Well i must say the things being said about him dont give him an "appealing" nature.

Then i remembered that everyone loves Idra, and im left wondering why the hell everyone is hating on him and loving on idra. Seems to me that they are the (BM) twins of eachother no?

GL going to korea, and if this BM stuff is indeed true, dial it down a notch...

Over 60 registrations for the raffles so far, keep it going.

As for those who watched my stream and didn't enjoy my coaching, I know my coaching style isn't for everyone because I won't sugar coat things most of the time. But to say that I don't treat my students with respect is not true.

At the end of the day, getting coached is a fun way to improve but I am a blunt/strict person who only has your best interest in mind. I want you to succeed and I want you to get promoted. Think of me as your football coach, not as a hipster guitar teacher.

Disclaimer: I have nothing against hipsters or guitar players, I used to play guitar myself like a maniac for 4 years but I quit 4 years ago

Being rude and BM is not what a good coach does. I'm pretty sure a football coach won;t be rude and condescending to his/her own players.

When people say BM, do they mean he calls people gay and stuff? That's seriously so lame, are we all children who can't handle words being said to each other? I highly doubt he yells and screams ludicrous obscenities everytime he streams.

I'm pretty sure when most people on TL say someone is BM, is way way way overblown. People say Idra is BM and he literally insults people like he's in middle-school, which is more of a shot to people who are actually insulted by that rather than on Greg himself. I mean really, people on this website think it's rude to not type the letters "GG" or "GLHF" before a game? Really? How sensitive are we as a community where things CHILDREN don't even get offended by makes people here literally upset?

I think everyone should play one game on Xbox live so they can see what BM is REALLY like.

I have been watching desrow stream as often as i can. And i have to say that the BM is not even close to the ppl are making it sound to be, 99% of it is just trolling but i guess people are too overly emotional about comments over the INTERNET.

Agreed, Desrow's BM is more or less for the "show," and his coaching style is fairly hardcore, but people really enjoy it, but most importantly it works and its a fairly good use out of an hour because you learn fast.

Save your money guys...There are better skilled and more well-mannered Protoss players who would be willing to teach you for that amount of money.

To people giving DesRow all the pride for beating IdrA... like honestly beating a player better then you in a bo1 doesn't mean shit... try beating IdrA in a bo3 or bo5.

Do you really think skill and manner matters most to a coach...there are people who are naturally good teachers and desRow is one of them. 99% of people who get coaching aren't near the level where a top top tier player's knowledge would make any difference. If you're going to pay to hang around with a progamer for an hour and have fun, then that's another story, but trust me dude desRow knows how to help people improve.

Taking a game of IdrA isn't saying he's better, its saying that he's capable of playing at that level...he didn't win the Bo3, no-one's saying he's better, trying not to make assumptions here but you seem like an IdrA fanboy, you'd be insulting IdrA's skill if taking a game off him means nothing.

My session with desrow was super effective in helping me in my PvZ game and improving my macro all together. I highly suggest Desrow as a coach and I'll be back for future lessons.

wow that was so clever bro, insulting him based on his appearance. obviously his self esteem is far superior to yours, considering he posted many pictures and nobody knows in the slightest who you are or what you look like. go outside bro, you need fresh air.

I'm sorry but I do not want to get coached and basically be told how to do something when the coahc really doesn't know how to do it, and then get BMed to hell. My reasoning behind not getting coached, not worth it for free even imho. Not trying to be mean, just my opinion.

Not a fan of Desrow since he bm'd Trump when meeting him on ladder. Also for harassing NASL/Xeris and other known TLers in various threads. Oh well.

I've checked out the stream a few times and it seems like he just naturally speaks in a condescending manner even if he is not being directly BM or raging. Even if he does not mean it, it is not very pleasant to listen to, and probably not good for lessons so I would not recommend.

Good luck desrow <3 your stream, only have a couple of favorites in terms of who I watch play sc2, you're one of them

. Love your explanations of everything. Also to phantaxx, desrow doesn't speak in a condescending manner, he's actually a very nice person. You've probably caught him trolling in several occasions this is why you think this of him, he surely likes to troll at times or talks about people that are in his chat being tards and that's all well, but he is a mannered player.
