype name. that way coaching goes by alot easier for both.

[ZC.EvilSWAT]

Well I'm new in here (and relatively new in SC2 having only played 140+ games on it) and I'm not one to pass on any sort of coaching, so hit me up at EvilSWAT.711. Thanks to the forums rules here I'm not able to PM you anything yet so leave me a message? Peace!

[Cordance]

So a guy offers free help to those who need it. People are shooting him down because he might not be good enough to use his free time to help others ...

Coaching and playing a two different things. A good player has good knowledge but Coaching is about turning that knowledge into information another can turn back into knowledge. A starcraft coach is not like a football coach. They arnt changing game plans mid game. A starcraft coach is a different set of eyes and ideas to help you find what you are good at and where you are weak.

I have no idea how good he actually is but the fact he is offering free help to those lower than him should not be bashed on an unknown skill level of coaching.

I disagree with you here man. I rekon being given a build order is one thing, but actually being taught why the food timing on a building (i.e. 15 nexus) is important / changes gameplay makes a huge difference for these newer players. You dont get that by just reading a build order list on TL.

Also, I rekon I will be stuck in masters until my micro/macro, and even to some degree scouting reaction improves. Imagine the bounds of improvement bronze/silver players would make if they even contemplated reacting to what they see (Im just guessing they dont..). Also, little tips in relation to micro and macro helped me right up until diamond - i.e. injecting all hatches at the same time, so that when you see one pop, you know they all need to be re-injected.

Exactly. I mean seriously, these guys are so fresh to the game that ANY help is good help. I wish I had it when I started.

(Notably however, I think the guys asking about his skill level actually had the context of why OP was playing in BSG when he said he was Diamond. Was just an off-topic question i think, nothing to do with coaching)

Lol, im guessing youre in Australia and with Optus? I think one of the TA guys said their server runs through the US or some shit, so latency is better there.
Or i remember incorrectly and am just talking shit :P
