I know there is a WoL Free Coaching Thread. So let's bring it to HOTS... of course it's just currently the BETA but hey it doesn't hurt to help someone early on or get some helping. It's primarily follow the same format as the WoL thread. Scroll down a bit and copy and paste the template into the message and follow the directions it'll make it easier for everyone. Not everything will be answered at this time considering it's just the BETA. I will maintain this thread and make spoilers for each server. So that finding a coach will become much easier to navigate than the WoL thread. It'll be in chronological order!

If you're looking to be coach, you have to be proactive about it. Sitting back and saying "ohh boy i'll let the coach contact me", isn't going to find you a coach. Look through the thread and PM one of them and go from there. This should clear up any confusion about this. If you feel that your coach was amazing drop me a PM explain why he is so good and i'll stick him in the Great Coaches section for more to see :}

Zerg HotS Student
Name.Character Code: 조병세.791
Race: Zerg
League: Low Diamond
What you are hoping to achieve: High Diamond/Master
Time you're free to learn: minimum 7-11PM CET every day, frequently earlier/longer, especially on weekends
Brief description about you: 24-year old college student, played Terran for a long time (WoL Diamond level), switched to Zerg at the end of WoL. I ladder about 6-7 games a day (all I can do as a computer science student) and I really wanna push towards Master league! I'm German (in fact, I have a Youtube channel where I do German commentaries of SCII games) but I do have a Bachelor Degree in English and am very fluent speaking the language! I like to think I am a friendly and easy-going person, so coaching me should be easy and fun haha! Optimally, I'm looking for a friendly Master league coach that is able to coach through Skype in English (or German even)!
Shoot me a PM here on Team Liquid or ingame if you are interested in coaching me. Thanks!
Thanks for setting up a dedicated HotS free coaching thread.

Server: Beta
Race: Protoss
League: Diamond
What you are hoping to achieve: High master / GM
Time you're free to learn: 16-24 CET every weekday, sometimes longer, a few days a week I'll have to go around 19-20 CET for an hour or 2
Brief description about you: Hi! I'm a diamond protoss player from Denmark. I study in what is probably equal to late high school, and I'm 17 years old. I have aspirations about becoming a pro, but I know I've got a long way to go, so I'm not rating myself too highly in that regard  I speak fluent english / danish. SC2, I've played the game since christmas 2010, where I started out as a bronze player. I began as terran, switched to zerg, then to protoss, back to zerg, then back to terran, then back to protoss again ^^ Currently I play all 3 races at roughly diamond level. I like toss the best, though. Optimally I'd like to find someone who can coach me over skype / TS for X amount of time regularly. I can't wait to get started 
(Optional) WoL League: Diamond

Time you're free to learn: 24/7
Brief description about you: I am 22 and a very dedicated player. I have not been playing Starcraft 2 for long but I want to improve in the best way possible without picking up bad habits.

Coach
Name.Character Code: Yourself.334 (I think this is correct will double check)
Race: Zerg
League:Masters (currently plat, was playing random)
Experience coaching If any: Mostly just answering questions of those that ask. Have walked through replays with a few gold-ish players as well as teaching my brother how to play TvZ in WoL
Range of players willing to coach: Any Preferably Zerg and I'd prefer if you came to me with a matchup in mind. I also don't like discussing Team "strategy" simply because I don't play them much (you'd be surprised how much people want this)
Time you're free to coach: M-F 6-10 PM CST Weekends -ask for any time (I'm flexible if you are)
Brief description about you: I'm a recent college grad doing Application Development and Support at a financial institution. I'm a big outdoorsman.
On a side note I'd like to get just a few DEDICATED people to coach. Its very underwhelming to give some strategy advice and then never have a follow up session. Also it would be great if you had a few practice partners of similar skill level, its really hard for me to find them on the spot. I do have skype. PM me.

Brief Description about me: I own a YouTube channel called BargilStarcraft and am looking to be better at HotS to provide better content and become a better player myself. I am a huge RTS and SC2 fan and have been following the scene for about 2 years.

Race: Terran
League: Bronze
Goals: just to become better, I have no concrete goal as far as ranking is concerned because IM not sure how that will pan out in HoTS yet.
Time available: Tuesday and Thursday nights probably about 8PM eastern, but kind of random due to School/work schedule.
About myself: I used to play Protoss because White-Ra was the First player I followed. I then tried out terran and liked the "feel" of it . I'd Love to get better at this game, because it's painful to suck at something you're passionate about.

League : Not yet placed in HOTS, high Gold in WoL last season

Brief description about you: Played BW for several years, but not competitively, played WOL for first season of release, and then last 2 seasons. I currently have a fantastic coach in TangSC, but I fear that affordability might become a problem in the near future (his lessons are well priced, but I'm starting to go broke), and I don't think I'm good enough to get anywhere yet without guidance from a better player.
PM me or add me on Skype michael_gaap if you are able to help.
