Carmac even showed some BM towards Rotti, totally useless aswell, because the coaching is the essence of the show, right? I understand that its hard to talk, listen and play at the same time, but it really looked like the guys didnt even prepare anything and just started playing. if u want to start from NOTHING (like miniwheat is doing) get someone who has never heard about the game and really teach him from the start. even though carmac apparently doesnt even knows the hotkeys and basic mechanics of the game, he still pretends to have some knowledge which is very annoying aswell. I'll propably watch it once more, but if you dont manage to improve drastically (or atleast add some entertainment value- maybe in the form of joe trying to do some 'pro commentating' while rotti is seperately coaching carmac without the audience hearing about it) im not going to watch the show any longer. I watched it but it became a bit painful around halfway. The above sums up exactly how I feel. I do however, would like to place emphasize on the following point. That is the way the coaching gets approached. Which is the fundament of the show. It needs to have structure, it needs to follow almost a set up plan. You cannot just wing it and given the fact an episode runs for roughly 60 minutes, an inactive part is almost unacceptable. I would like to suggest screening the replays before hand, you can agree on something to execute, and then during the show you can play, with kevin can constantly spamming suggestions and things for you do. And again, I feel it's very important in learning to shed out as much as possible, to make it less complex and gives more overview so you can focus on very specific points. In terms of approaching this there needs to be some basic things to start with and build it up every week, you can practice exactly those things at home. With the disorganisation in this episode, I can see too many random suggestions that come from 100 different sides at once, turn it into something non productive. Write up some points, maybe have a look at some of MrBitters coaching vods or similar ones for some ideas. These are purely suggestions, I hope I don't come off strong, I just really want to enjoy this show and will be tuning in again next week because I feel the concept has a lot of untapped potential. Again, goodluck carmac. | ||

You'll be a master in no time :X No seriously, very good of you to practice the basics on your own. Should make the show much more entertaining. | ||

Also, unlike quite a substantial number of people in this thread I do not consider this show to be a coaching show. It is simply an entertainment show and not a bad one as well. Both hosts are easily likeable which is very important. Looking forward to episode 2. | ||

Carmac was some hot shot UT player in Poland. Thus has a big e-penis. Forgive him he's awesome otherwise to know. Rotti was just hilarious with comments like protoss macro master, are you serious? I agree with him keeping quiet but that's because Carmac requested it. I would definitely say he should talk more add in more comments and also explain about the typical problems players face when moving up leagues. Carmac's gold level already. FROM FREAKING BRONZE. I'd definitely like to know the insights. | ||

By the way, does anyone else feel awkward calling Rotterdam Rotterdam, somehow it's odd for me to call a person a city. | ||
