Hey everyone, Ryan the Protoss player from NOVA here... I have recently been questioned by people from various streams as well as my own streaming (I work for IcCup TV and stream/cast my own laddering as well as tournaments for them)about the potentials of giving lessons.
My response: I'd love to, I love the sc2 community and getting involved with it any way possible.
So here's what I'm thinking, I'm curious to see what public response of this would be, but here is what is going on so far.
Actual Lessons would consist of 1v1 time (I play Protoss only so sorry for players of the other race, unless you have questions about playing AGAINST Protoss players) with myself with voice communicaton (preferred) via skype, vent, whatever.
However, after the lessons are even over, I'm more than happy to give out my personal MSN, as well as giving out my own replays, analyzing the person getting the lesson's replays, and playing casual 1v1 games on my own spare time without any payment required.
A little about myself via a SC2 Resume, here is a list of my current SC2 Accomplishments:
Ryan “Ryan” Rushia
21 Years Old
Been in Diamond ever since it was incorporated
Played in ITL’s 9 through 12 (record 2-2 in 4 series)
Played in OMFG.fm invitational Beta (Lose 2-3 to QXC)
Played in Big.TV Invitational (Won 2-0 to SlaineD)
Won 32-man [N] SC2 Tournament + 20$
Won 32-man Team Sanctum Tournament –

Made Round 4 of ESL Extreme Masters Season Cup 1
Played in OMFG.fm Invitational #1 8/6/10 (Won 2-0 to Attero)
High Ranked Diamond
2100 Protoss
Invitational player to both MLG Dallas and MLG DC
Unrelated to SC2 but related to lessons: I'd like to compound on what NzaR nicely pointed out. I am going to school for teaching in real life and therefore feel that I can effectively get what I mean to players of all levels and ages!
Please feel free to post back questions/suggestions/feedback ... it is greatly appreciated!
CHECK PAGE 2 for Youtube recording of the hour-long lesson between myself and FuriousJodo which he so kindly recorded/put on Youtube for me. Big thanks to him for that!
Thanks everybody!
Ryan

My big thing is that initially, before I get reviews and feedback from those who have taken lessons, is that the first hour of lessons will be completely free with no strings attached. After the culmination of the hour, the person is able to decide if they want to continue taking lessons sometime (which would take place any time the person requested), as well as having the choice of simply walking away and all I would request is a review of how the hour went. This would go for as long as necessary, until it is either abused, or people see reviews and no longer deem it necessary.
Should be more clear on that part or you're gonna get yourself into trouble.

Yea definitely for those who're struggling to get to platinum and diamond, Ryan will take you there.
Also Ryan forgot to mention that he has some teaching experience irl. I don't know if I could expand on that or not.
|
this is a great idea, go Ryan!
|
I taught Ryan everything I know, so he's good. (LOL RYAN  )
Seriously though, any Protoss players could learn a ton from him.

I took some lessons and you did a great job thanks omw to diamond!
|
Sounds cool!
What kind of offerings do you have to teach? Is it based on level in ladder? Skills your student needs to develop?
looks very promising imo =)
|
Very cool! I'd be interested in a lesson if you could swing it.
|
Heey Ryan, Chills here.
If you would like to help me out a little bit cause to be honest i'm a noob. But i really like to become a better player that would help me out alot. I'll hear from ya  .
Chillsssss

I can really recommend Ryan. Just had a question and got a quality answer in like no time.
Keep it up Ryan ! You are awesome.
|
Hey there Ryan! If you would ever do lessons on EU I would like to know if you could help me with Protoss from beginning basically, I've mained as Terran for whole beta and a little into release and am now thinking of changing to random, which means I have no experience playing Protoss. Maybe it would help alot having you helping right from the start.
Kind regards! // Amm

|

|
