Ill check out the videos later when i can listen to the audio. Is there a section on unit control without hotkeys? Like box precision and navigating with F keys? I can even imagine sections for building placement to stop things like hellion/ling runbys and making pockets with FF with each building, that be neat. | ||

I want to say i do like the idea of learning by video / getting a better understanding of the game. Do you guys think you can offer help to diamond/ low master players? When i look tru the video's on the site i see that for Terran ( i play T) you guys upload about 3 video's a month, are you planning to increase this number ? Most of the video's already on there are for more lower level players, also BO video's of 6 month old are not the most helpfull either since they are getting figgurd out, or a patch changed something. The hotkey video from skew is really helpfull but again for the more newer players. So im wondering you guys think you can offer me the info/ insight that is needed to make it into masters ? Sorry for my sloppy english | ||

Interesting logo, taking inspiration from Amazon I see.. from Bronze to GM! | ||

There is something that i am critical about though: -The video feels a bit rushed. Classic made a couple of important mistakes; for example when walking us through the transition from the 4 gate to a zealot Archon/DT build he said 'make a cybernetics core' when i assume he meant twilight council. It may have been more smooth if it had been edited to show build orders on the screen or something that allows easy access to learning the build, rather than having to listen to certain parts of the video to know when to place what building where. | ||

We don't only offer the videos to subscribers, we also take care of them on the forum with any questions they have, including analyzing their replays (and sometimes turning those into videos called 'leak finders [a term coined in the poker world]). If you make full use of the site then I'd say yes, you could definitely find help as a diamond/low master player. If you have the time/money, I'd suggest buying an hour of coaching from a player you enjoy watching and then buy a month on our site and compare the two. I'd love to see your thoughts afterwards. | ||

Yea but what guarantee is there that these guys are good teachers? There is no degree in Starcraft education. I don't want to be the negative Nancy but why should anyone pay 30$/month (which is expensive for a college student like me) when I can watch unlimited hours of free streams of Players like idra, tlo, dragon, etc... And honestly there are streamers who commentate alot during casts, you just have to look for them. For example, nahmcir. Also, alot of the time you Pay for lessons it is to get advice on mechanical skills, a video just isn't the same. | ||

Im sure a lot of people would agree that a couple Hours with Idra would be more helpful than a month of random "barley making it" pros that have never won a major event within their career. Even adding 1 or 2 More known pros with better results would probably increase membership 3fold. Good luck nonetheless! You got a point, but last time I checked IdrA charged 300$/hour, so it's maybe better, but still... + Show Spoiler + HOLY SHIT THATS ALOT OF MOTHERFUCKING MONEY FOR AN HOUR OF COACHING | ||

Not an enough amount imo to get a subscription I'm pretty sure you get access to a lot more than that many. There's also more and more videos to come. | ||

I think coaching and playing are different skills. Besides, imagine a coaching session with idra: Idra: Thanks for the $300 dollars. You: Sure, I'm really excited to be here. So, what did you think of the replay I sent you. Idra: Basically, I think you're the worst player I've ever seen. Just terrible. I mean really, really bad. You: What should I do to get better? Idra: Get better? You're terrible. Everything you do is bad. Your macro is bad, your micro is bad. Everything. The only chance you have to win is if your opponent disconnects. Your best bet is to just put up extractors everywhere and hope for a disconnect. You: I wouldn't do that. Idra: I wouldn't either, but then I'm not as terrible as you. You: But I want to improve! Idra: Improve? You can't improve, you are awful. You've lost already. Just quit, leave the game. In fact, I can feel myself getting worse just by talking to you. >> Idra disconnects | ||
