Point? I'm also a dick in real life, and i also know one of the most cocky asses in the world, yet i get paid to teach people, and he gets paid to tutor people, and we both do pretty well at it. Since when does how a person act in one situation imply that they will always act like that. Hell go look at him when he casted the NASL, hands down one of the best casters i've ever seen, and acted entirely different from his classic BM. This thing looks interesting, but i feel like nearly 30 dollars a month is kind of steep for "lessons" at least on my budget. yeah ik ppl like idra charge some ungodly 300 dollars an hour or something but id rather just learn for myself. Best of luck to whoever tries it though. | ||

(then again I am no "pro"). Having a TL like forum is fun but,the thing that got me to put down that first month's pay to the site was the videos ! It looked really cool and I thought I would be exposed to constant upcoming strategies and pro tips. Now I am an understanding person, and there have been alot of events going on (MLG) so it is expected that the site isn't as active as it should/could be. That being said: the last Terran Tutorial was Sept 12. I guess... I never really gave the site a fair chance, I maybe have spent a total of six hours browsing it in the last month. So maybe the current content that is on there is already enough. Some of the tutorials they have on there are really cool. But I guess I joined for the wrong reasons and I'll be better off with a notepad and GSL in HQ. All in all, I am not going to give them a rating or anything, just going to say I will not be renewing my subscription anytime soon. | ||

I also concur HotKeyIt needs to hire some serious pros who can pull off their techniques on the Korean Ladder if they want to establish credibility. For example, I've seen enough pros like HuK, HongunPrime and SlayerS_Puzzle get stomped by the 1-1-1 using 10 different techniques, and others like NHSH_Sage, TSL_Killer and oGsMC BEAT it with FE+Blink Stalkers or Phoenix+DT. That said I have no reason to believe Classic's guide to stopping it with 3 gate variations even worth the watching, much less paying for. | ||

He talks about learning to use hotkeys, yet doesn't enable the hotkey tool tip in options, so you don't have to hover each button (Options - Gameplay - Display Command Hotkey Text). Obviously a big help for the average beginner. 2. He encourages to use the standard hotkey setup for your race, because some "competitive events" don't allow to change them? Can anyone name a tournament that does this? And compare it to those that allow it. At least mention grid too. Personally I feel a player that is conscious about his choice of hotkeys will evolve faster and play better. And then he changes the camera hotkeys.... 3. Teaches about camera hotkeys, but scrolls around using the mouse more than using the cameras. I expect more from someone that charges for that kind of service, and therefore I'm not impressed. 1. The tooltip is bad to use for learning. 2. I said that's one reason not to modify them, but the standard keys are also the best. The video isn't meant to show you every single possibility and the grid sucks IMO. Viewers asked this in the video thread and you can read the responses there. 3. The "camera hotkeys" are used for a specific task, not moving around the map in general. | ||

For both tactical and ergonomic reasons, I modified my hotkeys so they're all on the left-hand side of the keyboard, and it now feels more like playing a piano rather than typing on a computer with one hand. My APM also tripled as a result from being able to move my hands less and therefore more efficiently. But don't take my word for it - Tastosis have revently mentioned several times how they've been radically modifying their own hotkeys, even after 13 yrs of using BW's standard set-up. | ||

TLO uses grid Huk uses a custom setup Not being nitpicky but your reasons for grid sucks, or dont use custom set ups just seems like it is based on personal bias vice fact, and since this is the sample video you chose to show for my chosen race I can only assume the rest of the video's will be the same. The rest of the information given out in this video was given out by day9 6 months ago for free. It's a pass for me, but if the content improves dramatically I would consider signing up. | ||

Ad 1) Please explain why mouse-hovering is better than just glancing with your eyes? At least turn the option on for starters, then turn it off later for practice or make a quiz with a buddy or something. It's really useful for those things you seldom get (ie. Raven upgrades and the like). Ad 2) Please do explain why any key on the right side of the keyboard is better than on the left. Ie. the "Planetary upgrade" for CC on the "P" button as default. | ||

Yea, not to mention that it's not like we know IdrA is good at teaching anyone anything. Lineup is actually quite impressive - I recognize at least half the coaches and it's not like I know everyone playing every SC2 tournament out there. Demanding players of IdrA calliber as coaches is like demanding Jenson Button to teach you how to drive on a race track. | ||

First, it's great for a newbie, it starts normally then goes into something that average player may not know. There's some kind of impact behind every advise - which i like, it doesnt makes me want to just think "Meh, i'll do it later" and then you forget it, it's explained after advice. Though I would like to see more examples in all these advices, it's just best to tell you the consequences behind your wrong-doing, instead of saying blindly "Dont do it cause its bad DOT". Definitely liked some theory crafting, though not the bad kind of it, the talk about medivacs coming out from fow. Really liked not talking about bronze leagues or something but also talking about higher levls of play, not talking 30 minutes about one points, not getting me bored to death - thats a plus. Did i learned something ? Yes, i knew about these things, hotkeys, getting all things together to get a better control of your play but didnt knew how to put them into my game. Video gave practical information about how to actually do it in game. Thats best, videos of people doing thing and explaining are always better than reading about it. What i didnt liked was the hosting site or whatever it is. It's so slow, it stutters and its hard to navigate. | ||

Tripling your APM sounds like a huge exaggeration. Either you had horrendously low APM with the standard keys or you have ridiculously high APM now.
