Jul 30th Announcement - Community Coaching Launched:

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen of Team Liquid! TangSC here from Team All-Inspiration and I'm excited to announce the launch of our team's pay-what-you-can coaching platform! For the past three years, I've coached and been coached in StarCraft II, witnessing from both sides the immense impact that coaching can have on a player's skill and motivation.I believe without reservation that everyone benefits from the attention and guidance of the right people, but not everyone has the funds to hire an experienced coach. Most coaches charge over 20$USD an hour, which for some students is impossible. Over the years, I've had quite a few people who couldn't afford coaching contact me and ask for help. I always answer their questions and push them towards a learning resource that I think would help them, but in terms of 1-on-1 coaching, I just didn't have the time to do it myself.A few months ago, I first had the idea of a community coaching project that does not set an hourly rate but instead relies on donations from students and viewers to compensate the coaches and spur project growth. I contacted several coaches to gauge their interest, and found many were hesitant to get involved in a project that does not guarantee a set hourly rate. This may sound selfish on the part of the coach, but it's understandable - coaching is a business and I was asking them to take a risk.Despite this minor set-back, we're going to fight tooth-and-nail to get this project under way, because we genuinely believe that we are providing a helpful service by promoting an effective and entertaining learning platform. I'm so thrilled to have the support of Team All-Inspiration, and several team members have already expressed their enthusiasm about the project and volunteered their time and expertise.I'd like to ask for your trust and support, TL, because without the support of the community we cannot reach the height of our potential.

Aug 13th Update - Community Coaching Progress:

The All-Inspiration Coaching Project has made leaps and bounds since we began a short time ago and I'm convinced that growth will soon explode. We've created professional, customized stream overlays for our coaches. We currently have 15 interested coaches, and some have already begun streaming tutorial videos, replay analysis, and even free 1-on-1 coaching - we already have 14 VODs! I'm certain that more and more coaches will sign-up, and the quantity and quality of our content will get better and better.We've received a thoroughly-positive response from the "AllThingsZerg" and "AllThingsProtoss" subreddits, and there has been no negative comments on any forums that we've posted on. Overall, the student feedback has been enormously positive.These strong results have us all optimistic about the future, but a few issues are temporarily holding us back from reaching our potential. Some of these issues are platform-related and are already being solved, others require your involvement. Here is the biggest current roadblock:At the moment, replays are submitted via email and it takes too long to connect students with coaches. We're also setting vague expectations for replay analysis, which affects the quality of our coaching and videos.To solve this, we are asking future students to submit 2-3 related replays (same matchup, same style) to make the analysis more focused. The replays should be uploaded to ggtracker.com, which makes downloading easier for our coaches (ggtracker also features game-statistics that can prove helpful).ALL replays and requests for coaching will be submitted on the forum of Team All-Inspiration _____________________________________________________________________________________________________
