Hello! Are you still taking students? My battle net ID is Dudebro.579

I am low diamond, and feel like my play is too unstructured and uninformed to be consistent. Sometimes I think I've been winning purely on the very basics in zvp and zvt.


Message me on Skype so we can schedule.

SpiKy is an extremely good coach with a very extensive knowledge to starcraft and game mechanics. I was having a huge problem with ZvT (about a 20% winrate :'( ). After having only an hour long session with him he helped me out TREMENDOUSLY with what I was doing wrong, what I needed to be doing whether it may be micro, macro, timing, engagements. He is also extremely well mannered, like if he asked me to do something and I failed to do it, he wouldn't get all pissy like some coaches would and would consistently be saying "good job" when doing little things, like preventing a drop, which may not even seem like a lot, but it makes the session much much more enjoyable.

5/5 and I really hope to do future sessions with you :D

SpiKy is a very good coach and I feel like I gained a lot of knowledge for only an hour of coaching. He is very clear and shows you how to improve in a very "to-the-point" manner. Very easy to understand what he is trying to say to you and what your doing wrong.

5/5 this guys is awesome and I would recommend him to anyone :D

Spiky helped me catch up on the meta game. He helped me find weaknesses is in play in a way only a good coach can. He was patient, willing to talk over the matchups and was never impatient or annoyed despite my weak attempts to follow his instructions while playing. I have stuff to work on for weeks and I feel my Z v t is solid enough to make it back into masters.

If people are willing to pay for coaching and feel satisfied with the results then what's the problem? Just because you can beat them on ladder doesn't mean they are unqualified to coach lower league players. It just sounds like jealously to be honest. If you don't want people like him to coach then offer better coaching yourself and stop complaining.

I think if you plan on charging in the future you should make it to GM first

Well, the whole idea behind this is helping people reach their goals--not necessarily trying to get people to be playing at a GM level. I think teaching silver people to play at a GM level would not be realistic at all because GM's have very crisp timings, insane macro and micro, and have a lot of game sense. If someone's goal is to promote from, say, Silver to Gold, then I don't think a GM is necessary.

I admit, a GM coach would probably be able to teach much more analytical things, such as scouting nuances and the like, but when we're talking about lower levels (Diamond and below), you'll pretty much hear everyone saying the same thing: macro better, scout more often, etc.

EDIT:

Very informative, knowledgeable, professional, and talkative. You explained it very well and clear. However I was a bit intimidated at times (because of the professionalism). Overall great coaching. Thanks so much!
