It costs 250$ to attend + whatever you spend on travel and your own food. We will provide some meals though.

If you are flying, please let us know your flight arrival and flight number, someone will pick you up at the airport.

Don't have a quote to answer #3. I'm assuming it's up to typical male standards, but would likely be appalling to most females.

You could learn equal or more by watching Day9

"We will provide some meals" Is too vague for me lol. Overall it sounds to me like this camp, overall, would wind up costing around $500-750

I just can't imagine anyone paying that much to get better at a video game, and its not like its gonna make you a top player anyways, just a little bit better. How can it be worth like 300$

Well...No. There is no substitution for practice, but I think for six hundred dollars, I would rather just stay at home (continue going to work) And keep hiring gosu coaches to help me once in a while.

How much is gosucoaching compared to the camp?

Good idea, I think it could benefit everyone that wants to be good at a game. Each person its hobby, and I do believe since Starcraft 2 will probably be the best game for the next 10 years (just like starcraft), 250$ at the beginning of the release will allow the participants to be good and enjoy starcraft even more. Its a good investment (10 years of being good, owning people online and feel more confident for 250$). It also gives you experience of a daily pro gamer, how he lives, etc, allows you to travel to a new place. Basically its just like going to a trip to Vegas or anywhere else.

stop bashing, the idea is cool and original.

Like it, sign up

dont like it, dont sign up

The difference between the camp and gosucoaching.com is that when you hire a coach, it's strictly 1 on 1, not 3-4 on 8. Anyway, I'm not bashing the camp, I like the idea, i'm just not going to travel out to arizona and spend like 600 dollars on this.
An hour with a pro coach averages about $20 on gosucoaching.com, not including the computer, active internet connection, etc.
The camp costs $250 + plane ticket (for sake of ease, let's say that costs $100 for a person anywhere in the lower 48.) + food expenses (Let's say they buy you dinner on your last day, leaving you to buy food the other days.) +$50. Plus most normal people are going to have to take off time from work to do this, and that cost can vary.
I think it would be a lot of fun, but it's really not as convenient for the 18+ gamer... And anyone under 18 would never be allowed to do this anyway.

Maybe after sc2 comes out if I'm practicing for tourneys or something I might use their gosucoaching site, $20 an hour isn't bad, lessons on musical instruments cost about the same.
