But hey if a teenager is dumb enough to spend his allowance on something he can basically get for free, then go for it. Just know you are lining someones pockets User was warned for this post I suppose you support the parents who decided to sue Apple because they gave their kids iPhones and let them download apps. Not teaching their kids fiscal responsibility is the parent's fault, don't be a dumbfuck. Many Starcraft players like myself are in their 20s-30s. If I want to spend money I earned on getting better at this game I don't want people like you ruining it for me. | ||

IdrA, SeleCT, SjoW at SixPoolGaming seems like an ez choice, no? uh wow this is just so condescending. Sure they might not have high profile players like you do but doesn't mean you need to put them down. | ||

You should be careful to say what they can give, and instead say how your product compares with what is currently offered. It also helps to make good on the claims, otherwise the constant barrage of hype will work against you and those you attempt to promote. And if you haven't already rolled your eyes and moved on, I will add that I am all for the growth of eSports. I will support those who want to monetize it and add value to the community. However, I am very much opposed to those who attempt to tear down what others have built for their own gain. Customers and fans will keep you accountable for the things you say. I suggest more consideration for those that came before you so we can help this thing grow the right way. | ||

Well, you're quoting something I said several months ago in an old Q&A thread that isn't even applicable anymore, and in no way was meant to bash on GOM. I'm sorry if you see it that way. If I say, "why eat oranges when you can eat apples... apples are so much better than oranges" , I'm not trying to trash oranges. I'm just saying how I think apples are better and that they're tasty. I'm not even saying oranges are not tasty, they could/are very well be. You're really misconstruing what I say by nitpicking a few choice words out of context and trying to be argumentative. That's not really fair to me, especially because you don't know me and have never spoken to me. Anyway I won't argue about it any longer, sorry if you don't like the way I type things out, I can't please everyone. All I can say is that we are going to be doing some great things ! | ||

My previous post was ultimately a plea to you to choose your words more carefully when making claims about someone else's product -- as your comments in this thread were equally out of line. It is very likely that you will share the same customer pool, so it would be wise to not alienate them for the products they might choose just as a means to your ends. Also, I am not alone in the way your comments were construed. So once you work through the typical internet filters that we apply to forum discussions, I hope that you might see the validity in the advice and opinions your comments garnered. | ||

You are too late on this product, Razer beat you to it. I hope you signed an NDA with them. : ) The second one has also been invented already as well, it's called coke.

You already made a dig at the quality of players at hotkeyit. "EZ choice". Those were your words, nobody quoted you out on context at all. And as for NASL statements being "not applicable anymore"- this is less than a few months ago. Words you said about GOMTV saying even your lowest quality will be better than their highest quality. These words were of course untrue as of now as we have seen NASL. With that said I'm sure this will be a good resource for ambitious players trying to learn. | ||

Xeris and his comments (past and present) completely turn me off from anything he is involved in So true, I'm quiet surprised he is they guy chosen to be the face of so many projects. I'm surprised there's any money in things like this and the coaching when there's literally unlimited resources to help learn the game, everywhere. People always look for the "quick fix" where they can just throw money at improving instead of actually putting in hard work and dedication. Just look at the popularity of weight loss products. | ||

Nevertheless it's starting to feel like this is all basically exploitation of the whole new series of gamers that are now appearing in the community; when previously things like video tutorials would have been free for everyone to view. Any money going into this, coaching or even some tournament subscriptions are not directly supporting eSports at all like some people seem to imply. I guess if there's a market there someones going to charge for it though. It reminds me of when Artosis and Gentho made a video site to learn BW where you bought the lessons. It's basically the model for this SPG thing from what I can tell. The difference was people pretty much just laughed that thing off entirely. The community balked at the idea of paying $2.99 to learn how to use lurker ling vs T or whatever their lessons were. BW was by far the more difficult to learn game, but everyone who wanted to learn it used the freely available resources. Whereas in SC2 the whole coaching thing is just ridiculously large for what they offer. On the one hand I am glad people can make money from the game, but on the other I am really wondering where all these suckers came from | ||
