The vision of SC2 Noob School is to be a place where mid to low level players can learn the mechanics and techniques used by the best-of-the-best SC2 players. I think we all in the community can feel that Starcraft 2 is going to be the biggest thing to happen in E-Sports in a long time, and I hope to usher newcomers into the realm of competitive RTS with a comprehensive series of videos to first educate, and second entertain.
Well, I haven't updated this thread in a long while, but I guess it's about time.
My latest video focuses on the bane of all Zerg's existance ZvT on Lost Temple: The dreaded THOR DROP!
You people have no idea how difficult it was for me to sit and watch zergs get thor dropped for hours at a time. Honestly one of the most depressing things I've ever done....
Oh, and I'm gonna actually update the front page of this thread again--hooray!

Hang a sheet behind his chair? what is he chriscrocker? He's fine. Anyways, Trebis, keep going, your doing a great job easing in the beginning players into high level concepts that are fundamental to starcraft. Learning these fundamentals early on, properly, helps in the long run exponentially.
This would help a lot of players out. Like me, I was in Gold in the Beta. I knew most of the concepts, but I still didn't really know how to play well.
I feel like I'm 13 all over again have a webcam chat with a stranger. He is trying to present himself as an educator, and seeing his bedroom doesn't do him any favors.
The concept itself is fine and you are doing well in terms of SC2 content. I just disagree with the presentation of your face. I don't want to see your unmade bed and lack of wall decorations. Doing something simple like hanging up a sheet or a poster behind your head so it looks more professional would go a long way.
...ignore the haters man... youre doing a good job... youre room doesn't have to be fancy at all... you're here to educate noob players and thats it... posters nor decors doesn't help people to get better anyways!!! kudos to you my man!!!...

Dude what webcam chats were you having with strangers when you were 13?
Day9 doesn't give a crap and it doesn't make any difference at all. It's a project to help people within / new to the community not air on national TV.

...freakin kids...
Nobody is hating. He asked for feedback and I'm giving it to him. 'freakin kids'? How old are you man?
I turned on the video and the first thing I thought was 'Great, another person like Orb who broadcasts from their dorm room. Woop de do". As I previously posted, the content itself is GREAT, it's the presentation that bothers me.

Awesome video man.
It was 10-11 years ago and I chatted in Hotmail rooms (which led to MSN/webcam chats with 'strangers'). Nobody said I was the coolest kid on the block

truly useful post 2 minutes after thread was created, you bolt into the thread with quality constructive criticism; bravo
anyways, I really like this concept should help a lot of players looking for help when the game releases we'll soon see how many new gamers choose to dedicate themselves to starcraft in the coming years and they'll definitely need some early guidance to ease the learning curve
When the OP asks for feedback, and then someone gives their feedback, maybe you should leave it to the OP to interpret that feedback instead of 'bolting into the thread with your constructive criticism'. to the other posters.
He asked, I answered. The rest of you can eat dirt for all I care.
If Day9's room was that bland, and he had a webcam pointed at his bed, and had no posters on his walls (which, by the way, lend credence to the fact that he is a nerd talking about nerd shit in his nerd room. none of this is a bad thing, it just suits him.), then YES, I would totally comment about that.
I'm not complaining about anything. Obviously when you people read the word 'feedback' what you think he wants is endless pats on the back. I'm not knocking him or what he's doing, I'm offering my own opinion and 'feedback', just like he asked.
If you don't agree, that's fine, but why don't you stick to offering your feedback on his programming and not my opinions.
