Thanks to everyone that messaged me or posted here. Due to the high number of people that responded, I will start by creating a Discord server and sorting requests. I want to prioritize those that are looking for a long-term road to improvement, and not those that are looking for match preparation or "quick fixes". As a coach, it motivates me personally for the player to match my dedication. To be honest, I did not expect such a quick turnaround and did not have a program detailed out. However, before I start I want to have something more streamlined. A very rough format of a coaching session may look like an interview section where I ask you things such as your history with the game, how you approach issues, etc. I believe it is important to identify all of those things before you undertake anything be it sports, music, or in this case SC. I don't believe I'm in a position to claim who is going to be committed or not, but I hope for the sake of others you answer that question for yourself before applying!
Also, here are some responses to questions that I have been asked frequently:
No, I do not intend to play 1v1 competitively anymore. I want to focus completely on the community and overall improvement of the playerbase.
Yes, I am open to helping with any matchup/race. I have several other people that I have asked to be a part of my team, and this is in hopes of giving you well-rounded information.
No, I will not be charging. I just want everyone to enjoy the game a bit more.
The following is just for those that want a bit more information, but basically, I will be taking appointments and be doing one on one sessions. On initial lessons, my team will evaluate any obvious trouble areas and give general guidance while we work on tailoring a program that works for that individual. Further sessions may see in-depth replay reviews and specific practice. Any interviews or coaching sessions that I find may be especially beneficial to many others I would like to provide transcripts or videos with the user's permission.
Despite this direction that I am pushing, I believe that in and out of the game there is something you can learn from everyone.

So I don't mean to be spam-posting or anything, but this makes me very excited and I just have to say that I am really looking forward to this! :D Thanks so much!

You coached me before on CPL and we are even friends on discord at the moment, but I am posting here to say I am glad you have returned to SC. I am a lower level than many of the people who you have the ability to assist, but I want to say Beast is willing to put in the time for players at any level and that is something I can always appreciate. I recommend anyone looking for someone to learn from try to get some help from Beast.
Name : Allan IGN : avanhokie Rank/Tier: D/C Rank usually Goal: Solidly B Rank Discord: avanhokie#2110 Timezone: EST Hey Avanhokie, I think I might remember you from CPL I hope this initiative takes off, and in the meanwhile you can hit me up on battlenet / discord, we can play some games (my Zerg is D level as well).
Sounds good, I remember you from the team. I'll hit you up on discord or something. Maybe once Beast gets a server going.

Also, if anyone does any video editing as a hobby or would like to get into video editing, feel free to dm me and we can sit down and talk about that. I want to create a more professional database of videos to be used as resources.
On a side note, I will be monitoring the discord server closely and invites for now will be managed by myself.

-What is your max MMR / what season? -Current MMR? -Why are you a better coach then every other one in the scene at the moment? (Honest curious question, because it seems you are perpetuating the MO that you are the bees knees, the best coach that has ever lived, and you can coach better than anyone else in the scene.) -What are your accomplishments besides believing you reached a high level in the foreign scene with no real results? (If you have posted the results, I just haven't seen them so forgive me)
I agree that the coaches at the moment seem to have a cookie cutter / generalized approach to giving advice, as if every match will be the same / same variables, which just isn't true. I agree that people need a more 1 on 1 style of coaching.
What I am trying to wrap my head around is creating an entire new community from the ground up based on the idea that everyone else's coaching style is wrong, and yours is right. Are you going to coach other coaches how to coach as well?
The idea is a great idea, but why not just help the coaches coach better in CPL currently? Is the whole ideology based upon creating a new community where there is no elitism and people are coached "properly"?
I also agree people need to end the pissing contest but I don't know that any one person can change the entire scene in it's current state by themselves, except maybe FlaSh. =P
Regardless, i'd love to help and I think the initiative behind it is great, nothing wrong with trying.
I played a bunch of games with this guy several years ago. I can't remember if I won any. I do remember he was really strong and also very cool. He's obviously not the best foreigner but he is good enough to coach most players. I guess you can check him out for yourself to decide if his information is useful for you. It may or may not be.
Also I think it is totally reasonable for you to be skeptical. If I didn't know the dude I would be too.

The problem with your baiting is that you are already a rather infamous character yourself. I won't be addressing any of your questions on my credibility. I will let others speak on my behalf for that. My post was obviously intended for those that either knew me in the past or those that were serious about improvement.
As far as your "honest curious question, because it seems you are perpetuating the MO that you are the bees knees, the best coach that has ever lived, and you can coach better than anyone else in the scene". I find that to be in poor taste as that was never the focus. I never mentioned any coaches, but a general methodology when approaching the game. You speak of changing the entire scene, but that was also never mentioned. Either way, individual initiative is pretty important for any sort of change. I clearly urged only those that sympathize with my values to write back.
Dude this is an insane reaction to a very reasonable question hahaha

It's always nice to have coaches when the game is this hard.
I'm envying that animated portrait since Remastered launched, don't think with my work schedule I'll ever reach that rank. I'm also interested, how much time you guys with A, S rank practice daily?

No particular schedule, just been playing a lot of ladder. Improving macro, getting timings precise, asking for help from others, etc.
