This way you can go, enjoy yourself, get drunk a lot and party for 3 days. Plus play a bunch of starcraft. That's almost worth $250 by itself. The 'expertise' etc or whatever is just gravy. I was fully expecting this to be $450 or so. | ||

WHat are you even driving at, do we need to be the best to put on a camp for people? Evidently not. I've received over 30 applications in the first day. | ||

However, if this were in my state or even an adjacent state, I'd be jumping at the chance. I don't even really care if I get better in the long run, just having the experience for such a modest price would be reason enough for me. My IRL friends don't play StarCraft, they have no idea what it's like. Being able to share that with people my age and eat pizza and get drunk and bullshit with each other for a few days would just be great. This. I've worked on my friends for like the past year gradually getting them into RTS. What happened? Most don't care and would rather jump at God of War 3, SSF4, or some other thing. Just being able to be around a bunch of other nerds who love this stuff to death is why I come to TL and why I'd go to the camp (but I would wanna get better in the long run ^_^) | ||

I guess that was bad wording on my part. I was calling the house a progamer house because competitive gamers live together on the same sponsored team and are training for competition. I don't actually call the gamers themselves progamer but I can see why that'd be misleading. Once again waxangel your intelligence blasts through my shadey attempts at tom foolery! You caught me exploiting the good people! I in fact all this time wanted people to think I view myself as a non progamer while secretly hiding my desires to be a self proclaimed progamer through strenuous connections with what we call our living situation! | ||

TL.net pounds into us new people, "Contribute to the SC Community." Contribute, Contribute, Contribute. These Gosucoaching guys are working to bring SC community out of the internet universe and into some tangible meetups. Can no one else see that if this is successful then it could grow into something? If run right and often, it could garner sponsors and attention, and maybe even bring money into the esports community. Now, these guys went out on a huge limb with their own time and reputations to try something relatively new to contribute to the SC community and half the threads are about how they aren't 'good enough', nitpicking cost and logistics, and trying to shoot things down. I just wonder when people trying to contribute might get a little leeway from the community, and wonder when TL might put a few slap downs on haters and people not contributing. | ||

As for the actual $250 being worth it or not, thats your call. Its not my place (or yours) to tell other users how to spend their money. If they think its worth it, its worth it. That's all that matters really. | ||

People also buy Gucci Mane "Music" From what I gather the EG crew is a strong team of very likable guys. The majority of people that'd be interested in this either have a decent sum of money laying around, or just want to hang out with some high profile nerds. That's about it. its not quite exploiting people since they definitely don't NEED to be coached in order to play, but its somewhere in the gray area, not really helpful, not really useful. But all I'm really saying is if I was to spend a decent sum of money being trained by someone to get better at what I want to improve on... I will choose the best damn person I can. Charging $250 probably isn't "too" much, but anyone with decent search skills could do way better on their own. I just don't currently see the plusses to this at all. | ||

No surprise considering there are those seminar/camps for people bad with women to become PUAs. And those guys paid anywhere from $200-1000 for those things. Fool and his money are soon parted. | ||
