Lucoda's Coaching Corner is a place where all Zergs could learn more about playing Starcraft. Lucoda records coaching sessions with students where he will explain in great detail the builds he uses on ladder as well as builds he feels would be suited to the specific student. Any player from Bronze to Masters could learn something by watching Lucoda explain his mindset!



[image loading]

(ZvP) - Mutalisk Tips (Transitioning from Roach Hydra Viper) - (Episode 4)
Lucoda reviews his Roach Hydra Viper strategy at the request of Lottery Winner SoundWave, who claims to hit the timings about two minutes late. Lucoda explains why timings are unimportant when using this composition, and why having the correct tech is. This video will go into great detail regarding Mutalisks, how to get them from a solid roach hydralisk viper, and how to use them to high efficacy when you have them.

Please enjoy on YouTube!

For anyone who wants to see the original build before reviewing this, click here.

(ZvP) - Establish Map Presence - (Episode 3)
Lucoda teaches SoundWave, winner of our coaching lottery, about both FFE and Gateway-first openers and how important it is to establish a solid map presence heading into the mid-game.

Please enjoy on YouTube!

(ZvZ) - Snute's Gasless Roach Opener - (Episode 2)
With the exception of a few maps, this opener is an amazing economic way to get an advantage over your opponent. By delaying your gas, Lucoda will explain how you can produce more drones and hit a much earlier timing in ZvZ by skipping Metabolic Boost and Banelings!

Please enjoy on YouTube!

(ZvT) - Lucoda's Macro Opener (Anti-Mech Edition) - (Episode 1)
Lucoda shares his favorite ZvT opener. This is a very flexible opener that plays strongly against mech or bio, but the contents of this video will focus more heavily on tactics against mech. There is a bit of time dedicated to Bio, but most of the questions and actions exampled here focus on mech.

Please enjoy on YouTube!

Pretty cool man to see this, I like the format of showcasing you teaching people and streaming that, rather than doing a solocast of these guides. Think it adds something where you have real-time feedback and fills in some potential gaps.

Hey everyone, Lucoda here! I'm glad you are as excited for this as I am! If you are interested in the coaching feel free to PM the OP about it and he can send you onto me. Unfortunately I won't be doing free coaching as I simply don't have the time for it. If you are interested you can pay five euro for the first hour and then ten euro for every hour after the first.

I also do Twitter competitions every few weeks where a follower will get a chance to win one hour free coaching by retweeting a certain tweet. I hope you will find these videos helpful to you and if you have any questions at all feel free to give a post here!

Good Luck!

Okay guys, thanks for your interest in coming on the show. We've decided to perform a lottery between the folks who showed an interest at this point in time. I will perform & record the drawing tomorrow, it should be uploaded at a random time on Monday, April 21 (UTC -5:00) on my YouTube channel. The link is http://youtube.com/MisusedShaft. Please ensure you have a working microphone, as this will be used as Episode 3 of this series Best of luck to all entrants!

I assume most people know who Lucoda is. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/User:LucoxP He's a headliner name from the former LYGF. BTW, reverse ad hominem is still a fallacy; let the advice speak for itself. I'll see if Lucoda wants to put up a more specific bio for this but in the end, the information matters more than the person sharing it.

You're in luck. It's a different series we produce, but Lucoda covered ZvP that doesn't end in SH in our very first work together (what inspired this series):

Alright so I have still not heard from the winner of the lottery. If I haven't heard word by the time I go in to work tomorrow, I'll be performing another drawing. Stay tuned. Episode 3 is right around the corner
