In my opinion, if you want to improve your play as protoss, watch Bullet.

The guy streams daily, talks through his play, and answers fan questions between every game. I have nothing but respect for someone who spends their time doing what they love, and helping others in the process.

He is not a grandmaster.
He is not a big tournament name.
He is not a featured stream.

What he is, is a kind hearted person who loves to play starcraft, and loves to share his passion with others. People who are passionate about what they do always make the best teachers. He is always striving to better himself, and listens to others in chat, whether they be grandmasters or bronze players. That level of respect is something that is often lacking in the starcraft community.

So if you are a protoss player looking to improve your game, watch Bullet. Ask him questions. He will answer you. If you have "bad" ideas, he will be honest with you, and help you to improve.

If you are already a viewer, click follow. He spends a lot of his time streaming, and clicking the follow button is the best way you can give back. If you already clicked follow, tell your friends about the stream!

Until today, I was a frequent stream viewer and team liquid viewer, but had never signed up. I signed up today because Bullet has helped me through his stream, and I wanted to give back. If you are like me, an frequent observer but rarely participating, I encourage you to do the same. If you get benefit from any stream, click follow, the streamer will appreciate it.

My 2 cents of advice for Bullet:
Drop the single g at the end of some games. Remember, that whatever your differences, the player on the other end is just like you, trying to have fun and improve. Everyone deserves your fullest respect, regardless of how they choose to play.

My 2 cents for Team Liquid:
You may wish to reconsider your criteria for giving someone a featured stream. People like Bullet are out there, providing great streaming and struggling to increase their viewership. I know that his stream is a part of what brings me back to your site on a nearly daily basis, and helping others to discover it could only help to improve your site.

I really love this stream!!
Bullet is a great player and a great coach. If you can't afford lessons, you get them for free just by tuning into his stream. Sure, he's not basing the information on YOU, but on the person he's coaching, but you still get a lot of useful information!

Most people who do this kind of streaming tend to be from the US, which usually means that people like me (from the EU) won't be up to watch, when the streams are live.
I don't have this problem while watching bullet, as he usually begins at 2 pm which is about 8 pm for me. So I don't have to stay up till 4 am or something silly like that, like I do if I want to watch Day9 live.

Bullet just seems like a really nice guy, who loves the game. He loves sharing it with other people, and he takes his time answering questions, which again means that you can get a lot of really good information!

Sure, he rages a tiny bit from time to time... But that shows that he's human! He's like the rest of us. And from time to time, that leads to him analysing a game which he lost, which again gives you more information! what more can you ask for?!

The only bad thing is that I barely get to play now, as I spend all my time watching his stream! <3

Keep it up bullet! We love you! <3

i voted for webcam. But i think playing with viewers would be nice. I know you play to ladder and stuff, but maybe every so many games, or even just as the last game of a session if you picked someone randomly from chat to play maybe a 2v2 or just a 1v1 for fun or something that might be nice.

Or, asking what what stratergy do we wanna see? and then people can ask for certain builds like a SG opening or something. But from a mods point of view its pretty awesome, you always talking and taking loads of questions from chat is spot on

This stream is super helpful/awesome

bullet is helpful and answers questions every time he's done streaming.. explains what he's doing while he's doing it... ALWAYS reads chat even in b/w games.

Complete WIN!

If you're a P player regardless of lvl trying to get better... check it out scrubs.

As a fair warning this post will be a TLDR.

I watch a crap ton of rts. I've been actively watching since wc3(my buds). Rts's have never been my cup of tea though. Love watching...never really played. My buddies got hooked to SC, but it wasn't until watching SC2 beta and beyond I felt compelled to try this genre. I'm usually an exclusive FPS player. I didn't buy and try the game until June this year...back story is boring I hope you skimmed through.

Only recently have I felt compelled to actually play. Currently my brain is filled with knowledge that I can not use. I've watched the best of the best streamers. I see what they do as they do it. For the most part it works. I can't imitate (emulate?) it in the slightest. When bullet casts he often says what he's doing as he does it....like a lot of casters...but at times he also verbally paints a picture of his intentions...FLUENTLY.

This being my first post, I know (from the prior posts) this makes me suspect. One gent pointed out that Bullet sometimes has rage for builds. Holy hell...BACK TO HELL WITH YOU BULLET DEMON. That...or name one person who streams and never griped about a unit...a build...a match...I couldn't name one.

My only gripe is that I did get banned from his channel. This was prior to his Mod cleaning apparently. I ASKED if I could link something. I got 15 minute timeout for asking. I became a dick after my 15 minute timeout for asking...I got banned.

That aside I can't express enough how different Bullet is from other casters. Bullet and others have shown me what I might be at my best. What sets Bullet aside is his external and internal evaluation...somehow the audience gets both as one. Rarely do you hear a streamer talk about their personal failures in detail. That intellect is always pointed at others. Bullet being the exception.

+ Show Spoiler +

STOP REPLYING TO FUCKING TROLLS
I highly doubt you actually think what they're saying is funny. If you do, you're still being a dick yourself because you're giving them basically a month's worth of food, which acts as fuel for them to troll other people. You've probably heard this thousands of fucking times, that's because it's true and for some reason you and so many other people don't realize it.

You say you're not giving a reaction, the fact that you read their names and comments and give them any attention whatsoever is what they want as a reaction. If you want to have any chance of not getting trolled on a huge scale in the future stop acknowledging their existence, right now you're only inviting more.
