I get the feeling people aren't really communicating. Who has found what they're looking for from this thread?

If this isn't working, i have one other ideas for organization before I give up.

I trained with BULLDOZERRR and it was really helpful, this thread is hands down one of the best ideas ever.

Other: I'm in no sense of the word good at sc2 but I have the basic abilities of a good starcraft player (i.e logical build construction, micro, macro, sense). I hate seeing all these people in copper who don't really understand the fundamentals. For anyone interested I'd be willing to watch your replays with you and correct fundamentals.

Other: I've played Zerg and Protoss up to at least 1700 and Terran from 1700 on. I can go over replays with you or just play some games and critique as we go. My protoss matchups are probably the weakest but I still have a decent grasp of the race. I usually just make up my own builds so I can help you work on transitions and followups for your self made builds if you want.

Problems and solutions for thread
Communication in this thread is not working as well as I'd hoped. I've only gotten 4 PM's and I have the benefit of having my information in the OP.

Why is the Practice partner thread working out so well and this thread isn't? It's clear there are a lot people who'd like to find coaching and a lot of people who'd be willing to coach given some sort of compensation. We saw the latter from the response to iNcontrol's training camp thread.

Why I think it's not working
+ Show Spoiler +

It doesn't make very much sense why a coach would actively look for someone to coach, given that there is no listed compensation. Likely everyone assumes that nobody is willing to pay anything.

Beginners likely expect that coaches will demand an exorbitant fee. All of the recent argument about how "nobody should pay for help with a video game" probably didn't help.

The result is that nobody talks to each other when in fact there are probably many coaches willing to help for little to no compensation and many beginners who desperately want help.

The fact that the thread usually isn't at the top of the forum page makes it harder for people to find the information.


My proposed solution
+ Show Spoiler +

I'm trying to create a system where anyone who wants coaching (whether or not they are willing to pay) can find the person who is able and willing to coach, given that this coach exists on TL.

I'd like to create a new (better organized) thread, with only coaches posting their information. They will post their fee, which will be a proxy for their opportunity cost. Being able to compare their fees with other coaches will ensure that the fees are a good proxy.

Beginners looking for help will be able to search the thread for a coach they like.

This should solve communication issues. If a mod is willing to sticky the thread in the strategy section, it would work the same as the practice partner thread.


Please review and discuss. I don't know if my suspicions are correct or if I'm wasting people's time.
