I pride myself on my involvement in the SEA community as I am an Australian SC2 player and PRACBUD regular so I'm rather embarrassed that I have not posted here yet!
Time to wrong the right and get more involved in the SC2SEA community. I will have a look around and make some posts if I have something useful to say. If you guys have any suggestions of how I should get involved on these forums I'd love to hear them!
A bit more about myself, feel free to skip if you are of the tl;dr variety
I started out in the bottom of Bronze and through many whoopings developed a passion for the self-improvement inherent in SC2. I knew that I absolutely had to give something to the community and I knew that the game wasn't very beginner friendly.
From this I formed an idea: I would start writing about my learning experiences with SC2 as clearly as possible in an effort to help other new players struggling. I had an advantage over professional and higher ranked players as I was intimately familiar with the problems that beginners face. After all, I was slogging my way through them too!
Awesomely a bunch of people really liked what I was writing and I kept going. I am now in Diamond but my journey is far from over. There is still so much more to learn and I love it!
Eventually I want LearningSC2.com to be a place where new players can go for any of their struggles and read advice from people who know exactly what it is like to be hopelessly hopeless.
I also plan on moving into formal coaching when I am at a level where I am satisfied in my abilities and my ability to help another player. I especially want to focus on players with ladder anxiety and stress issues to help them overcome them. Ladder anxiety is the plague of SC2.
For the tl;dr guys:
I help people with SC2 because I know what it's like to be hopeless and I love to learn and teach.
Thanks for reading!
Edit: A big thanks to Maynarde for helping me get started ^^
