Ironically he disses the other guy talking about being GM. He is NOT GRANDMASTER nor even close. There was also a rumor he paid someone to level his account, doesn't matter because he couldn't sustain it. Because he plays a limited style he really rips off terran and protoss players (I am a coach and have heard from new students who received Tangs coaching). All this "lecture" is -was you casting a replay where you ling/roach busted someone. You could just watch some DarkForce replays to see crisp timings or other aggressive zergs, but you chose to host your own. And no this is not a troll nor do I have particular beef with Tang, but part of me doesn't like to know a coach taking advantage of people is out there. This is almost as BM as you were to me when you lost while off-racing on a smurf account... In all seriousness, though, I don't see what you're trying to do here. Tang is describing some aggressive Zerg play, doing his best to help lower league Zergs get easier wins in quick games. I honestly think playing aggressively and macro-intensive are both good ways to improve your game. I don't see what's wrong with Tang linking to his site from a guide. Sure, there are other ways for someone to learn about Zerg timings (e.g. watching Darkforce), but this doesn't mean that Tang shouldn't be allowed to write his own guide. It just seems like you are hating for the sake of hating, and trying to sell yourself as a superior "coach". But given how ridiculously BM you were to me when we played *in a custom*, I think you should grow up before coaching (and before spewing hate on TL)... | ||

You ever seen this ? http://www.z33k.com/starcraft2/coach/sc2coaching Ahem. Been doing it for almost 2 years now . People like Tang exist everywhere. Most are honest about it though, and don't have a labelled rank that they can't achieve. Check out acelessons.com before checking out the tang coaching site, 25 an hour for midish master level coaching in general is just not worth it. | ||

Edit: When I say "you" I'm referring to JediGamer, when I say "Tang" I'm referring to Tang, in case this is unclear. I see that you are indeed trying to do good (and Tang I believe is also trying to do good, but is really annoying in how he goes about it). That said, the one time I ran into you online, you were playing a custom on a smurf account, tried 4 gating me and failed, then proceeded to BM me as no one has BMed me before, so it was kind of hard to forget. I see you have a thread about "turning over a new leaf" here, although that thread didn't turn out too well for you (although hopefully you are actually following through on what you said in your OP there 3 months ago, it seems like outside of your SC2 rage you are a good guy and coach). Anyways, I still stand by my point that you are being too harsh on Tang -- it just seems like an attempt at "I am a more legitimate coach, Tang shouldn't even post at all". Tang has been in GM before, so I don't see a huge problem with prefixing his thread with "Grandmaster". | ||

Just means I need to work harder to prove myself, and I understand I can't make everyone happy at once but I do my best to provide content I think people will benefit from the most. | ||

Also, JDub, I consider it equally evil to try to advertise your coaching in this thread. Any thread entitled guide, especially one in the strategy section, shouldn't be here for the intent of profit (which is the main reason why I so strongly disapprove of Tang's obvious ploy to bring traffic to his website). | ||

I've made GM twice and I don't mention coaching in the thread, I write strategy guides and do lectures because I enjoy it and I think it'll help people improve. | ||

LoL. How can someone lie so many times in a row. This honestly reminds me of Incontrols chat with deezer about cheating almost verbatim scenario. Someone must be getting some of his money from this though usually TL closes stuff like this. | ||

Someone must be getting some of his money from this though usually TL closes stuff like this. I've never lied in any of my threads - thus, TL has not closed my threads. I think the majority of people realize what I'm trying to do for the community and support my efforts, and I know first hand that the threads have helped sc2 players improve. I don't say this as a personal attack, Jedi, but I think that even if you disagree with my posts,it would be much more beneficial to this forum if you spent your time providing the content you thought was helpful rather than insulting other people's efforts. | ||
