Dream Team Academy
So, I have decided to challenge some of my clanmates and other pro players of the community to take *one* new player under their wing and help them get better at sins. We will look for people who are dedicated and are serious about getting better. I am not trying to help out every person at once, but rather focus our attentions on one or two people at a time to get them caught up to speed and ready to contribute to 5v5s.
This means each pro takes a player under his wing, and at the very least should:
If you are new, or a pro, you can post here to sign up and I'll add you to the list.
For the new players:
You need to show some commitment and enthusiasm if you expect to be tutored. Every pro has his own standards for accepting an apprentice. For example, if I have a vacancy, I expect new players to add me on steam after sending me a PM on sins forums notifying me of their interest and steam name. From there I will conduct a small interview just to get to know them and determine their enthusiasm. If I like what I hear, I will add them to the list.
In your post, be sure to include:
For the pros:
If you are a pro, you too must be committed to helping a player learn in the long haul, and even if you are bored of sins, you still are around on steam to answer questions when you are playing other games. Be communicative and encourage them to play sins with you when you are.
Pros signed up:

Mentees looking for tutoring:
I think I'd be interested in this. I've played Sins for a while now (since about 2008, summer of) and I just bought rebellion (steam sale!) Anyway, here's my stuff:
I know all of the technical details and mechanics of the game (or maybe I don't, but I think I do...), and I mainly need help with either early game, research order, and skill builds for Capital ships (based on what I've been reading, it's a lot different than I thought it was)
Hi i'm a noob that is getting quite into this game since the christmas deals, If anybody would be interested in showing me the ropes i'd be very gratefull.
I am an active member of the sins community, and would like help gaining acceptance among pros
4. I try for a sudden burst of military or expansionistic growth right after the early game. I use many drone hosts and discs
1. i play as either advent loyalist or vasari loyalist, and sometimes tec rebel
3. my steam name is Moo Sephei {SoGE}, and i like french silk pie
2. I play sc1 and age of empires 1, 2, & 3
Not very good with sc. i also enjoy anno 2070
I play 3-4 hrs 5-6 days of the week, so you can see me on Ico between 8 pm and 2 am central standard time
Moo Sephei I am on generally the same time frame you are, add me as a friend and I'll take you through a couple games and show you the ropes. My steam name is Mr_Book
I'm now also mentoring Lazword.
I'm just warning you that this guy is a little... eccentric. I'll also be reaching out to some of the new mentees and mentors tomorrow and trying to play cupid
Cute. We need some more pros who are willing to help a newbie improve.
I just bought and installed the game yesterday and would love some help from a mentor. I've gone through all the tutorials, messed around a bit in a test game, and have started watching some guides on YouTube. However, some things are still not clicking.
Apart from a mentor, if someone wants to just help on Steam with questions, etc. then let me know.
Thanks.

We did a 1v1 yesterday. I talked him through basic early-mid game strategy and had him record the game. Haven't heard back from him but he seemed ok. Of course I have no idea yet how much of what I showed him he took to heart.
Gonna talk since now, that I want to be very good at this game, in near future, I won't have much time to keep playing, so let's make every hour worth.
Waiting answers.
Thank you all.
Lazward and slowreflex, add me as a friend (Mr_Book) and look for me on steam. I usually play after 8pm EST (GMT -5). If we are on at the same time I'll play a 1v1 or two with you and give you as much knowledge as I have to give.
i still want to learn from pros...
especially want to watch and study skilled 1s records and some tricky trick
i always consider 5s is not that much about personal's tech but more about the team and the map
Now you just need to find someone that is better than you that you can learn from Anhpp. Not an easy task.
Not sure if I'm qualified but I'd love to help out as a "pro".
I'm obviously not on Doci or Quar's level, but I can definetely get a total noob up in skill level. So add me if you think I'm good enough to mentor some newbs.
Give me a noob... Steam name is Specter and Sins name is Eros... Usually on after 5pm PST if i play.. I can teach any race
Eros aka [_]-Specter
PS and the answer is no BOOPOO... you are still mine
Im here but howthe didn't put my name up, lol.
Am I considered a pro? I know i have things to work on, but I can match you almost anytime on the frontlines
I'll be glad to help a newbie, any new player needs help my steam account is "ColdFront".
I'll take you Tanaka272.
I've added you to steam. My steam name is boopoopoo.
Hi guys, Australian (+10) timezone here!
I am a halfway decent player, can open properly and play all races, but am looking to increase my skill level and actually find more people to play sins with!
I would be happy for anyone to contact me; I will help brand new players, play games with those on my skill level and try to learn from those better than I.
I would really like to learn how to get better at this game. I have played the original game and did a few 5s games and one 5ss where i got a lot of help.
If find it really hard to deal with Vasari in mid/late game as AL and really hard to deal with TEC as VL in early/mid game
This thread is dead sadly, it has been mugged or something...
Really you pro guys should reply more to these chaps, it would really help this game grow
HAHAHA
There is just few (read 3-5) old pros who are still playing on the same skill level that they used to.
Rest of us log on every now and then and we are rusty....
Until new balance patch SINS for me is a dead game
5V5 hurts these days?
HeHeHe
Yeah I heard it does. Especially ones that are China vs ICO Skilled. There is huge demand for certain lube these days. But then I guess ICO regulars have to scrape from the bare bottom to fill their ranks.
I even heard people who were 3 months ago kicked out of skilled 5s are now champions of first picks.
Rumours...
