If you're D to C level, please don't let this guy teach you anything (I'm guessing B level players don't need his help...lol). It's not necessarily an issue of his skill level, but an issue of his attitude. You don't come on the forum, posting a 30-4 record and some games vs high-level players, as your proof of adequacy as a teacher. Showing off doesn't help newbs get better at SC. Seriously, machinehead, what do you have to offer other than the record and attitude of every member in Clan Overdosed or X17?
"When it comes to helping someone, it's not a matter of if you are gosu, but rather if you are better than them." I might as well have just posted that quote. What bullshit. You think all the coaches of progamers are better than the progamers themselves? You clearly have no grasp of what it takes to teach.
Also, after reading more of this thread while writing this, I think this shit should be closed. This guy might as well be posting pictures of himself working out his six-pack, in piles of money, while getting head from a porn star.

I would post me doing all that (happened just this weekend) but I wouldn't want to make you feel even worse than my amazing replays and ICCup record did.
Btw: $5 for a lesson in any of these skills.
Ah dammit!

You're not particularly intelligent are you? This isn't a matter of opinion, it's empirical.

If I was just trolling that would have been great.

Pretty much. TL is very clique-ish now. As long as you are saying something that is in line with the main clique's view, you can swear as much as you want, be belligerent as much as you want, etc. Just don't try the same with an opposing view. It's just part of the process of a community's growth: as the length of time it has been around increases, the more important the core/old group of people become and the esteem they are held in / feel they can exercise.
Also I have no opinion on the OP of this thread.

I don't respect too many players, as players or people, but Day[9] is what is right in gaming. In short, it's hard to rationalize charging for teaching, when the best mind in the game -- Day[9] -- gives to a community, that somehow he likes (I guess), for free.
Since you seem to respect Day[9], I'm gonna say this one more time, in a way I hope that you can understand.
Day[9] recommends that beginning players focus on their mechanics before strategy. A quote from a transcript from his Mechanics Podcast:
"You know it's even kind of funny, because mechanics are so important that it sometimes can be detrimental to focus too much on strategy, especially for a beginning player, even though Starcraft is a real-time STRATEGY game. You'll end up with players who have a gimmick against each race, you know, they'll go lurker-ling fast against a Terran player, or they will go slow lurker drop against Protoss. They have all these different strategies, but they never focus on executing them very well. And then after a while when they're against sufficiently strong opponents, such players will end up having no options: none of their strategies work. And it's at times like these when players feel particularly lost in their play, and that's just a terrible feeling that I don't wish for anyone. However, if players focus on mechanics, not only do they end up being able to beat better and better opponents, but the strategy becomes much deeper. Because now, with things being executed so well, there's all of a sudden great options, I mean, having players be able to control vultures really well against Zerg has opened up an entire arena of mech play against Zerg players."
(http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=99950)
So, once more with gusto, the TARGET audience for whom you offered to teach in the first place (D-C) usually need help with their basic mechanics, etc. Of course theorycrafting and new ideas can help a lot, but mechanics play a huge role at that level. A B might have a BO loss to a D, but the B, with greater control and macro, can usually make a comeback over the D.

Ah...you type so much and say so little.
It's funny how the guy who doesn't fit into the "clique" is the one being belligerent and cussing, and the guy he's responding to (me) has about 45 posts.
