I'd be willing to help some silver/bronze/copper EU zerg for free.
Talk strategy, watch reps and give tips. Play 1v1 to help them improve.
My main is Z, but I'm probably capable of rolling silver leaguers with an offrace.
I have TS/Xfire but I rarely use it, because I find it quite awkward to talk to strangers online using those kind of programs in English. I prefer just typing it all out.

PM me on TL if you do 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.



I agree, i guess that most people here a looking for trainers.
At least, so am i.

Thanks.
Got that.

Other: Im not new to RTS im just rusty as hell i havent touched an rts game since when WoW was originally released back in '04. Im looking for someone who is willing to help me out to improve my game, i have friends who are in plat but they are hardly ever not busy so they can never really sit and talk much. I need to learn the pure mechanics of the game as well how to scout properly while still being able to macro back on main base.

You should search the thread for people looking to help someone at your skill level.
How likely do you think it is that this person will be PMing someone they do not know to give help?

You had the least organized listing too :-\.

Ideally you'd ask for fee in exchange for your time. The people who want your help the most will pay, and the rest will search for a slightly less suitable but cheaper (free) trainer, and so on.

My guess is that you got many PM's because there are limited euro trainers and you specifically posted free lessons.

This is not ideal - i think there are many people willing to help who haven't received any pm's.
