I joined yesterday just in the proving grounds it was quite the day. I had a lot of fun with JehL and DragonVsSoul. It seriously is a good place to just find people to talk about the game in a good light that isn't toxic, that you can't find easily anywhere else lol.

I like how the admins are watching the chat they do keep you in line and I've learned a lot from the short conversations I had with them ( errm them correcting me on my viewpoint on the game which they were 100% correct LOL)

Will there be any transparency to the general public about the ideas discussed within this group? That way everyone can learn from the ideas discussed within the group, especially from the coaching staff. I imagine the goal is to improve the method of practicing, you don't have to be a part of the group to learn from the group, if you could just read some of the inside-information of the group.


Well by definition you need practice partners for this to work.

So you can't readily just hop on ladder and replicate these methods.

I'm not saying I would do that. However I am sure there are some things related to deliberate practice that are applicable in a more general sense.

This has been pretty awesome so far. Yesterday I:

-Practiced my PvT Oracle build vs a Terran practicing his mine opening.
-Practiced my PvZ Immortal/Zealot build against a Zerg going ling/Ultra
-Practiced my PvZ Phoenix build against the same player doing the same build

Got some good feedback from observers after all the games I played.

Overall it was a good experience.

Yea

Actually that was a hammer build opener. I generally pull that out as a one trick pony build. You defended the early game pressure flawlessly. GG DINO

I played a few TvZ which I'm going to do some hardcore practice in TvZ tonight. I have to agree with Dino so far the overall experience has just been awesome. It's just what Sc2 Needs a non-toxic environment to grow.

Yeah I got a little too cocky after holding off that first attack and killing your 3rd

GG man.

Edit-

Practicing all my PvZ builds against the same ling/ultra player was exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to get out of this by the way. Got the variables down to a minimum so that obs could give me the best possible feedback. Sometimes you try a build against someone and lose and then win the next game and think "well did I do it better or is he just bad?" You don't have this issue training against the same guy over and over.

Thanks all.

A new section has been added to the OP:



Meet The Coaches




Robert Yip - Strength and Conditioning, Performance Psychology, Structure and Regimentation





Brandon "Synastren" Bailey - Cognitive Science, Attention and Multi-tasking, Information Processing





There are currently 8 Coach Videos, they will be added 1 per day at 12:00 noon ET until the final video is released on June 30th that night we will have a special interview with Lycan where everyone can ask questions of the group and various coaches. (We'll try to get as many of the coaches on in the interview as possible, but we can't promise perfect attendance from all 9)

I was watching JaKaTaK's stream yesterday as he moderated and discussed the Proving Grounds skype chat.
We got to see the interactions, what was being said, and how the chat worked.

That was about as open and transparent as you can get, in my opinion.
I certainly learned a lot about how the group operates, what is expected of members, and what is discouraged.



All three races are OP. That's the fun of the game! See https://twitter.com/x5_Crescendo for SEA SC2 news and fanboy gleetweets

Should be saving the VOSs automatically, but I couldn't manage to find it either. Streaming more moderation and answering questions now: twitch.tv/jakataktv


Edit: The next coach introduction video is out!

I recommend more people try to practice in this way. I got a few games in yesterday practicing my standard PvT oracle opener against Terran factory openers. Very specific things I wanted to practice.
