Just an idea: I think it might be interestng to have the final winner have a match (maybe bo3/bo5) vs you in the end. Sort of like the best student vs master type of thing, although I don't know exactly how low/high the skill level is of the players you're teaching.
Good luck with the coaching.

That isn't a bad idea at all but for this tourney I think I will allow the students to combat.
And you can remove the "if you are going through with this" it has been in the planning stages for over 2 weeks hehe.. it is certainly happening!
The tourney will have some pretty high level matches if I might say so myself. I don't like to name names when it comes to my students but rest assured the quality will be high. Especially at the upper levels of the tourney.

Cool, now you'll have to edit yours to correct the edit I made in my first post.

+ Show Spoiler +what's that saying about you're a winner if you have fun?

Congrats on the progress of this endeavor. It would be interesting to see the improvement rate of the students, via iccup ranks, to get an idea on exactly how beneficial it is to the average student. Anyways, props on the work done so far.

absolutely, Time to go into uber practice mode!

Sounds like an awesome idea for a tournament.

Now I wish I had the money to be your student :D
Good luck to the participants!

What's the best way to play vs a 12 hatch when you open 12pool/12gas/12expo in ZvZ?
|
I have been following ur blogs and I am interested how much ur students actually students actually get better iccup rank wise. Lets say 20h amount of coaching will get u were, etc ? Compered to regular gaming.
I am not potential student I am just wondering. Customer reviews didnt really tell anything.

I suspect there will be some racial imbalance at the higher levels of this tournament :3

Isn't response gonna rape this?

Oh sweet POLYGONREVUE is cool he's done some awesome audio interviews with some top players for the TSL and other things. This should be fun... I wonder if more people will take lessons now just to be able to play in this.
such good marketing and stuff for this now. haha I love it.

When you get caught opening 12 pool vs 12 hatch you need to take a risk or two to equalize the openings. I will usually make a pair of zerglings or so to force them to think I am making more and then I will drone behind them. This is dangerous however because they will have more larvae available to them so you need to play it right and keep them on the defensive.
Some ways of doing this are: keeping the lings OUTSIDE making him think they might be a part of a larger group or at least wanting to counter. Additionally you will probably need a sunk and to switch over to lings at the natural if he goes heavy ling. Use drones in conjunction with said forces for defense when the time comes as you will most likely be a few behind. But sunk+positioning + workers SHOULD hold it off if you matched the lings enough. The idea here is that you force him to go ling heavy while you sneak a drone or two and equalize the economy.
The most important thing is to not panic though. Yes their opening is better but NO you are not dead yet. Try and get a drone in or two on them and rely on the distances between bases to make up the ling difference.
