1) Is food cost included in the $250? 2) Will you be picking people up from the airport? 3) How hygienic/clean is this house, anyway? I'm sure this isn't actually a house specifically owned by gosucoaching, it probably just belongs to incontrol and machine. | ||

I'm assuming it's up to typical male standards, but would likely be appalling to most females. | ||

"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 | ||

Just because there is an allotted time slot for breakfast/lunch/dinner doesn't mean that they're going to be providing it for you... | ||

How can it be worth like 300$ If people paid 10$ for an hour of coaching with inc (who is a damn good teacher, and understands RTS games and startcraft VERY well, no matter what people may say about his skill level/ability to play the game) then im sure there are some who would pay 300 for 3 days of coaching from 3 good players with lots of experience in a progamer house setting | ||

How can it be worth like 300$ Well in all honesty, if I didn't have to buy a plane ticket, I would probably do this training camp, mostly for fun, and experience. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

I would really recommend it. It's a lot of fun, and you will get much better in areas you want to work on if you use it. That's not to say that you couldn't eventually achieve the same level of skill by simply practicing, but not everybody has time to go to school, come home, and play SC2 all day. Some of us (me) are going to college AND working a job, and have a girlfriend, too. So gosucoaching is a good alternative. | ||
