Hello the TL community,
My team and I are 4 passionate french people with BW (over 11 years!) and now SC2. We were active in eSports since 2010, running SC2 tournaments, and at the end of 2011, we launched eGG-one school: a website which proposes coaches from every eSports game on the same fully automated platform. For students, the platform provides the easiest way to book a lesson with the best suited coach. For coaches, a fully automated payment and reservation system has been developed (calendar, Paypal or credit card securized payment, dispute management...). Only active in France so far, it's now time to go international!
With 5200 hours of coaching bought in France since the opening of the website, in november of 2011, eGG-one school has had an unexpected success. More than 130 000$ (100 000€ ) have been exchanged on mainly five eSport games (League of Legends, Starcraft 2, Counter-Strike : GO, DotA2 and Street Fighter IV). Each day, 300 active coaches are available to share their passion with the 4000 students who are already using the platform. eSports games are numerous and may evolve over time, but the desire to get better at the game will always be there, as well as the will for the best players to share their passion and knowledge.
Fun facts about eGG-one school
- We have two couples within our coaches : one in LoL and one in CS:GO
- 6 of our 300 active coaches are girls. Most of their students are men, as most of the population on the website
- The most reservations done in one day was 30 hours by one client... who actually booked the coaching sessions for a whole team of League of Legends players
- The coach with the most hours given is a SC2 french pro, LDLCcomhG, with 946 hours of coaching given, and the second is a Franco-portuguese LoL pro, Hmmer, with 663 hours.
- One of the first eGG-one school client was a SC2 passionnate who had won a small amount on the french lotery and tested each and every coach on the website
History
eGG-one has been active in eSports since 2010. The team of 4 old time friends, passionate with eSports, was first known for the organisation and casting of SC2 and LoL french tournaments, such as the eGG-one Starleague and the LDLC Nashor Trophy, featuring players like MoMaN, ToD, Stephano for SC2 and YellowStar, Hyrqbot or Narkuss for LoL. Spending time with the french top players, eGG-one team discovered the need for a platform to organize and manage eSports coaching. Within three months, the first version of the eGG-one school website was online, and the first hour of coaching was sold.
Also working as video maker, eGG-one school produced this video you might have heard of:

We need your feedback
We started this sponsored thread because TL has always seemed to us like the best place to talk about eSports. There's nothing more valuable to us than users or soon to be users feedback, and we'd love to hear what the TL community has to say about the brand new version of our website. We know eSports coaching has been out there for a while, we just hope to boost this tendancy along with the other coaching websites. Also, if you have any questions or want to give private feedback, please send us an email
