I began watching Bulletproof's stream a week or so ago when he was a streamer with few followers- in fact, I remember quite well being the 50th follower on his stream; quite a milestone for him at the time. However he's currently growing at a rapid rate, at 135 followers already [as of this writing], many of whom tune in on a daily basis. His stream is professional and the content remains honest and informative. He's a mature individual and I would recommend a tune-in from anybody who enjoys a good game of high level StarCraft II.

However, on the the point of this post: I recently purchased 2 hours of lessons from James. This man, to be blunt: is a godsend.

Initially, I was a bit apprehensive about his scheduling, as I have a very tight schedule myself and it typically conflicts with most people's times however Bulletproof accommodated me perfectly, deviating from his schedule to allow me to participate, which was a very friendly gesture.
He himself is good natured, and easy to get along with, and has a very helpful personality and keen eye: he began picking my faults out immediately and let me know after the game exactly what I should work on. He was specific and accurate in his targeting of my core flaws, and gave me simple, easy-to-use solutions without being condescending. He also identified the smaller problems with my game, or his 'nitpicks,' which although aren't going to lose me games in my current league, would give me some tips at things to refine in the future, and I believe wholeheartedly that that is the key to a strong instructor: reacting and correcting, and preparing carefully for the future.

The lessons moved at a pace that was quick enough to encompass a great amount of material [learning two complete builds to near-exact precision, mid-game concepts, small fine-tuning of mechanics, identifying my strengths and weaknesses, learning the niche of Protoss [ie. abusing geography, different mindsets for different match-ups], and various other details that would bring my play to a whole new level.

And let me tell you, it goddamn did. I was a Platinum level Zerg, who switched to Protoss and had a broken grasp of the mechanics, faring poorly and even getting demoted after a few games: it put me on tilt and discouraged me from playing, since most of my opponents were top Gold and mid/top Platinum, my half-hold on the ideals of Protoss was losing me games. I was considering giving up. The two quick hours I spent with Bulletproof, working on my game, I've since laddered [as of this writing] several times, having an approximately 80% win-rate, whereas most of my opponents were in the top 16 of their respective platinum leagues, and I expect to see a promotion to Platinum, and soon after, Diamond league with my newfound knowledge.

The lessons are relatively inexpensive: $25/hour, $20/hour for more than one, so if you're a Protoss of any level with a few extra dollars to spare and a burning desire to achieve that next level of play: give this guy a try. It worked for me, it could work for you!

Awesome stream! When I can't play at work I tune in to the stream. I just got back into the game and I can say just watching Bullet's stream I have improved alot. In BW I used to be B level Protoss but that was years ago, its nerve racking to end up in such a low teir that and having to force myself to forget everything from SC1 lol.

I had a question if you don't mind my asking.

What build orders should every protoss know? Example, the bread and butter of protoss. Like the 1 gate robo, 3 gate expand, and the 4 gate builds.

Also, I have really great games at times. I am ranked silver at the moment but I can even beat platinum players on occasion. However there are times when I have major brain farts and forget even basic things. Do you have any tips on preventing cranial flatulence?

And btw thanks for the awesome stream and helping out the community the way you do. If I get to a higher level where its worth taking some lessons I will go to you for sure!

Let's just say it's not common with awesome players commenting their own play.

It sucks that I have to click the "Show non-featured streams" when I want to watch my favourite stream.

Always have a sense of direction for each match up..or as day 9 would say "always have a plan".

For each MU I'd say the most standard openings are:

PvP : 4 gate
PvZ: 3 gate expo
PvT: 3 gate expo/1 gate robo

Thank you for the awesome comment and watching my stream! Much appreciated!

Hello there! I have a question that hasn't really been answered by anyone as everyone has their own opinion. I was wondering which race is best to play if you like to build a huge army and expand a bunch I've heard that terran is good for this, but i am interested in your opinion. Thanks!

I feel sorry for all of the people who pass over this thread, because the quality of your stream surpasses any that I've seen before. I'm sure that if you keep having fun with what you are doing, you will eventually grow into not only a popular channel, but a better SC2 player, too.

And it's a shame that it's so hard to get the word out about something like a new stream, because I can guarantee you that if 5000 random SC2 players watched 5 minutes of your stream, you would have 5000 more followers.
