Jessica SNSD vs Made in Korea

Team meeting #3:

Daniel cannot attend tonights meeting because a black hole appeared and ripped the fabric of space-time causing him to hurtle into the future (Thursday) and therefore already missed the meeting. However, he posted us a laundry list of to-do items from the future. Team meeting tonight is not mandatory, but always nice to meet and greet other members. Also, I think it would be best if we all have our builds for our upcoming match prepared and send it in pm to coach choe. We can also all try out our build against coach (and each other) multiple times in order to better see the weaknesses and strengths.
List from the Future:
1. By now you guys should all know... what unit you use well, what BO fits you on the map you're playing in, and how to combine & maximize those strengths you have. So, STICK TO IT AND POLISH IT. Doesn't matter if your best unit and best BO makes you do zergling all-in all the friggin time, as long as you planned on it and practiced until you are PERFECT at it.
2. KEEP UP WITH MACRO DRILL!! I mean, hopefully you guys are all already masters of macro even without friendly(?) reminders thrown at you every 30 seconds, but if not, that's ok, you still got a week to practice, and a week is enough to become a macro master (micro takes a long time to develop, so i'll micro-train you guys AFTER y'all master macro)
3. Review ALL replays you saved since beginning of training (I assume you guys kept up with the homework from 1st team meeting?). Review games you won AND games you lost, and try to analyze and remember WHY you won or lost. Even better, review your replays with other teammates, since they might see and point out things that YOU may have missed.
4. Finally... It's good to be critical when you practice, but even so, NEVER lose confidence in your BO and your skills. Win rate vs random people is not necessarily an indication that you picked a wrong BO. It's more likely that it's not polished enough, you made a stupid mistake, or the opponent was lucky. If still in doubt, PM/AIM me and ask to play sometime - I'll be the judge of what's right/wrong.

Team meeting #2:

Evaluation of training. We discussed how the team is looking and discussed the lineups for next week's match against Jessica SNSD. Make sure you don't post anything here about the lineups..
:D
Homework for the week:
1. Review the sim-cities for each map. You can use coach choe's suggestions or practice your own if you prefer. Sim-City pack should have been emailed out to everyone a few days ago. Not all of Coach's walls are ling tight as pointed out by Stephen. Practice and memorize the sim-cities for your map. Also, Sim city 2000 > Sim City 4
2. Train in Team melee mode. Preferably with same race partners but not required. One person will play while the other person reminds the player to macro. Or the person not playing can just yell at the player in hopes of distracting them. Remember, if you can play your best while having crude and explicit imagery throw at you via b.net chat, you can play your best ANYWHERE.

Team meeting #1:

Introductions, and meeting everyone. Especially important, everyone stated their favorite food. Probably the most critical element to us playing starcraft at a high level so it's important to remember that. We will be using AIM as the primary method of communication. Members are expected to be active and be online (either aim or iccup) as much as possible. Weekly meetings will take place on Wednesdays at 9pm EST in the channel MIK on iCCup. (or east if iCCup is down) Also, try to make sure all games are played on Obs maps and save replays for review. Homework for the week:
1. Follow professional Starcraft. Matches can be seen live through streams on the right OR all matches will be posted in the small VOD thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=50875
2. Learn the CPL maps. All players are expected to know all key locations and the necessary sim-cities for their race in EACH starting location.
3. Make sure you have everyone's iCCup name in your friends list and everyone's AIM name on your buddy list. (Listed below) If your aim is not listed below, or you do not have one, post it in this blog and I will update the roster. I personally recommend using www.meebo.com for AIM since you don't need to download anything

Hey guys, I'm Sangwoo and i'm a freshman in violin performance at Indiana university this year. I knew about starcraft because of my korean heritage but I didn't actually start playing myself till around the height of Savior's reign. I started out as protoss but now i'm Zerg. I decided to start playing seriously a few weeks ago and when this opportunity showed itself, I knew what it is i must do. Finally, I could live up to my race and not suck at starcraft. No more will i face the humiliating question "u from?" on iCCup and not know how to answer.

Hello guys! My name is Kevin and I'm a sophmore Illustration student at The Savannah College of Art and Design. I've owned and played starcraft casually since a little after broodwar was released. I've been following the pro scene, since i found out it existed about a year ago, and have been addicted to watching it since. I've only started to try to play more competitively a few months ago, and have only really tried to play ICCUP within the last month or two.

hey all, Im Face aka Bruno. I'm 26 and working as a software programmer. I work really early so I might not be able to be at all meeting at 9pm since its starting to be late for me (I wake up at 4:45am ... ) I'm playing SC since it'S out with a 2-3 year game that I didn't play. I was really active 5 year ago playing on East (when East was a good server). I start to play more actively in 1v1 and I reached D+ for first time last season (playing 20 game lol). I played a lot more 2v2 those past season (about 150 game per season). I'm from Quebec, Canada so my english isn't 100% :D

Hi guys, my name is joseph (but everyone I know calls me joey) I'm 12 years old and have been playing RTS games with my dad since I was 6-7 but only recently found SC. I'm in 8th grade, but I'm sitting in my stepfather's collage philosophy class and yes, I do understand some of the material. I heard about SC by watching commentaries of another game called rome total war, because the guy said he'd played it before. I saw it in gamestop, bought it and loved it ever since. I've started playing a few months ago, and went from losing to the comp to a high d-/low d.

Hey guys, You can all call me Ken. I'm from Toronto, Canada, currently in a information technology college program. I've been following starcraft since it first came out, but I haven't really gotten around to playing it seriously until a couple of months ago. I hope we can all get a good experience out of this =)

Hi dudes, my name is Nick. I go to the University of North Dakota and am majoring in sociology. I've played starcraft casually (think money maps) since 2001. Earlier this year I decided to get serious and started playing on ICCUP. My TvP and TvZ are about D+ and like D- in TvT lol. I also love watching professional starcraft.

Hey guys, I'm Stephen and I'm a freshman in biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University this year. I got into starcraft a bit late (broodwar already out) but like Sangwoo started keeping up with the pro-scene around when Savior was owning everyone's faces. I started out as zerg but have recently switched to terran, so if anyone needs some v. zerg help I'm up for matches as either T or Z.
