If you have any ideas how to make this tournament more awesome then tell me. You can use this thread to find your player/coach. You can also ask me for coaching but remember that i will be a little bit busy with the tournament.

How about players who are <1200 1v1 rating but 1800+ global (styr, gala etc)? Maybe there should be minimum 20 games played on ladder or something

E: Or the other way around, I'm sure there's people who play only ladder.

I'd love to play this but I'm GMT+10 and I can't play on a Monday morning as I have work - can this be done on a GMT+0 Saturday night? (And maybe an hour later so I can wake up at 6am instead of 5? )

I Suppose he will have to have : infinite patience and Jedi mind skills.....
Are there any trainer volunteers???

- the coach is allowed to join the game as a player but he has to turn off his ACU weapon, isn't allowed to build anything
and has to run in a corner of the map behind the base of his mate (to say he is allowed to give tips ingame)

is his partner allowed to give him units that he can micro?

wouldnt it make more sense to let him ctrl k at the start of the game?

having him alive completely fucks with the game. he shares +1 mass +20 energy and he can manually share his starting resources
and serve as a storage later.
this will allow for some stupid builds, force all coaches to use ecoshare etc...

Im not sure about this....
You cant actually give much tips during game, only someee intel that they might have missed, but when you start saying what to do, what do build, you will make thigs worse than they are. Because we are talking about 1200 players, And mostly they are happy to handle their shit somehow. They wont be able to do more than likeee 10% of what you say and also it will cause them to forgot other things. So in the end they will play eveen worse than if you didnt give any tips.
We all know this, when someone better is telling you what to do, you just cant keep up with him and you just stress out and do more mistakes.

The idea is good, but I really dont think it can work out very well. Thats based on my own experience, both when I was noob and people were telling me what to do and ofc when I was observeing some game and telling others what to do. just doesnt work well
