Just got coached by Coolent (Colocool here on TL) for one and a half hour. It was amazing! First we played a game to see how my general game plan looked like, and discussed what I did good and less good. I took in the advice and then we played some more and we discussed my weakest MU: PvP. We talked expo taking, colossus timings and such, learned me loads of things. Like, before I had awkward expo taking, was unsure when to and such. I didn't really scout much, but now I really do and understand the importance of it really. Then we discussed the famous 4gate. He taught me good unit compositions because I usually just went stalker heavy. He taught me how to fend off the 4gate, what to transition into and such. The mindgame of the defender etc.

I'm only silver so this was really helpful to me as I look to improve but I don't for some reason.

That's it for me, thanks alot!

pvp is simple: never expo or you die on pushes.

counter 4 gate?
on normal maps with 1 entrance you can even 3 gate! wow. transition? stalkerheavy = blink, not stalkerheavy = robo.

and that in 1 1/2 hours? sense where?^^

^ Probably in gold himself. Don't be a dickwad.

EDIT: On topic, awesome to see you learned some stuff. I'm just starting out and went my first 15 or so games with a general idea but no real clue. So far I've figured out the general sweet spot on the 4WG and I'm trying to make up for those first couple terrible games. Can't wait till I can learn when to expo properly and the other timings as well!
