Awe damn I feel terrible for you

Well I feel I have a pretty good knack for teaching people, so I'll offer a free one hour session if you like. Just send me a PM.

While this might be the case, he also yells at everyone in his stream a lot. If people ask (what i think tend to be legit questions, like, "why did you do this?") he bans them and calls them idiots etc.

I just feel like he's kind of an abrasive person in general


I got temp banned from his stream earlier today because I said he should have done something different (will not go into details) during his game against Tgun. I was a little sad of that reaction because I was polite in the way I said it and it wasn't meant to be mean to him... I don't know if it was him or one of his mods but I think I found the cause of that reaction... There are A LOT of trolls on his stream, which can be a source of stress. Maybe he just has a hard time dealing with that. All I know is that he's a great guy.

About this topic: He realized his mistake, he offered 2hrs of free coaching to the guy so I guess it's fine now.

I agree that the OP should have been compensated for my mistakes but I was not interested in bargaining at that time. I wanted to focus on practice and it impaired my judgement. I realize now I was being foolish for not even considering to offer him a deal and I should of at least thought about it before answering him.

n0btozz Feel free to message me anytime on Skype and I will gladly schedule you in for 2 free hours of coaching. Once again, sorry for the troubles.


On the risk of sounding a bit mildly aggrevated, your behaviour just baffles me. You now after a blog has been made came in and gave the reasoning. After a couple of pages has been posted about people midly irritated at you and telling their reasoning for not liking you nor what've done to players as well. Then you feel like offering 2 lessons for free ?

You should've offered those lessons to the poor fella straight out of the gate. Not after seeing how this even further just hurt your image. Not just mind boggeling that someone of your stature or viewed stature act towards poeple. With or without the reasoning you gave.

OP please don't do this. If he doesn't offer you a free hour and full refund, he doesn't care about your business and doesn't deserve it. There are so many other good protoss players out there that actually win tournaments and play at a competitive level. With all the rumors (which having known desrow personally for quite a while I am 99% sure they are all true) flying around there's no reason to associate yourself with him. Do yourself a favor and message somebody else.

/endrant.

Desrow... Manner up yo. You've been around the sc scene for a bit now and you've yet to mature as a person. You've come a long way as a player from when you first started but your people skills have always been lacking. Try and use better judgement.
Why?

Yeah that sucks. It's really unprofessional; if you (as a pro) schedule a paid coaching session with a student at a set time you are commited to attending that session. Would you expect a golf/tennis coach to behave like this? No. And if SC2 coaches can't behave in the same professional manner as those in other sports then they truly are hurting ESPORTS.


Dude, I hope your just trolling, but in case your not, please please please stop it with the, "it's killing/hurting esports", so annoying

All the other people that are coaching are taking profit of this thread... You guys want a free coach? Watch Day[9]'s dailies. That's all I have to say.

Being a coach is like being a teacher, raw skills at the subject don't cut it.

Desrow is known for a lot of controversy, i find it weird he's stream is still in still featured.
