For those of you who want to improve your BW skills, I am using this blog to offer my help.
My goal for any willing players:
If you're D, I want to help you obtain at least C-.
If you're D+/C-, I want to help you obtain at least C.
If you're C/C+, you can probably kick my ass once in a while, but I'll try to help hurdle over the gap to B-.
My reason for doing this: I realize I have played truckloads of games to reach the level of experience now, but I want to challenge myself to pass on the knowledge I have gained.
My conditions are simple: Dedicate at least 3 nights a week, at least an hour a night. The reason for my lax time schedule is because I know most players won't have the dedication to trudge through hours and days of gaming, and the ones who do usually burn out quickly. We'll continue for as long as either person is willing.
I'm using this blog to reach out to those who want to improve their skill in this game. You have the freedom to use my help, but I cannot be dedicated for you. Think of it as a pseudo-college course. Also, since I am a protoss player, I may not be as able to help non-protoss players out as effectively, but I'll try for you as well if you want to improve. Post here or PM me and we'll discuss details such as what to expect beginning of the season and adult swim hours. Good luck and have fun.

I am a C-/Very Low C zerg player. Even though you aren't a zerg, I'm sure you can help my ZvP from a protoss perspective :D..
|
Sure, I'll try to do that, although I don't really pride myself in my pvz. Just leave a pm with details for reaching you at good times.
|
I'm a C-/C Terran. Please train me be solid C!
|
Great Idea. Im offering my coaching services for anyone that wanna improve. Decent in theory with all good playing with PZ (mostly playing pvz zvp pvt ). My rank is B
|
Nice man. I can vouch that zil is a good player and tons of fun to be around :D
|
Im D Toss player.
I cant play right now but ill drop a pm later.
I would love to get enlightened.
EDIT:
Ive been playing for 14 months now. My goal was to reach C before Bootcamp :S i got a lot of work to do.
|
I'm game, C-/C High Terran player.
I'm taking a online course this summer for college, but that shouldn't get in the way of some training 
Throw me a PM, Skela feel free to PM me also, the more help the better.

That's fine too, preferrably if you're T or Z so you can help the non-protoss.
|
Sign me up, C Zerg player ;]!
|
D Terran now... I'm on the East Coast, you ok with that?
|
Ah, to be honest, I thought I'd only get like 1 player who wanted help. Please leave me a pm with good times for you and we'll try to work it out, since my schedule is a bit unpredictable right now.
|
Anyone who wanna get some help from me leave me PM

What's your race? It'll help if you can take the zerg players.
|
GAAA why couldn't this have happened a year ago when I didn't have important finals, summer school and summer job.
Sign me up, D+ Terran (tho I like offracing as Zerg) who can never get online 
Thanks for imparting your SC skillz before they become obsolete and defunct

I need to see your credentials please Zil. Also, are you going to be angry when you coach me?

First step, stop being so angry.

|
|
Zil is so rage filed!
Yo zil let's do this~
I'm D.
|
Hey actually, I can get in here too I decided to come back to BW and reach my goal of A- that I gave up long ago. I left off as a B rank Terran, so I'll be like a C- Terran right now. But practice buddies + my experience as a slightly higher level player could be nice to kind of coach with as I improve again.
Does that sound good?

I'm a C zerg and I'd appreciate it if you could help me improve my zvp, I'll drop you a pm and we can set up some kind of practice schedule. I'd actually be willing to put in more than three hours a night. Anyways, thanks for doing this for us.

Hi,
I am D-/D toss i need to improve mechanics and i need to be overall faster also i have problems playing on ladder i just freeze and i can barely move my arms properly so i don't have enoguh games to say what is my exact iccup ranking
http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/gamingprofile/Axonn.html
as you may see I have played so few games.. I was... a quitter much so far. I want to change that.
PM me so we can adjust time zone difference and when to play.
Thank you
|
I'm a low level protoss player. Can't get iccup to work so idk my exact rank.
I'd be willing to game way more then 3 hours a week
|
D D+ terran and would be way so down for this.
: )
|
I'd love to see a rep pack of sorts of the pvt games you have lost on iccup this season. Anytime you can see what can work against good players is a beneficial thing.
|
cool this is a nice thing

I can't believe the negativity from the... hrm... rolemodels in this thread.
I think this is great, and I love that some people still try to keep BW alive! Keep it up!
|

Me too! C zerg pg)heaven_n =D

Darnit, if only I could skip that, lol. Will you accept that? :p
Oh, D Zerg, aeghrur on iccup.
|
Nice Project. I am D/D+ Terran and try to improve my skills now. Please count me in.

Good Luck & Fighting!

I played a lot of fastest(unfortunately), but I could have easily gotten to C, and with a bit of work gotten to B- because I knew absolutely everything but the basic strategy for low. However, now that I switched over to SC2 I don't remember ANYTHING about how to play so I'm really bad at BW, but I would like to get good again to get my apm up for when SC2 is released. I used to have 250 apm in fastest, but within a week of playing SC2, my average went from 250 to 90. I still have about 180 apm in BW, but 90 in SC2.
I would like to do this, and I do appreciate you offering this.
EDIT: I actually just need some basic outline for strategies. I already understand everything there is, and have played A LOT of BW. I just need to play about 20 games and get back into my groove, memorizing production times and such.
|
I actually didn't expect this many people to want help. I already have about 15 people who I already set up something with, so it's becoming more difficult to squeeze into this already unpredictable (random workdays) schedule of mine.
For now, I'm not sure how many more I can take, but if there are any C+ and above players who can help the lower level players, please post to help. Thanks and good luck to everyone.
|
Oh you're Mallow[x], I think I might have played you once last season or the one before.
|
|
|
man . thanks so much for doing this!
if you still have time after all these other responses, im a c- terran and could use the help of a higher level player
you rock!
|
I'm a C Terran and I want to improve my TvP badly..

rofl poor zil getting crushed under the avalanche of requests
|
Awesome! I'm a C-/C protoss but I don't really care about reaching a particular rank anymore. What I really want to do is understand one matchup from both sides. For example, I'd like to be able to pvz and zvp at least decently. If you're willing to help me do this, PM me.
|
waaa..I wanna join but I can't because school will start soon so I have to prepare and all...
wow this turned into a mini clan/practice partner thread...
I dunno but I guess if people would want games you can add me up on iCCup: cifer
I don't have much of a stable gaming sched..
|
I already have a friend who helps me with a lot of things. since you have alot of requests, maybe i can be a practice partner like SkyLark
my ID is ._
|
I've never played SC:BW before (I'm an SC2 kiddie,) but I got to 1650 platinum before the diamond league patch came out and I'd be willing to learn whatever race you'd be willing to teach.
100% not a joke.
Of course if you don't want to teach from the ground I can always just go back to League of Legends when the beta ends.
|
|
|
I just wanted to say you're awesome for doing this, I have no interest as I don't even play BW, but what you're doing is very awesome. =)
|
I'm still around to check the thread. I helped two people yesterday night, and since the session went better than I expected, I'll continue to take people as long as I can do it.
If you still didn't get someone to help you, pm me. If it comes down to it, I'll try to help in groups so everyone can get something.
|
So what's up Zil, want to train a complete noob to sc:bw? ^^
|
Well, teaching straight from the get-go is kind of difficult. Have you even played singler player campaigns yet?
|
this sounds like it could be cool, 2 seasons ago i was c- but was busy and havnt played much untill more recently
|
Yes I have played single player, of course.
I did it for the story. ;o
|
As I said if ilovezil got way too many you can pm me .
|
Hey I'd be interested in getting trained by you, ilovezil, or any one else that can help me out.
Play Protoss, rank D, apm ~70. Currently biggest issue seems to be multitasking and getting a routine down.
I can play pretty much any night 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. eastern time (yeah lol, I'm an insomniac). Doesn't mean I necessarily will be on iccup or b.net then (I'm a css fan but I'll be available (probably).
BTW SkelA, Stork's awesome
