Hey TL,



I tried to set up a weekly



I met some really cool people but we didn't manage to establish a sustainable concept before we lost our passion in this regard :-( Also me having no suitable computer for good quality streaming was a big problem.



In turn I concentrated on focused practice for like 3 months using my little own tool



In the meantime, I got a new computer for nice stream quality and I have pondered more ideas on streaming. I finally made a realization how I could finally start to add something to this wonderful community and now I will just try that out:



I am still a terrible player (as anyone below at least mid-masters is in my honest opinion), but nevertheless, I can help out people from bronze to mid-platinum quite a bit!



And that’s what my stream will be about:



I will offer free live-coaching for every zerg (EU and US) from bronze to low diamond regularly once a week on sundays and stream that.



The coaching will be based on the primary needs of the individual of course.



For the lower leaguers, this most probably means: Basic game plan/strategy/opening and then mechanics, mechanics & mechanics.



I feel quite competent in this area and can probably help most low level players here. I have put a lot of thoughts& time into my own hotkey setup / macro cycles / way to do things most efficiently etc. in the past and would be glad to share the knowledge I earned with you and help you to increase your capacity to become better by attacking those most basic things first.



I heavily believe, that if you want to play in a certain way and up to a certain level, you can’t achieve that without the proper tools (mechanics) at hand.



So Injecting / using hotkeys / using control groups / spreading creep, how to do it mechanically, in what order to do things etc. will be a main focus in these coachings.



For players higher up the chain, I will add different fields for improvement: prioritizing actions / scouting& interpretation / map control / how to engage…all of that good stuff.



Of course, the higher the player’s level, the less “perfect” this coaching will be. I am, as stated above, a terrible diamond zerg with a lot of flaws in my own play. There is also an amount of knowledge about strategy & timings out there, that easily fills whole libraries but is unfortunately not present for me at all! So for high plat to diamond players, we will probably be learning from each other much more than me teaching stuff one-directional.But I think especially players around this skill level with quite underdeveloped mechanics could make for great content!



One of my ideas is, to have coachees on the show regurlaly, in order to discuss their experiences & progress in the meantime and deepening the skills learned or adding other elements of coaching based upon that.



I hope to attract viewers with the following:



- Learning basic things about how to get better from watching how mistakes of a similar skilled player are detected and approached in discussion with the student

- By having players on regurlaly, enjoy “stories to follow” rather than individual coaching sessions

- Lots of chat interaction with possibly polls if that makes sense

- The opportunity for every viewer to get on the call and discuss with me & others

- Connect to others & myself, widening our network of cool people who love Starcraft

- ….and a surprise element…let’s just say I have a very special Co-Host on the show :-) Contrary to myself, he is a very entertaining guy!



So let’s get down to business: If you would like to be coached, please shoot me a pm with your skype name or contact me directly there at “buddhibadugi”. We flesh out the details, time- and coaching-content-wise, then.



Please be aware of the following requirements, I would love to see in you:



- Be a nice & accessible person

- Be able to recognize that you most probably suck ass in this game

- Be able to laugh about that

- Be dedicated to suck far less ass in the future and eager to learn how to get there

- Be willing (if things work out well) to be a regular on the show all couple of weeks or so



Alternatively, if you are a player that thinks he might be able to help me becoming better, I’d be very interested in that as well, as I would love to make me being coached wednesday's content.



If you want to increase your chances of getting high on the list of people I will get back to first, please give me some background on yourself, your current skill level / the problems you have, what you want to improve upon, your history of playing SC or RTS games in general, what you love about Starcraft...basically everything that could help me to facilitate the tough selection process.



So guys…get back at me if you want to be coached and please…tune in, as it will be far better with viewers than without. And spread the word, if you like this idea pleeeease!!



The stream will start on Sunday, February 12th and from then on will be live every Sunday from 7pm CET(that’s 10 am PST, 1pm EST) to probably 9 or 10 pm CET. Extensions to at max midnight be happening, maybe doing more sessions on one day, maybe doing some team games with coachees...we'll just see what happens!



I will usually be streaming Wednesdays at the same time, but due to work constraints, I will have to move it to a Tuesday or Thursday in certain weeks. This will be announced in advance of course! Wednesday is not about coaching others though. If I get people to do that, I will be the coachee and you can either witness my own suckiness (and how to get over it) in that or while playing custom games or ladder. I will try to commentate while playing (although that's totally new for me) and definitely interact with the chat between games!



So GL HF everyone and I’ll hopefully see you on the stream!!



Yours,



BuddhiBadugi

#1 Coaching a silver'ish Zerg some ZvP

EDIT: First VOD of me coaching a silver'ish Zerg some ZvP is up...link below, feedback highly appreciated!!Hey TL,I tried to set up a weekly show a while ago and although the feedback I got was quite amazing, it never got beyond one actually-not-that-bad dry run, which made the whole thing even sadder!I met some really cool people but we didn't manage to establish a sustainable concept before we lost our passion in this regard :-( Also me having no suitable computer for good quality streaming was a big problem.In turn I concentrated on focused practice for like 3 months using my little own tool described here and managed to get from high gold in the middle of Season 4 to Diamond with the start of Season 5.In the meantime, I got a new computer for nice stream quality and I have pondered more ideas on streaming.
