I found someone to help me with my game using this thread. So, for me it's been a big help.

You guys aren't annoying, it's just a little too overwhelming at this point . I'm happy that this is so popular, since one kid from bronze said my advice helped him very much on B.net it's just hard to keep track of everything and everyone. I wasn't expecting so many applications and subsequently wasn't prepared xD, but I'll try to help everyone that PMed me. Already answered 5-6 PMs and now all that is left is to talk strategy, give tips and play.

Other: Full time working professional, casual player, looking to play at nights and weekends EST. I'm up for 1v1 practices as well as 2v2 builds. I know the macro/micro basics, but cannot do both at the same time (usually one side gets completely ignored for a long period of time). Need help multitasking and perfecting build orders.

Other: I reeeally started to get into the beta and this is my first attempt at playing RTS past the "beat all of my friends that never play it" level. Mostly, I have real macro trouble past the first 10 or so minutes of the game, plus whenever I have to make a quick transition, or am being watched (see fucking MLG fight night stream =X) I freak out and make stupid little mistakes like supply blocking myself and forgetting to build units.

Contact: PM for contact info. I can use skype and email or other modes if more convenient.
Matchups: Any. I play random
Other: I have played several RTS games such as C&C and AOE, but have never played online. SC2 is the first RTS I have played online so I am largely inexperienced. I have improved slightly with the help of some friends, but I am looking for a high level player willing to help me out for free so that I may be able to take a shot at high level play myself. I am not very good but I am very willing to learn and usually learn very quickly. Please contact me if interested.

I like that this thread is seeing a lot more activity.

Please remember that coach's currently have very little incentive to PM trainees

If we get to 6 pages I will redo the thread in a more organized manner and attempt to get stickied in the strategy section. I've included my idea for a solution in the OP - if you have better ideas send them to me.

So this thread is largely useless? I kind of fail to understand, are you telling us we should pay them, harass them, or that there's just a super slim chance a post here will get us anything?

read the entire OP. Do you expect anonymous help to knock on your door?

Edit: I was advising trainees to actively look for a coach, as coaches will not actively look for them.
Sending one PM is not harrassing, as Latham noted above.

I have addressed all of the concerns voiced below in the OP. Conversation continued via PM.
