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)

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. | ||

-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. | ||

![]() 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. ![]() | ||
