Hi everyone!!

So, I have decent mechanics, but I know little to nothing about modern day BW builds [both placement and order]. Although there are quite a few recommended threads in the strategy forum, generally they are relatively old and not up-to-date with the most recent round of builds. Also, I don't know the more recent progaming maps, so I'd like to learn those with regards to the builds.
I'd like to find someone to help teach me these builds (preferrably C+ or higher I guess, although if you have particularly great knowledge and are lower ranked that's fine). In return, I'll help you practice. If for some reason you want, I'll teach you BGH inner builds/teamplay.

I've seen the IRC practice team topic, but I'm looking for someone to actually teach me the build orders/building placements, not just someone to practice against.
PvZ PvT PvP TvZ
(currently I've been TvZing, although it would be nice to be able to PvZ. I've been avoiding it since I'm so bad at that matchup :D)

Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

OK but I really have no idea what the hell I'm doing when I play PvZ :D

Maybe at mechanics, but my build order knowledge is pretty bad, from back in 2003-2004 era.

I'll teach you. You're my bitch. I've never lost to you or anyone in your team PvP. You need to stop relying on your mechanics and learn from the veterans like me.

Except even those maps are a bit outdated since most people are just playing on current PL maps etc.

Are you kidding? Lost Temple was motw last week on icc. Blue Storm and Python are still pretty much all you need.

I obsed some of your games before, honestly you really suck imo might as well just quit, but if you want to get possibly a little past being a complete newbie you can pm for some reps of myself so you can emulate A++ iccup rank foreigner greatness.

I'll play you but the best I can do is tell you what I'm going to do and see if you can defend it/beat me. I'm not really very good about protoss theory (probably because there isn't any)
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

I'll be willing to spend some time with you if you're really interested. I'm B- right now on iccup (shameless brag), so I think you'll be okay as far as my credentials. Let me know if you're interested~
