I really feel bad for Gosu Coaching. It was a wonderful idea. I hope your new business model works better.

Yeah, even though there was a lot of rage by the OP, this thread was needed.

I always thought if ppl want to coach SC2, they should just do it individually instead of have this collective website thing. Just don't make the mistake of overbooking. Each coach fends for himself, schedules for himself, advertises for himself, etc.

Rage? Perhaps. But this thread wasn't a good way to deal with it. Maybe he just had no idea of alternate ways to get in touch with them?

It was a good method. Gosucoaching wasn't responding to their client. They weren't going to confess their faults unless someone wrote a bad review on TL. Without this post, some people will continue to sign up for gosucoaching and not get the service that they deserve in return.

I agree if he didn't realize there were other ways to get in touch with these guys... but since he was posting here I'd think he would know he could just pm one or two of them and give them a chance in case there really were e-mail bugs etc.

I think it's fine for several coaches to represent a website. As long as the coaches themselves are contacting the student, there shouldn't be any issues with conflicting schedules, time zones, etc.

Best of luck with the new website, iNcontroL.

why would he need to have alternate ways to get in touch with them? they should be responding by their listed email and this is obviously a good way to get their attention if they don't respond

A thread explaining the situation would be reasonable since it would get the ball rolling with figuring out what the heck is going on (not that TL is officially tied to gosucoaching, but we are nice like that?). As I said above it could have been an e-mail problem etc... He didn't make a thread trying to get it resolved... he made an inflammatory thread that was also terrible for about 3 reasons. It still got the job done though so I will admit that... although I'm not sure if this was actually his goal or not.

Actually I did say his anger could be understandable. I think you and I just see something like this differently. I lean too far in the opposite direction though probably, but I wouldn't have done what the OP did.

Hate to hear it, coaches.

Incontrol - Don't give up on that coaching vision. Clearly it's something people want, and are willing to pay for. It just needs to be done right.

There are several successful business people around TL. I'm sure any one of them would be willing to give you advice, should you ever need it. (I run a residential rental company, and would love to field questions from an aspiring entrepreneur)

Starting a business is hard, but if you put in the time, and the sweat, and the tears (and there will be lots of those) you'll find it to be the most rewarding thing you've ever done.

Best of luck to you guys in the future.

edit: And for what its worth, businesses can't be run on good intentions. You (and everyone involved) have to realize that running a company, regardless of scope, is a full time job. If its not treated as such, it can never succeed.

You know what I think (again this is my speculation) ... that most ppl who signed up for gosucoaching probably wanted to be taught by 1 or 2 specific coaches out of the whole pool. And there are probably a bunch of gosucoaching coaches who won't be able to get that much business now that they have to fend for themselves. It's pretty obvious Incontrol was the most popular coach.

I truly do appreciate the words of support. I also fully understand the words of condemnation and frustration.

I am working towards a better future.

This failure hurts the coaches as well as the prospective clients equally. Please know it is in our best interest to rectify this and make all things right.

While I agree his frustration is understandable, he took it way to far. No need to rage about it on the TL forums. The people there are people that are regulars at this site and the site started out fine with many people liking it. So given its history its really more plausible that it wasn't some scam. Think things through and have a little more faith in people imo.

To take this to a thread and literally title the thread that gosucoaching is a scam website/fraud website is absolutely ridiculous. Running into an issue like this is not a fraud or scam, its just internal troubles. iNcontroL already stated that the problems will be fixed so I don't see why this thread is still titled in such a way, its rather unfortunate as it really puts a bad name on the coahces that don't deserve the bad name.

imo Incontrol couldn't have given a better response. He addressed the issue in a very good manner, and actually took responsibility even though he's probably not to blame. Best of luck to your future coaching plans incontrol.

Incontrol gave a great response. Someone with a level head like yourself will be able to salvage this idea and make it work for sure.

However, hindsight is 20/20...Why the fuck are people still blaming the OP. Making a thread was PERFECTLY FINE after TEN fucking days. It's logical to believe they wouldn't respond to PMs if they didn't respond to emails.

I mean the people who are saying the OP shouldn't have made a thread like this...Does your logic somehow go: Email isn't responding---> OH SHIT ITS AN EMAIL ERROR -----> PMing the should do the trick! ------> Even though they have the ability to get online and check TL PMs they probably said hey fuck it who cares about my business that I have a responsibility for, clearly anyone who has problems will message me through TL PMS!!!!

LOL

Some people think in these situations it's incompetency rather than most likely a scam... especially when you consider the reputation these guys had.

OP's frustration is understandable, i don't get people criticizing him for taking it to the community so that people find out. It's just like in r/l when you get a bad service/product you write on specialized forums/magazines to inform others of it. In this case it was all done well especially concerning iNc's good PR who cleared things up and keeps his image untouched .
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

foreigner coaches suck? J/K!

(i mean yeah it's pretty dumb to outright call them scammers blah blah...but what do you expect from someone paying for video game lessons)
