I guess stuff they could tell you that is difficult to pick up on your own is like analyzing in game situations and explaining thought processes that go with things in the game, for example, why they do the things they do ... etc. | ||

I have no talent to SC. It would be a waste of money. | ||

Almost every single gosu learnt by himself... There are exceptions tho (iloveoov) I still don't think its worth it because after a while you'd find yourself handing out HUGE sums of cash... | ||

1. I actually cared about achieving something tangable with the game. 2. Somewhat wealthy myself & reasonable prices. 3. Person actually showed themselves capable of improving my play worthwhile to cost. None of which apply. | ||

Second, in say other sports, the best coaches are rarely ever the best players. Along the same lines I cant imagine that the best bw players would be the best coaches (although in this case, such "best coaches" dont exist, so I guess the next in line would be the best players) | ||

It wasn't as if he merely sat in my games, went afk, then offered me a few generic comments like "more macro" afterwards. He really took some time to pull me aside, explain the fundamentals, and outline in detail exactly what the top players do and why. As far as paying for lessons goes, here is the logic as far as I'm concerned: - We pay $$ for Broodwar because it is fun, no? - An increase in skill can potentially lead to better opponents, better games, and more opportunities within the community (clan wars, tournaments, showmatches, etc). - The aforementioned events make the game ... well ... more fun ^_^ - Hence, it is no different than originally paying for the game in the first place, at least in my mind. People are not critical of personal trainers, private music instructors, etc. Broodwar should be no different in my opinion. | ||
