A little update, he did say he was sorry and gave me his replay pack for free, which is something I guess, but I think I can get pro replays pretty easily.

At least he said sorry, but his reasons were pretty self centered, mainly that he wanted to get good at the game himself so he doesn´t have time to train people he treats badly at any sort of discount...yeah..ok

Why would you want to learn Starcraft II from a proven stream sniper/cheater who clearly abused this on his way to GM league? Yes, there is such a thing as using powerful 'clever uses of ingame mechanics' to your advantage in order to maximise your winrate rather than sit back and call things cheap but it's not like any credible tournament would let you stream cheat or excessively badmouth your opponent. Yes, they'll let you 7 pool or 4-gate your opponent but not get an unfair advamtage by scouting your opponent through watching their livestream.

In fact, I think Combat is only really two steps above a drop hacker and one step above a map hacker. Why you ask? His actions are disputed in terms of ladder but are undeniably cheating in the competitive scene.

Yes, he's surprisingly good at Starcraft and knows his shit but he's not "the best.", and he surely didn't hit NA's Grandmaster league via legit tactics.

This is pretty terrible.

Unfortunately not everyone is good at being professional when it comes to dealing with clients.... that's why companies in the real world have PR managers etc.

This isn't the way most coaching is. As you said, you need to find the right coach for you. Some will be more professional than others, and at your level you don't need the highest level coach (don't need a grandmasters player to teach you how to get to masters). Don't be discouraged!

Lulz desrow, he's bad anyways, desser and combatex stomps his ass everytime till they lost interest in him and start harrasing destiny. if you want free practice/lessons I will help you out, come to channel smi on b.net look for me, if i'm around I will play with you, never buy any lessons, it's pretty useless if you are already in diamond.

Unfortunately.... yes.

His Brood War videos don't seem too bad, and some people have apparently improved through watching his guides, and he didn't seem too bad until this whole badmouthed win begging/stream cheating side of him emerged.

However, I'm disappointed that the guides he put out for Starcraft 2 are pretty much nonexistent and are at a time when SC2 was in beta and not even the pros knew the best builds to use. That's when attempting shit like 1 Gate Colossus drops which you see in the following video I've linked would have actually worked.



After seeing his persona back in BW (Based on his past YT videos) before his ban from TL, it makes me wonder what the fuck happened to his behaviour to turn him into the stream cheating crap-talker he is now.

EDIT: I didn't exactly want to turn this thread from a discussion about Desrow's douchiness into a discussion about CombatEX. I was merely replying to somebody's message about learning from Combat, and this as a reply to somebody linking the video announcing his glorious (if you can put it that way) return to tutorial videos.

lol desrow

this guy is a self marketing whore. he has paid for two sponsored threads and also got perm banned (but then unbanned) for posting multiple 1 liner threads with a link to his blog.

i was actually completely confounded as to why this guy is still featured on the stream list. its literally the only thing he has going for him and the only reason he gets any sort of attention because hes definitely not a good player

Don't get me wrong, I think he's a decent player but damn, he needs to learn some fucking forum etiquette before offering coaching lessons or advertising his stream/blog on TL...

At least that's based on what the OP and others initially said.

In any case, big shame for your problem mate. That is kind of a really rude and unprofessional move from Desrow. I hope someone offers you some free lessons to compensate :/

I hear some pretty bad stories about Desrow, I never know they're true since no one ever takes screenshots.


thanks man

^ this
couldn't have said it better

Also, get coaching from Minigun. He understands all the match-ups so well because he's also a successful Terran player and nearly as competent with Zerg.

This sucks, I had a similar situation but got it resolved. I agree that not all coaches display the professionalism customers expect.

Just try to get a refund I guess and find someone else who is a better coach (and player) than desrow

on his stream just now, desRow just went through some of the skype logs and said that the OP went "bi-polar" on him.

professional, if i may say so myself.
