TL.net Zergman Stream thread is here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=170893

Free Lessons

For those of you that are interested I am going to be restarting up my stream. I'm feeling better, but I don't want to take on too much too quickly so I'm revamping how I will be doing my stream. As far as my stream I am going to be doing free 1 hour lessons throughout the week starting tonight at 10pm Eastern. They should continue at that same time every night, though I reserve the right to cancel a night or move the time. First come first serve so show up at my stream if your interested. Post any questions you have for me here or message me online Zergman code 880. My stream is at ustream.tv/channel/zergman


Adopt A Noob Web Site
Currently I'm in the process of having a web page made for me so the process will flow much better for my stream and will have an "adopt a noob" section with added searching functionality. It should be way better than the current system.

haha adopt a noob... i assume you're from MLG? this thread made me nostalgic for shadowrun...

personally i feel like i'm good enough to figure things out on my own but not good enough to direct others too much. good luck regardless., i might pop in the stream if i notice it's up.

<3 Shadowrun community, The Adopt a Noob program kept it alive for a lot longer but it just could not sustain a large enough player pool.

Let's keep it on topic though, Adopt a Noob Programs have been adopted by several game communities on MLG after the succes shadowrun had with it, and it's just a generally badass idea.

I would love it if Idra adopted me! I went random, but zerg is still true at my heart. I went random so I know the counters better. Plus I like the pictures you get on the random and you can get all the other race pictures to. Random playing rocks!

Funny you should ask. The idea just came to me one day. I never watched an MLG before Dallas and I have no idea what Shadowrun is. Coincidently though I did a search for Adopt a Noob today on Google because I was curious if my thread would show up and I see all these references to Shadowrun so I was just thinking about this when I read your replay. As far as I know it was a completely original thought I had that coincidently has been done before, but I'm niave enough to think that I didn't see the title somewhere before and it creept into my subconscious.

Its already started. There are 493 people in it and there are another hundred or so we havn't updated in the spreadsheet from before we created the entry form. If you're a mentor you'll probably get messaged every so often as people see your name on the list.

it's not really a big deal, after some people did it for SR, which was supposed to be for generating attention to the game and helping the newbies overcome the skill gap so the community could get bigger, basically every game for MLG had an adopt a noob thread pop up trying it. this was like 2 years ago though or something so i doubt you'd have seen it if you only got into MLG this year. it's a good idea imo and as long as theres enough teachers i'm sure it'll help some people out, especially considering that some people are willing to pay for lessons.

I see a distinct lack of diamond players who signed up as a noob. Am I not allowed to sign up for noob if I'm diamond
What's that probe doing there? It's a scout. You mean one of those flying planes? No....
