Currently hard stuck at C (sometimes B) rank at the moment. Need someone to repeatedly point out what I am doing wrong. Hey, Nemu is willing to help you improve your skills. He's an A/S rank player for a long time and have pretty good understanding of the game. You can find him on twitch -> https://www.twitch.tv/nemubg and send him a message. He is streaming right now.

It's like if I give someone a golf lesson. Even if I get them making solid contact and hitting it relatively on target on the range, on the course their club & target selection and overall course management is going to prevent them from seeing any improvement. You never even stated what area(s) you think you're struggling or need help with. If you're only wanting to have someone in your ear telling you to scout/check for X or start Y building/upgrade then while seemingly helpful, is just going to disengage you mentally and have no long term value. You need to set specific goals and your best to achieve them, then try to incorporate everything. If you're just trying to get to a certain rank or MMR then I'd advise this:
You're going to run into a lot of smurfs, don't use that as an excuse or let it demotivate you. GL | ||

Once you have the same hair and can make the same faces Bisu has and Nada's ripped body, then you might be ready to sit down and start playing the game. For now, focus on your physical training and rugged good looks if you want to get to that next level. I hope this includes a FBH celebration at the end. If so would recommend | ||

Also stick to this set of openings, vs zerg specifically: Gateway, Forge, Cannon, Expo vs 9P Speed. Gateway, Forge, Expo vs 9p Gateway Expo Forge or Core vs overpool Gateway expo Core vs 12h And try to explain to yourself why the above applies. Why Gate, Forge Cannon, Expo vs 9 pool? Every choice you make you have to be able to explain to yourself why. | ||

You're going to run into a lot of smurfs, don't use that as an excuse or let it demotivate you. GL I think generally speaking I am looking to see how a more experienced player would respond to the situation. For example, in PvT against 6 fact push. The standard response to check whether the Terran is building 6 factories or starport / 3rd CC. A lot on times players on ladder build a turret ring early and I never get that intel, assumes the opponent is going for 3rd, and die to the push. Through a lot of games I figure an alternative response is to part the observer near the natural and see how often the CC blinks (making SCVs) and roughly deduct the opponent's intention. But it's after a lot of games. Similar case for PvZ 973, where the opponent blocks the ramp with 2 Zerglings and you don't know whether they are going hydra or lair. I eventually learn to count the drones at 3rd base to get roughly the same intel...etc. In a lot of the situation, the correct response isn't that obvious. In early days of this game, I die to early pushes a lot. And the response I did was to delay economy and make more defensive units while the correct response is the opposite - build up more economy advantage so you have more to defend the push. What I generally do with replay analysis is that whenever I lose to a player on ladder, I go to their cwal and download their replay against other protoss (which they lost to), and do a side by side comparison against mine to see what is the differences. In some cases, I often missed some minor details that makes huge differences later on. I also try to mimic exactly what they do in other games but in many cases, the opponent is doing something different so I never get to test the outcome / variations. In these cases, having a more experienced player that is willing to repeatedly do the same build and variations would help a lot in this try and error method. Also having a more experienced player explain what they would do under the situation is very helpful. I did post replay on CPL channels a lot, but a lot of the times, I don't get to ask a lot of the follow up question about why would they respond like that. So I think having a private coach in this case would help this case. At least I am a bit more comfortable to push for more questions / answers in these cases. | ||

that way you can have another scout unless the zerg stacks zerglings on the ramp expecting it The counting in the third works if you are not denied by lings from scouting (although I wonder what will happen if I transfer a few too many drones from my other bases) but in any case, you should have a corsair on ground path of the hydras in time and enough zealots to hold 7 hydra+ling (because you built a second cannon, one cannon is just automatically dead unless you made like 10 zealots) | ||

So I think having a private coach in this case would help this case. At least I am a bit more comfortable to push for more questions / answers in these cases. Judging from that I think the benefit of coaching would be lost on you at this time. You need to get a better understanding of the game and know what is possible. The only way you're going to get that is from playing and actually taking in what is happening. I'm sure even ASL Terrans would pay you for coaching for this mythical build to have enough minerals for turrets to stop all scouting while being able to have a threatening timing behind it. Trying to mimic something outside of a build order and the timings associated with isn't going to do you any favors long term. Take note of the timings and you'd get just as much benefit practicing single player as someone copy pasting a build, and in fact might be more beneficial since you seem to be diverting way too much attention to possible outcomes that don't even exist. If you have a game where you think you played well and are genuinely perplexed as to why you lost then I'd advise you just post it or alternatively seek out an English speaking streamer and try to get them to evaluate it. They might even do it for free, and If not a small donation or sub might get their attention. | ||

I will say though, you don't always need a personal coach and sometimes this is detrimental because players all have their own personal bias and tendencies and could very easily lead you in the wrong direction. It's up to you but imo you can improve a lot by just picking a pro player you really like that isn't super micro-intensive like SnOw and pull up their cwal and watch some reps. Find a build you really like in each match up and just practice that one build every time you play that match up until you know it inside and out. Get to know the build order, timings, when to scout, how to adjust or react to what your opponent is doing, find the holes, find the strengths, etc. and if you have questions as to why the player you picked did X Y or Z, or want suggestions on how to maneuver within the build itself, ask community forums or a foreign protoss player you respect / will answer you. Once you have that build completely down, repeat the process with another build, so on and so forth until you have at least a few well oiled builds down for each match up. This will shoot you up ladder rankings and give you something to work with in tournament play as well. No matter what though, you'll have to practice a lot and if you truly want to improve at this real time STRATEGY game, you will have to do a lot of replay studying and theory-crafting to actually get better. People get hard stuck by simply trying to copy builds without understanding the theory behind why players do what they're doing. Anyways, I hope that helped a little and I wish you the best of luck. | ||

If you're ever interested why someone was banned, you can view the automated ban list - https://tl.net/forum/closed-threads/32696-automated-ban-list On him, they just said "PBU" I honestly don't know what PBU is. My guess is Previously Banned User? | ||

If you need a hand's on approach Kwark is probably the most detailed in his specific builds but it will sound like a broken record as you consistently miss pylons or forget to make workers. Gotta be disciplined in constant worker production, pylon production, and gas timings. Depending on what matchup you're looking at that's the thing though, after someone "coaching me" like this I just stopped getting advice from people I can already tell myself to make overlords and spend my money without a coach. After a while I got better at it. Without anyone telling me to get better at it, since I already know that I should macro better A coach should tell you something you don't already know | ||
