I'm gradually making the transition from life as a full-time Starcraft athlete to the tough job of coaching Starcraft full-time. Initially I was talked into coaching when Starcraft: Brood War players were making the switch from the in-booth athletic side of the game and assuming the role of mentor for a younger generation of gamers. I learned quickly that whether you were playing with your hand on the mouse, or trying to bring out the best in an athlete, the same logic applied. The same way players need the best in peripherals, chairs, monitors, and computers, a well-prepared coach comes to the table with an ideal atmosphere for Starcraft to supplement the best insight and commentary provided for the players. To help inspire players and aspiring coaches alike, the elite students who seek mentor-level tactics and strategy, I've acquired the coaching venue presented in this blog. I think this is best for the Starcraft community and am proud to present this lovely poolside vista.

Dog Micro is quite something.
Don't get too catty.

Currently I am in the process of acquiring training venues for the players. Most players learn best in intense Alpine conditions or submersed in aquatic environments. For students with eclectic interests I am looking into boxcar houses, an area with vast unexplored potential.

Ideally these and other vistas would act like a basic training circuit, an atmospheric rotation to bring out the elemental strengths of Starcraft players.

Yeah, I knew someone would hint about fan girls, the proverbial grease of the e-sports rolling iron. I don't know what to tell you. The top 1% of players garner ten maybe fifteen percent of the most dedicated fan girls. Top sources within e-sports say fan girl cabals, and especially their heads are the most significant explanatory force in the longevity of star player's careers. The subject is a touchy one, and highly controversial, and resists critical analysis despite its overwhelming importance. I can't say more about my plans in this sphere at present.
