Talk to me about eyestrain and eye training? Is looking at the minimap and resources often enough to train this, or do you suggest additional exercises?

I like your approach to teaching the game. People shouldn't develop skills until they realize the need for them. Why should people learn FE builds when they can't spend their resources on 1base? When they learn to macro well off 1base they will feel the need for more resources and thus are ready to learn a FE style.

Thanks everyone, and Hex, we'd love to have you on sometime. Diamond and up will probably not work well on the show, definitely not masters or grandmasters. (although I'm down to get some advice from such people) Gold leaguers are likely to gain a lot from this show.

Thinking on it, I did something like this with a friend I convinced to play. I had him do a 3 gate expand until he could keep his buildings moving perfectly. After that we just practiced macro for a while and he was Silver within a week. I have faith this program can work. I do, however, question the scale. There are obviously a metric ton of bottom league players, so reaching out to even just 10% is going to take a long time.

Hey m8, awesome initiative, and i'm speechless at that you quit your job for e-sports.

I'm a high-master player and coach, if you ever need someone to play or anything else you need just drop me a PM and I'll be glad!

Good luck with this!

What do you mean exactly by the scale? As in "there are a lot of them"? It will be difficult to reach them for sure, but I will do my best to get the word out. (reddit tends to hate me though)

you wont be able to reach the lowest bronze players simply because they don't even know community sites such as TL exist. thats the reason they are stuck in bronze, they are just very casual players who play a few games per week and don't care/know about the huge community and following of SC2

Then i will have to delve into the depths of the bronze ladder myself and let them know!

EDIT: My computer may have issues with the fan that is connected to the liquid cooling system for the CPU. I'm calling today to try and get it fixed, but if i am not streaming at 5pmPDT as i have been, it is because of this. Really shitty timing huh?

EDIT: ibuypower is shipping me a new fan, barely spent any time talking to tech support, they were super nice and efficient. Also, in the mean time it seems that there's no danger to my computer and I'll be continuing the show without missing a day! I am feeling so good right now. :D

Hi Jakatak,

I found your stream last week and even played a 4v4 with you and a couple of other viewers, that was huge fun. Over the last few days I have gone very heavy into level 1, playing about 50 or so matches on the ladder. I'd like to share my observations if you are interested. Before I do that, I must say there is a lot of curiosity/bewilderment/bemusement at what I am doing, are you okay if I direct people to you twitch account for more info?

Absofuckinglutely. Please spread the word, its hard to get the word out especially to the lower level players because often times they are stuck in bronze because they don't know about the sc2 scene or resources to help them improve. Give em all the info, and if you have the time and are inclined to, offer to help them out! Keep on paying that sc2 knowledge forward :D

Please do share your observations! What ideas do you have? What things have you been noticing?

I thought it would be ok, just wanted to give a courtesy check first. I have started passing along info, there is definitely some interest after people see what is going on. I have started to say at the start of game what I will be doing, and after, if I don't get bm'd (usually after a win) I msg the link. I have had a few thank yous so you may see some of them show up. Still putting together my observations and will post soon.

Thanks!

Cool cool man :D Looking forward to it.


TheCore, the new layout developed in conjunction with FoxyMayhem (creator of DarkGrid), is now released in beta! This layout goes far beyond anything I've ever seen in layouts, and improves on JaKaTaK Righty in every way.

It may see changes as this is our first pulic beta. If you're okay with that, and want to take your control to the next level and reduce wrist strain, dive in!

GL sir! if you need any help (and are on the NA server to boot) please contact me!

reikai.480 :D i really like this effort. I think moving the game into the casuals' hands is the only way to push it into the spotlight.

again, good luck
