Hey everyone,
As I'm sure you have heard or will hear on the podcast this week I'll be starting up some new scheduled coaching sessions for the guild! I've already been doing this informally and on an unscheduled basis for the guild for a while but this will be a more focused and, hopefully, more productive way to go about things! I'll be focusing on decision making primarily with focuses on acknowledging what's going right and what's going wrong in the game in question as well as general dota guidance.
The format for these is intended to be a 5 stack of DotP members with me as the 6th man coaching so that I can focus on you guys without having to play myself; this should make for a more productive coaching session compared to what usually happens now. I plan on having these on weekends (likely Saturday afternoons/evenings EST), however if you have a different schedule I'm sure we can work something out since my schedule isn't terribly restrictive outside of class and work.
If you'd like to sign up please add something in this thread or message me in-game (if you need to friend me I'm DotP.Ursi). If you have a focus add that as well (i.e. roles, heroes, certain issues you have regularly). I don't claim to be some amazing dota player but I'm sure everyone, myself included, can learn something from both coaching and being coached!
EDIT: due to the great amount of sing-ups I'll be doing (at least) 2 sessions this saturday which will make room for up to 10 people and people interested in role-specific coaching should be aware of prior sign-ups and the limits imposed by team comps (i.e. only 2 mids, 2 offlanes, 2 hard carries etc.) since, after all, we are trying to actually win these games!
