greggsauce would you be shocked to learn that despite our "recent performance" (laughable, we played other TOP players and lost/won but apparently that makes us average platinum players) we are STILL better than 99% of people in the USA? Yep. Hate to burst your bubble but you can name maybe 4-5 other USA SC2 players that are currently around our skill level but nobody that is run away better save for IdrA and he is in korea + he loses games to us as well.

You are rapidly approaching uncommunicative levels when you assert things based on me saying I was broke in an interview and "recent performance" when we h ad louder take 4th in the NA invitational, Machine helped close out the USA vs Canada showmatch winning 2-0 vs their best players, Inka clobbering ZOTAC's recent runner up Jinro 2-0, Lzgamer a weekly tourney champion and myself who ain't too shabby either. But I am not going to continue this argument because I have experience, hard facts and names and you have generalities and the end goal of dirtying this thread up with garbage.

Consider this my last indulgence.

I don't see how people can say things like coaching being completely useless for platinum players simply based on personal experience.
I could learn everything I learn at school and so much more through the Internet, but I still go; human interaction and guidance is important to some degree. I'm not convinced by the whole 'training with the pros rather than training with the college team' thing; which famous, successful coach have you heard of that was also a famous, successful player? I can't even think of one. That afaik no one has come out and said 'these guys suck don't take their offer' suggests that they know what they're doing. You don't have to be the best player to be the best teacher, or even a good player to be a good teacher. We like Day[9] even though he's not a top-tier player, while I doubt that Idra would get many viewers.

These players are some of the best there are right now. That statement is undeniably true. As a #1 plat player, I would love to have these players analyze my play and give their opinions.

Would you go to phoenix and pay $250 in order to do so? Do you use their GosuCoaching? Because they do it there.

I'll play along:

Yes I would, I would like the go down to AZ cause I have extra disposable income and would like to be a better player + have fun experience with other SC2 players, both players a lot better than me and some around my level. I think in person + full day training sessions will help me many multitudes more than just using gosucoaching.

Most people are probably negative/skeptical about this because really there are no SC2 progamers right now, regardless how talented or not talented EG is or however they want to hype themselves .

Saying they are better than 99% of usa is an exaggeration imo, there are a lot a lot of other good players as well, and it being beta, nothing is fleshed out strategy wise. But these guys have strong SC background (OBVIOUSLY).

my personal opinion: EG is very good, but no where near LEVELS above other top usa gamers that others could not offer the same type of service.

with that being said, other top players are not offering this type of thing apparently, so what would be wrong with going to EG since they are offering it?
