Sup guys
This is Marc-Olivier "desRow" Proulx from VTGaming.net. I've been coaching for a while and I thought buying a Sponsored Thread would be a good way for me to give back to TL as well as advertise my services.
About me:
I've been playing RTS on and off for about 8 years now. I played Brood War but Since I was very young back then, I was doing BGH's more than anything. After that I played Warcraft 3 and got myself to a pretty decent level and even qualified for the WCG national finals for Canada with a undefeated record. I got tired of Warcraft 3 due to the luck factor and the slow pace of the game. As for Starcraft 2, I started playing 1 month after release and I've been doing pretty well for myself ever since qualifying for the EG MSI master cup series in December even tho I was a very cheesy player back then. I've been playing more solid and standard as of late.
The main race I coach is Protoss but I'm also comfortable coaching Terran and Zerg. Any skill level is welcome as my knowledge of the other match ups are advanced. My first sessions with new students are often similar. I ask you to send me a replay or two so I can patch the holes in your game play. After that, we'll go to live coaching unless you have requests and want to study many build orders and/or micro/macro situations. I've had over 80 hours of experience so far and all my customers/student were satisfied.

When looking for a coach I took into consideration a lot of factors. There are a lot of Starcraft2 players who offer coaching. Like a few selected professionals, desRow has a high aptitude and understanding of the play mechanics of Starcraft 2 but, desRow also has something more. He brings his wonderful playful attitude and his strong drive to improve to every lesson. desRow’s swagger is infectious. When you take lessons from him, like I and others have, you will understand that desRow truly cares about his students and, He is rooting for everyone of them to improve.
desRow’s combination of vocal instructions with his watchful eyes notices my flaws and allows me to maximize my practice sessions.This leads to accelerated performance and faster progress. Every session with desRow has been exciting as well as informative leaving me with new tips and skills to practice. I believe anyone who is looking to seriously improve their Starcraft 2 gameplay should get a coach. Learning at the hands of a master like desRow gives you the unique opportunity to absorb the tiny details.The details that are learned and battle tested through countless hours of gameplay and tournament experience. desRow’s perfect package of knowledge and personality is the reason I chose him and, the reason I continue to learn from him.

Here's one from one of my Zerg students:

I was amazed by how much I got out of my first session with Desrow. We went over a couple of replays and even did a live coaching session. The knowledge and professionalism Desrow has is reason enough to continue being coached by him.
In one hour I learned tips and tricks I had never heard of or read on the forums before. If I sound like a fan boy, it’s because I just became one. Seriously, I was blown away by how much I learned in one hour.
It was worth every penny. This guy is an amazing player and a great person. I immediately scheduled a two hour session and will continue to do so on a weekly basis. It helped SO MUCH! :D
