Poll: Would you pay money to learn BW? (Vote): Yes (Vote): No Before anything ... this post is aimed at lesser skilled players. What I want to know is this: would you pay money to get tutored by better players at BW in order to improve? If you answer yes : about how much would you pay (What is the most you would pay to get tutored by a relatively well known and good BW player) ?? If you answer no : why not? Anyways, thank you in advance for your input  -Xeris | ||

Basically, if I were going to pay someone (especially a Brood War player) any kind of money I'd have to see some kind of "training outline" just to make sure they were serious & had a sound method of teaching. How much do other kinds of teachers get paid for this kind of thing -- like a tennis coach or something? | ||

No, it's not a joke. But I don't like taking some peoples money depending on their finances / country. But I have, and will again. | ||

I think certain things cant be taught, so unles they can garantee an improvement (which is kind of hard to measure) I wouldnt go for it. Youd be surprised to know some good players can put just little of their game understanding in words. Its like playing GO, you make moves that feels good or feels right at a given time. Though in Starcraft there is a reasonning (or should be!), its not easy to unravel its secrets. Specially when it comes to timing decision which come mostly from experience. I dont think timing and control can be taught as much. Certainly, they could show BOs, strats, like you find everywhere and you can do by yourself, anything deeper I dont think you can find anywhere, and no one can say for sure. Also, i play sc to be entertained. I dont plan to make a living out of it, and therefore its not a good investment... One might say that I do pay for swimming lessons, and tennis lessons even though I dont plan to make a living out of neither. I guess the main difference is the accessibility to courts and swimming pools, also free ranking to allow me to compete in this sports with people of my own level. However I think would be great to have SC free lessons :D PGT was starting the system where players ranked B and above could apply as a teacher, and players intersted would give their ICQ#/MSN. Shame it went down...  | ||

i mean in an imaginary world where for some reason a progamer like boxer, savior etc. wanted to train me in good english + knew how to teach + wanted a ridiculously low price ($1/hour, just making that up) then yes but since their time is probably worth more than i would want to spend (a valid assumption considering i wouldn't even want to teach someone for how much i would spend even if they were willing to pay me that) then no | ||
