Hello TLers!

+ Show Spoiler +
I am no longer free, but please get in touch if you want coaching!


My name is Pilkington and I am offering free Zerg coaching for Bronze to Platinum league players on the North American server. I am a high diamond level zerg and am interested in trying out coaching. I have a Masters degree in Education and love to teach people how to improve both at school and Star Craft! I have a lot of RTS experience having played thousands of Brood War games and have played SC2 since the beta. My main strengths as a player are game sense and macro. I can help any player below Diamond to improve these things. I hope to use these free coaching sessions to hone my coaching to a point where I could charge for the service, but for now it would be fun for me to try helping out some people in the mean time!

Send me a PM on Team Liquid, respond to this post, or message me in game with your skype information to get in touch!

'What lake is the Loch Ness monster from?' And, 'What were those things in Gremlins called?' Are some of my personal favorites. And of course the diary.

I recommended having coaching done by Pilkington. He is very helpful, in all general aspects of the game, and can basically improve all players AT LEAST platinum and below. He is a nice guy and easy to talk to and understand. Thanks again for helping me!

I must say... Wow! Pilkington was an incredible help to this little bronze league-er. He is a really nice, down-to-earth guy who helped me pick out some problems that likely would have gone unnoticed for hundreds of more games. I honestly believe that if you don't attempt to learn from him, then you're missing out on a great teacher. Thanks for the help Pilkington! And I'll see everyone in the proleagues! :D

Pilkington just coached me, he is really chill, went through my replay with me told me EVERYTHING about it, super informative and then we played a game and he talked me through what should be going through my head at certain points during the game, had A LOT of great advice, talked about overload placement, expanding, scouting, unit composition etc. Pointed out a lot of things I had no idea I was doing wrong, i already feel like I improved ten fold.

thanks again pilk, hopefully we can do it again sometime

This guy absolutely knows what he's doing - I highly recommend getting his coaching if you're platinum or below.

Pilkington knows what he is doing, if you are looking for a zerg coach I would definitely recommend him. After one lesson with him he diagnosed all of my bad habits, and told me what i should work on. Most of the coaches I have been with just teach me a build and help me improve it, which is annoying because that doesn't really help.

Is this still happening? If so, would you like to set up a time or do we just hop on and hope you're free?

Yeah as my time allows I am still offering free coaching. My schedule right now is a little random so PM me your bnet ID and skype ID and when I can find some hours here and there I'll be looking for people to train.
