Hi everyone,

you may know me from this thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=242653 or from my blog and my guides for the Terran race at BallbreakerTV Blog/Guides.

I know that my guides can serve as a starting point to learn the Terran's mechanics, but I would like to offer you some coaching as well. As you might know, I am a Master League Terran that is exclusively playing against highly ranked Master Players and sometimes even Grandmaster players .

I have already done a couple of coaching lessons, so I am not totally new to this.
I first take a look at your mechanics and your macro overall. If you are a more experienced player, I will show you some neat tricks that could turn out to be the difference you need to refine your gameplay.
If you like I can show you basic and more specific build-orders. You will get an insight on HOW and WHY the build-order works. Also, I will talk about things to keep in mind while using the build-order you like.

I am going to focus on...
  • Macro and Micro
  • Build-orders
  • Tricks to refine your Gameplay
  • Scouting
  • Unit compositions
  • Surviving early game and being strong in mid- and late-game


I coach in English and German.
EU server only!

Now, if you would like to apply for a coaching lesson you can go to my blog' coaching page at BallbreakerTV and follow the instructions there. (>> write an e-mail to ballbreakertv@live.de and tell me the preferred time/date and the match-up you would like to focus on)


Keep in mind, the coaching is totally free, but if you like you can donate to my paypal account to help out my project. However, this is not needed, but appreciated!


Yours,
Ballbreaker





HINT: I am going to stream a coaching lesson today probably (if I find an English "student"), so make sure to check it out at BallbreakerTV - Justin.tv

It is so nice to see that more and more people are starting to coach just for their own satisfaction
If I played Terran I would definitely sign in.
Keep up the good work!

I can teach Terrans up to low Masters League and probably Zergs and Protosses up to Diamond, as I have been a random player for quite a while.



If you would like to sign up!
Then write an e-mail to ballbreakertv@live.de and tell me your preferred date and time, as well as the match-up you would like to focus on. Also, you can just go to my blog's coaching page and follow the given instructions !

As I already have 14 students I will not take anymore! However, you can still ask me for a coaching lesson and I will put you on a "waiting list".

Of course, the project I am doing right now consumes quite a lot of time, so I will privilege the people that donate to my paypal account. I hope you understand that!

Hiyo.

I wasn't really active in Starcraft 2 for the last couple of weeks, but in 4 days I'll be back in business.

I am planning on doing far more coaching/streaming and playing myself, so to all of you who would still like to apply for coaching from a high level Master Terran, just drop me an e-mail at ballbreakertv@live.de !


To introduce you, here is an original post from my Terran blog (www.ballbreakertv.wordpress.com)

Hey Ho Let’s Go!

I am almost back in Germany. I will arrive at the 28th of August. From then on, this Blog shall rise to never seen brightness!

Coaching
As a lot of you responded to my coaching offer, I will of course keep doing this. I will send an email to all of you once I get home, showing you my preferred date and time for coaching lessons. There will be quite a few lessons in the next week, but, due to high demand, I am still not sure if everyone that asked will get a coaching lesson within the next two weeks.
Of course, the lessons are free, donations are highly appreciated!

In the lesson you can choose if you would like to analyse replays of your own (I like to do that with Platin+ players, as they usually know the fundamentals and struggle with more specific things in their gameplay), you like to learn builds (good for every player) or if you would like to learn the fundamentals, such as scouting, unit compositions and expansion timings (this I like to do with lower league players).

Games
I myself will of course play a lot more games, too. Still, I would like to get to top Masters, if not Grandmaster League, this/next season.

I will play in a couple of (smaller and bigger) cups to get some playing experience and maybe boost the blog’s popularity. I won’t deny any price money either :p, but right now I don’t think I could beat pro-level players.

Hint: I play Terran again ! Protoss worked pretty well, but doesn’t suit me as well as Terran does, and watching me play Zerg was a disaster…

Streaming
Yep. I will stream most of this stuff. I just (finally) got a nice and shiny internet connection with great upload speed, so you will be able to enjoy an HD Starcraft 2 Stream showing coaching lessons, first-person view games and cup games!
I hope that you’ll tune in !

Guides
I will not publish any guides in the next couple of weeks. Well…maybe one or two, but I really don’t have THAT much time to put in Starcraft 2, so I hope you understand this!

Ballbreaker (see ya next week, yo)

So to all of you that would still like to apply for a free coaching lesson, drop me a mail at ballbreakertv@live.de. Looking forward to hearing from you soon .
