Should be obvious, most people have limited free time, and that time is valuable. And lessons can also be an additional source of income for some pro players.

He actually had free lessons for a while on his stream. He was getting quite a few requests too.

Not to sound like a dick, but if you liked teaching, why not free lessons instead of selling lessons?

i dont post often on this site, but i felt i should give credit where credit is due. cecil consistently gives good, usable information, while being respectful to people's opinions. i havent seen a bad post by him, which is something of a feat on this site. more power to him, any aspiring player should feel lucky to take lessons from him. most coaches give you the bare minimum in terms of simply trying to change your style, instead cecil adapts to you, while giving you helpful tips to add upon your prior knowledge, without making you feel like an asshat for not already knowing. support support support.

I dont know what post I am in the thread, but i'd love it if I were post number 100! I have a friend who could SERIOUSLY use some awesome lessons from a good protoss, and he'd get SUCH a kick out of you doing that for him!

Aside from that, I never watched your stream more than maybe once? but I love reading your posts in strategy, always interesting, teach me new ways on how to fight as a protoss and more importantly against them.

Keep doing what you do man!

Glad to see you talk about why there are the same old folks playing the same tournaments over and over. Everything you said is pretty much dead on, support the newer up and coming players if you want to give them that extra push. A pm on TL or just telling them that you enjoy watching their games on their stream chat can make a difference believe it or not.

Cecil you are the man, thanks for all the guides that you've done for the community and I hope you reach your goals to become a pro and breakout at a tournament.

I also forgot to say this, but Cecils guide to improvement, Day[9]'s blog post about the marginal advantage and reading Playing to Win by Serlin all helped me so much in improving my mindset to take losses easier and know what attitude you have to have to play at the highest of levels at any game.

Nexic nailed it.

Have you tried the Comcast Business Class? It's like $100 a month where I live, but auto-escalation to 2nd tier plus uncapped up & down makes it an extremely good value. If you're using it as a primary source of income it's possible you can write it off as a business expense ( I was able to for an unrelated-to-gaming activity, but I'm not an accountant :-P ).

To be honest, I'm in Illinois but Comcast is one of the fastest and most reliable services we have available. It's not that great as a residential service, but the business class service is top notch.
