if you yourself aren't that good of a player I wouldn't suggest "teaching" him, per se.

if he develops bad habits it'll be hard to overcome later

I seem to be one of the few who laughed my ass off when I read he started winning after switching to protoss.

Anywayyyyyyyyy, just try to get him to learn more builds I guess. He's only 10 though so I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have much luck.

No, you're doing a good job as an older brother. He probably really looks up to you too.
My brother got me into Starcraft and I tried to imitate him as Terran. Soon I became a bit more independent and tried Protoss and Zerg, and found my favorite was Zerg. If he keeps with Starcraft he'll find his own place and will learn strategy himself, teaching him to rush DTs will just keep him interested in the game since he'll know it's actually winnable. Soon he will realize the game is very deep and hopefully still love it :D

This might have been said, but:

it's good that he's actually learning builds. Make sure he knows WHY he made that pylon at the certain supply, why he made the citadel this early or why he needs to pump probes. Understanding what he's doing will put him at the mid D- levels if he can have less than 5000 minerals and 3000 gas at the end of a 10 minute game. (I meant, if he can actually have macro.)

Anyways, at his age, he probably doesn't care about whats good or what. He cares about that wonderful feeling you get from the first 20 or so games you win on iccup. As long as he can win once or twice a day, he'll get better and probably won't quit.

I thought you beat your sibling or conned them of their monthly allowance, or something, just looking at the title from the sidebar.

Nah, you're awesome. You don't even roflstomp all over him with your experience (unless you didn't say so ) and you are teaching him.

Definitely not a bad brother.

though i seriously hate DTs <3

LOL funny thing is he could probably get to C- just DT rushing in different ways

Not the mousepad thing though. That's not funny.

If you teach him to proxy his archives, I bet he could get to C if he plays only TvPs.

this almost sounds like a potential experiment "see how far he (a relatively new player) can get with just one build, esp a toss one"

if he's just gaining exp, he probably shouldn't be playing iccup (or 1v1) yet
4v4 is a battle of who has the better computer.
