Hello there! My name is SaharaDrac, and I am mildly well-known and even more mildly well-loved StarCraft commentator. Some of you may remember me from the WoL beta and first year or so of release, for such masterpieces as "SaharaDrac vs. A Drunk Protoss Player", my speech about StarCraft at Trondheim University in Norway, My TvZ 2 Port Banshee guide (which was mostly me dancing drunkenly to Zapp and Roger), or the time I belched during Day[9]'s launch event.



But enough about me. I'm happy to be here sharing with you a new kind of streaming show that I think will be very exciting and fun: Open Coaching! StarCraft coaching has been gaining popularity and prominence in the scene lately, with skilled players offering their tutelage for hourly rates. Granted, only those blessed with a lot of SC ambition or lot of cash can feasibly pay another nerd to tell them how to play better. If you’re seeking to improve your game with a coach, but aren’t quite ready to shell out the funds for it, then Open Coaching is the show for you!



I am a Diamond League Terran with a goal to attain Master League and beyond. Jackson “Soma” Dean (http://nerdupgrades.com/Soma/) is a Masters level coach of all three races, looking to turn my sloppy, slow, Diamond-soft game into a hard, intimidating Masters level steel clad fist. (Only in a game as tough as SC is Diamond considered “soft”!) He’s been playing StarCraft since he was 11 years old. The game and it’s surrounding scene has played a large role in his life and now it’s finally time for him to give back! He’s a highly rated coach and has experience in 1 on 1 and team coaching settings. There’s a very real chance he will make me cry on stream. I went 3-15 yesterday and came dangerously close.



I won’t be the only one getting the business, though. We will be pulling viewers from chat to get lessons, as well! Also, don’t fret, Zergs and Protossi, future shows will have coaching sessions on your races as well, not to mention guest coaches!







So, if you’ve been struggling in your league, want to know tips, strategies, and build orders, or want to see what a StarCraft coaching session is like, without having to pay, then tune in to Open Coaching” tomorrow, Friday, May 30, at 8 PM PST!
