Welcome to Team 4. I'm Dan, and my co-coach (aka the better coach) is Ray. As cheesy as it sounds, I hope you guys are ready to kick ass, because we're super pumped to teach you. Ray may beg to differ, but I strongly believe that, first and foremost, we're here to help you guys out. That means by the end of this, you're all going to be much stronger players, regardless of whether we win or lose. But after working with us, I'm sure you'll feel like taking this entire league should be a piece of cake (and it will be, given you put in the time and effort).
The most important thing I want you guys to know, though, is that we can only carry you so far. We can teach you plenty of earth-shattering things and give you helpful hints, but the most important things, we can't teach you, including basic micro and macro. These things take practice: we can make the learning process faster, but we can't make you learn it.

Finally, tell us a bit about yourselves. I'll start off:
My name is Dan Chen, and I'm a freshman at Caltech. Despite being at the most anal-retentive college in America, I should be reasonably free to coach next term because we're still going to be on Pass/Fail grading (up yours, Ray). I started playing Starcraft seriously around when sAviOr started slumping, and Jaedong was on his legend-killing warpath (late 2007). And that's when I met Ray. He spent countless hours bashing my noob ass all the way up to where I am today. I hope he can do the same for all of you (except with more teaching and less bashing).

And, as a final note. DO NOT mention APM or BWChart or eAPM or any of that nonsense to me. PERIOD. Also, DO NOT talk about racial imbalances. Everything is imbalanced in Starcraft. It's up to you to exploit the imbalances in your favor.

I hope you guys have fun!

hello fellow team members-

If you haven't caught on by now my name is Ray. I am a freshman at Duke. I started playing StarCraft about six years ago, and started to get competitive at the game around three years ago. Since then I have been part of the national team and have been following both the foreign/progaming scene pretty diligently. I am willing to do my best to help you guys learn. Luckily for you guys, my off-races are nearly as good as my Protoss, so your race won't be much of a problem. And Dan the sexy can help you out with Zerg. Believe it or not, I first met Dan when he was a mere D- novice (like some of you) but I have trained him all the way up to where he is now: C+. You better believe it Anyhow, I look forward to working and playing with you guys. I want to get an idea of who's who and where everyone is at in terms of skill, so please PM me or message me on iCCup - DerivAtives.

Alright I sent the coaches a PM already but here for my mates:
I'm Chris! First year University student from Canada with a part time job working at a retirement home.
I'm D+ Protoss and D Terran/Zerg, I dodge TvTs though.
My timezone is PST (-8 GMT), and I am usually on in the evenings (after 7pm), and other than that I can be on just about anytime given enough notice.
iCCup IDs:
[CPL]numLoCK -> I'll be using this one mostly now
numLoCKzzz
TSL-numLoCK
[vIU]Inspired

Hm, I have no idea for the team name, I guess I'll spend some time to think of some suggestions.
I look forward to getting some games going guys!

I sent some PMs out, but here's some infro for Team-mates:
I'm David, I work at a large corp doing IT and networking in the Greater Vancouver area.
I'm a D/D+ zerg, I try to dodge ZvT when possible...
Timezone: PST GMT-8
I'm on during the evenings, generally 7PM onwards, I however am busy tues/wed evenings and saturday afternoons (late enough I can easily make the league games.)
iCCup ID Shiladie
Rating max = ~2500

I of course have Vent, and think we should get together as a group on vent and get to know eachother/decide on a team name that way.

Team 4!

Hey team, since we're going off a first name basis mine is Chad. I'm a junior in highschool. I started playing SC when it first came out and played on and off. I didn't play competitively until just this summer and have been watching the progamers for a little over a year now. I'm really excited to start working with the team and the coaches and yes I do believe that we're gonna smash this league!

I started to play zerg and never looked back after watching jaedong(total fanboy) play. On the CPL News and Announcement thread it said I was D+ but don't let it fool you. I'm borderline and need lots of work to stay at that rank. I play best around 5:30 PM PST to around 9. Past those hours my mechanics, timing, decision making, multitask etc. start to falter and I get slower. I hope that we can work on this and focusing and learning how to rebound from things like that. Also since its winter so my hands are cold and it sucks to micro with cold hands.

I got a mic(if you guys have vent or something) and already registered a [cpl]sixduck account, if you can't find me there then I'm on my other accounts: sixduck, preech. My aim sn is chadmeltsfaces and if you want other info just pm me.

Sorry you didn't get picked, wilson. I guess you were too good

I would, but I'm at work right now, and then busy tonight unfortunately.
With the holiday season It's a difficult time to schedule things, I'm going to be out of the country all this weekend, and though I plan on playing as much as possible next week, with all the xmas parties and such I'll be a bit bogged down.

What IDs should I look for when i do make it on iCCup?
