Also lets dispense with the modesty I've been sporting for a bit here. EG is the best in the USA. There are a few that are in or around our level and they are great. They aren't on a team together and they aren't going to keep up. We are the premier SC2 team and we will only get better because we will put in more time and effort than anyone else in the US. We all qualify for nearly every tourney we compete for and we do fairly well. We lose, we look bad and we bm sometimes. We also win, look amazing and do great things too. If you love RTS games being trained by people who have won national championships, qualified in top 4, or are up and coming (inka) then we are a good choice. If you want to holdout for that IdrA daycamp that is scheduled to take place in November of 2007 on the 45th day then by all means, shoot for that. | ||

Unless its one of those people who would like the discipline of being in that kind of situation, like I feel I would benefit/really boost my training if I was in a house with others playing on a strict time schedule, but I doubt I would go for anything like this. There needs to be some REAL "training houses" and what I mean by that is people who all have goals to becoming the top players in North America, living under one roof with a pretty strict schedule and practicing their builds/strategies/etc til they are perfect, much like the korean houses.. Not a house where its just 4 guys saying "ok, make sure to build more scvs, etcetc".. Im also curious to know if EG actually has their players on a contract/"paid" basis, because as most of us know, theres VERY FEW teams outside of Korea that do this, and I dont think EG is one of them, so if they are using that as part of their marketing to get people to enroll and it is untrue, that isnt very cool. People might actually believe they are being paid a salary to play SC for a living, yet the only team outside of korea that I believe has that happen right now is MYM. I know teams in the recent past had "deals in place" that fell apart, involving many of the US guys, so it'd be nice to get a clarification on that for people who do not understand the "sponsored" aspect. I mean, with Revolution Sports Gaming right now, we have tons of sponsors like BAWLS and Puretrak and many more, yet at this time we do not have any "salaried" players (altho in the past, different story.) | ||

One perk you could add is allow everyone who does it access to a section of your gosu site, and just upload a ton of replays for these privledged people to watch. Like forever, a few replays a day/week from all the coaches. Kinda a benefit after the sessions are over. Or something like that... you know, something a little more tangible. Just a thought. | ||

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. It's pretty hard to take this GreggSauce guy seriously. He's the same troll who posted in the HDH Invitational thread the results of the + Show Spoiler + White-ra vs Tasteless match (placed this in a spoiler tag in case you haven't seen the results of the round of 16 On topic, this is great news. Yet another step in the right direction for e-sports. I remember as a kid going to basketball and soccer training camps in the summer to learn from the best and you're hard pressed to find a better team in the US than EG. Glad to see this on the horizon. Just remember to charge a cancellation fee and setup a LLC (Limited Liability Company) so you can deduct expenses (cell phone, internet, computers, training material, etc.). In the views of the IRS (US tax man) you don't even have to be profitable to deduct all of your expenses. | ||

EDIT- Although to be honest, who wasn't like "what the hell is Machine/Incontrol doing" when they watched the videos? To me it looked like both players were completely winging it. I'm not interested in "hating" on this or whatever, just voicing my opinion. I wasn't a troll, it was in spoiler text, which is why its there. and even then, 99% of people knew what was going to happen in that match. I don't post stuff to get a reaction out of people therefore I'm not really a troll. If you're upset Tasteless lost and you clicked that SPOILER text that was appropriately labeled and found out he got annihilated before you got to see it well, in my opinion thats on you. When I went to see Iron Man 2, I walked by someone at work who was explaining what happened at the end before the movie came out. I chose to not listen to him and I enjoyed the end of the movie. You could've done likewise  | ||

You write too much but know so little. EG is a very well known team, and anyone that follows the e-sports scene know it or at least heard of it. EG's CS division won WCG USA last year, and their WC3 division has Grubby who is one of the three most titled players in the world (the other two are Sky and Moon). | ||

Too bad it's such a long drive (granted not as long as some) from where I am at or I would likely sign up. It would be an 18 hour trip, going none stop.  | ||
