Do you offer coaching? I have very good macro when I'm attacking and microing. my weakness is when I'm attacking at multiple places at once and still macroing every mineral. I know I have to keep working on it to get better but any advice?

I don't do any official coaching since I don't think I have the qualifications or time to do that. I'll do my best to answer any questions. I do have a stream and skype so you can follow me and catch me when I'm live so I can answer questions more promptly.

As for your question about "attacking multiple places at once and still macroing every mineral", I don't see how that would be any different from microing and macroing at the same time (building units/injecting by using your hotkeys during battles). Could you be more specific?

As a side note, which I still think is important:
When people talk about working on something to get better, I hope you are stressing the fact that you are actually working on it. For your example, when the situation comes up where you are doing multi-pronged attacks, make a conscious decision and say "hey, here's an opportunity to improve simultaneous macro and micro". Don't be one of those people that just keeps playing and massing games thinking they are going to get better just with experience. You will get better with experience, but make each experience count!

^I think I may actually make this a separate blog post and elaborate more on making practice count, since its something people don't really stress about.

do you end up making units in between 2nd and 3rd or do you just time when to make your third well
