I think the way rotterdam is teaching carmac is fine, it just seems that carmac doesn't have the apm & mechanics to do everything that rotterdam says!

I don't think that Rotterdam is teaching Carmac the right way. Jumping between bases and scouting isn't really important in the gold league. He should give Carmac 1 safe build against each race (e.g. Robo build to be able to defend against DTs and Banshees) and the only thing Carmac should focus on is macro. It's by far the most important thing to learn in sc2.

some tips for rotterdam:
- focus more on probe production
- gold league players should always build more gateways than master league players to keep their money low
- please no cute stuff like harassing with 2 stalker. It hurts so much more than it benefits carmac, because he doesn't do anything else in that time.

If carmac focuses only on macro, defends everything and only attacks at 200/200 he will be a diamond player. I know that, I've taught my brother like that and he started to micro his units at the time he was in diamond.


Very good suggestions. Also laddering is probably not the best way to teach these things, get a decent player to play customs on a specific map in one matchup per week.

Also MrBitter's way is the one i personally think is the best. The pro (Rotti) plays 1 or 2 games against the guy to show what he wants carmac to do and takes him through is thought process, if possible he can even answer Carmac's questions during the game. Afterwards he can try himself. That way teaching is way more specific and Carmac will be able to get a much deeper understanding into WHY he does certain things in a situation.

Besides that, i find both Rotti and Carmac hilarious and soo likeable, i would probably watch anything they do. Keep up the show, this will also motivate many people to try to improve as well.

Exactly, so you try to get down one basic mechanic at a time. Very early harass was overdoing it. Once muscle memory for good macro kicks in you can work on the finer points.

You did much better this week compared to last week.

Watch day9 daily #252. Lots of stuff there you can learn from.

I saw the first episode today. It was really fun to watch. I am quite looking forward to the next episode to be out as a VOD. Glad to hear you made it to gold league Carmack. Day 9 has mentioned how hard it is to talk and play at the same time.

i think its counterproductive if Rotti tries to teach you things in a running game. He should commentate and point out mistakes for the viewers and let you play without distraction. And then analyze the replay, where Rotti shows you mistakes, asks you why you are doing certain things etc.

I really enjoyed the first episode and can't wait for the VOD for the 2nd ep. Being in bronze and working my way up myself, I find these types of resources great. I noticed in the first episode that carmac clicks everything. I would hope hot keys and tapping are big part of episode 2. It would probably have the most immediate impact on his play. I know it did for me.

@Carmac
I just enjoyed the second episode. I can already see you are playing better. These are a couple thoughts I had about your play in the games.

In the PvT game on Steppes of War right after you got dropped and lost tons of probes. I think you should have tried to attack him. Your econ was so damaged that your opponent was sure to be further ahead of you in five minutes because he was just mining the whole time and lost 0 workers.

Also on the PvT on close positions on Metalopolis. It was really bad to attack with your 3 imortals a 5 zealots. You had just spent a ton of money on your expansion and had not yet made the money back so your army was sure to be smaller than your opponent.

Hey guys, VOD link is added to the OP.

Also: thanks for the feedback. Everything you guys write here as advice is very highly appreciated. I do want to become a much better player than now and I am slowly getting there.
