fucking fail seriously


People actually try to use "nerd" as a put down on a SC forum? Really? Dude you've lost any ability to use that just by being on this site, let alone registering and posting. NERD.

Thankfully we won't be taking nature walks or sitting in the yard playing lawn darts. This is a SC2 camp so the surrounding infrastructure should have very little impact on us. Also believe it or not, hot weather in the summer happens in lots of places. Thanks though for your help, in the future we will move this camp to our vacation home in the pacific islands.

Even if you guys did that, someone would have SOMETHING to complain about (probably the heat still) :o

Fun Idea, but I feel like you guys will have trouble finding people who can not only travel but bring their own PC's... Unless they are in the pheonix area. Getting PC's through an airport would suck, they would almost certainly be screened and or smashed in luggage. Also it seems to me it would work way better with lan >< (lol blizz), a single connection might be strained unless you plan on playing only 1 game at a time. Still, If I Could get time off work and find a cheap flight I would consider it.

Good luck guys!

This. Why are people complaining about the weather? Here in AZ we pump AC 24/7 so unless you are a smoker and need your smoke break prepare to sweat for 5 minutes. As someone who has lived in Queen Creek, the stars are so beautiful at night time, you'd really enjoy it. Consider it part of the $250 you shell out. Plus, in the middle of QC there are a lot of cool things to do ( some bars and stuff out there), plus, everything you need from Fillibertos, Mcdonalds, Wal Mart, etc all on Rittenhouse / Ocotillo.

EXPERIENCE new things, a new place, and most importantly, nerding it up in SC2 with 11 other nerds. :D

Thanks for posting the price. Considering it covers housing and food, that's actually really cheap.

I find this idea unique and bold, considering the divided opinion on the camp itself, so I would like to share a few points I was thinking about throughout the day. (Bare with me here, I just got home after a 16 hours school/work day).

Firstly, what prompted Team EG to start this ? Apart from entrepreneurship and an attempt to broaden eSports prospective sphere of influence, has Team EG truly consider that the camp will help boost Starcraft as a means of MTV-esque show ? Giving back to the community is one thing, but plunging your heads into an unorganized, lack of commitment cash cow is another. I, as well as many others that have posted, look forward to Team EG's performance not only as gosucoaching experts, but pro gaming and its professionalism. It is highly possible that the turn out of this event will not be something that you guys and the community are expecting. I'm positive that will bring down not only your reputation as a well-known and respected professional gaming group, but of any future Starcraft-related events. (+ the bandwagon of mockery and ridicule ) I trust you consider the consequences, and that not only are your asses on the line, but possibly the future of e-Sports. (I apologize for that, perhaps it was a little over the top..) Also, I am simply disgusted at the fact that posts before discredit Team EG's performances in recent events. I find it useless to talk anymore about it, as their credentials as a positive influence to the community can be found everywhere on the forums. Now, about the event itself.

I'm talking from a more business-like perspective, so please forgive me for mistaking anything. I suppose that this is your test run for later camps and eventful promotions in the near future. If so, what does the $250 cover ? I understand if you don't want to disclose that information. The reason why I bring it up is because it's possible for you to throw out a promotion for a "student" who is starting out with starcraft, perhaps a bronze/silver leaguer, and then transform him into "zomg rank 2 plat". That would definitely be an eye-catcher. Waive the fee, or lessen it, but advertise that well until it runs dry. I know that other details are meant for private negotiation between your group and the applicant, but throwing a sample of the selection process and documenting a selected few would encourage discussion among forum-goers, getting important feedback and comments. I also find that it is quite enjoyable as well, seeing how most of us would like to be in the shoes of the pupil.

I'm really tired so I'm just gonna wrap this up. I personally find it a bit early in this stage of the game to be offering a service like this, simply because things aren't set in place yet. The idea is solid, the execution is yet to be determined, but in the long run, I hope not only the trainees benefit from this, but gosucoaching as well. The TL community can try to be a little more supportive about this, rather than useless bashing on how greed consumes EG. Keep your opinions to yourselves. Next time inControl makes a poll on "do you think this is a good idea ?", we'll come back to your apeshit pessimism. I applaud all of you who are taking part in this, as a fellow sympathizer of eSports. I wish you the best of luck

Their time and expertise. When you go to a doctor and he does a physical exam for you but you don't need any prescriptions or tests it's not like you are just like "well, guess I don't gotta pay cya laterzzz."

You are paying for their hard earned knowledge. Gamers=doctors pretty much or lawyers, etc.

By the way, I don't know why you guys are confusing this... this isn't a team EG event, this is a Gosucoaching event. The fact that most of the staff are in EG is pretty much inconsequential.

Really awesome I hope this works out greatly and is a lot of fun!

Isn't there something like Str8 camp? Halo training camp. This isn't anything new, just a new game.

Why are so many people hating on this? I think it's a great idea, though the cost is a little too steep for what I would personally pay, but the idea is sound. And for the people saying this is just too "nerdy" - really? How is going to call someone out for being a nerd going to have any effect on a SC forum? There's no real difference between this and going on any type of sports training camp.

Except a sports training camp is usually a summer camp that lasts several weeks and gets your kids out of the house and exercising.
