And film every minute of it...
In their PJs...
It will be a succsses!!
P.S. Someone has to randomly scream out "PLAY-GUUUU!!!" during the entire show.
I lol'd at that. I like the idea though. Winners get to go back to sleep.

Guys lets all pay 250 dollars to listen to a full time pizza delivery driver (machine) spew knowledge on how to A click with zerg.
After that you can stare at a wall for 30 minutes before you realize it is actually incontrol talking in his semi-cocky point of view about absolutely nothing. Ever notice how in Ultimate Gamer he got the wallflower card?
Yeah and then you can listen to kelby who should have no short supply of dave/dinos sperm in his mouth talk about how he weighs 145 lbs.
Price: 250 dollars + lodging + food+ drinks + boredom

I play protoss and terran and can probably teach zerg up to a 1700~ish rating.
I'll be making a forum later but PM if interested. Don't waste your hard earned money on traveling to someone elses comfort zone to let them take use of you. All the training you need can be done via a schedule of playing, reviewing replays, and analyzing deep traits in your game.
This camp's training session alone is for 9 hours a day, over the course of 3 days. That's 27 hours of hardcore SC2 training. That means that even without room and board and food being factored in to the $250 cost, these guys are charging less than $10/hour on strategy alone. So you're actually charging more than they are.
Plus, nobody knows who you are, whereas these guys actually have a reputation for being good. Of course, advertising your own business isn't a bad thing, but you don't need to hijack this thread to do it.
Make your own thread, that way people can troll there and annoy the hell out of you too ;-)

Admins, can you warn him or put a temp ban on him for douchebaggery?
I don't know if I'm allowed to ask you guys to ban people (sorry if it's against the rules- I looked and didn't see anything against it), but he's a really crappy troll who's clearly being malicious for no reason.

Incontrol and the others created this place having in mind it would stir up a discussion about the gain of taking lessons. Sure they might lose some potential costumers, but the others who still take lessons will probably be encouraged to take more lessons. This because they will probably have even more faith in the words of incontrol when he is able to defend their arguments on this topic.
**mind explosion**
fucking Scandinavians and their cheap university, being all smart and shit.

I suspect the people paying for this camp are doing it in large part for the social experience of having fun in a house full of gamers for three days. It sounds like a lot of fun. If they wanted to only get better, they can do the individualized coaching that those guys already offer.
That said, I don't feel you're doing the right thing by coming into a thread, posting about your own coaching business to undercut someone else. Imagine if we let everyone do that..
Random blog:
"I know this blog is great, but I just wrote a blog too, check out my blog!!"
Tourney thread:
"The HDH invitational is great, but check out the ICCup tournament! It's going on soon!!!"
Random stream:
"Forget this stream, he sucks! Check out my stream its way better!!"
You are allowed to voice your opinion and state your criticism civilly, but what you posted is not appropriate. Keep your own coaching advertising to your own threads.

Okay just saw this, you have a nerdrage issue with the users that run this camp, keep your personal vendettas out of TL.net, goodbye.

This is possibly the funniest thread I've ever read. So much feelings about this matter.
The mods have allowed the thread to be open. Obviously they have no problems with the team marketing this here at TL.
If the takers know what they are getting into and have the cash to spare, I think it's a great thing for both parts, and I think they could have a lot of fun during those few days aswell.
I would personally never do it but that is from a lot of different reasons that hasn't been mentioned in this thread.
GL to you all ^^;

btw, theres not anything to do in Queen Creek. its the BFE of phoenix valley.
the closest locations of entertainment is Mesa/Tempe (specifically). i live in the valley and would have loved to be here, but ill be out of town for the summer. :-(

If I had the money I'd fly up from Canada, pay my fees, and help teach these guys! It's an awesome idea guys, keep it up.

If you don't like the idea of post count being important then you're at the wrong site. If you think the forum veterans are 25 year old nerd ragers and you don't like the idea of respecting them you're at the wrong site. If you think the rules at SomethingAwful are superior, you're at the wrong site. If you think you know who deserves to be banned and you're not a mod you're at the wrong site. If you don't like the elitist totem pole that is TL then you're at the wrong site.
Yes, you can spam posts, but it's highly unlikely that someone's going to spam up 1k post and not have ever posted anything worthwhile.
Bottom line: If you don't like the rules then YOU'RE AT THE WRONG SITE.
So you're the dude on Fox News that tells us to get out of the country if you don't like one or two policies, aren't you? The world isn't entirely teenage black and white logic, my little friend. Is this the only website you visit? Wow...
I actually hate Fox News (Glenn Beck makes me wanna punch something). But you exactly prove my point. This isn't the only gaming website on the internet. If you don't like how it's run there are plenty of other sites you can visit. You come to this site because you like what it offers (i'm assuming); you're a guest of this site and must therefore abide by the rules. Like they said in the TL commandments, it's their site and it's a private site. Meaning it's their rules and you have to follow whether you like it or not. How would you like it if I went to your house and started breaking your rules for your house like, iunno, jumping on your bed with shoes on or w/e pisses you off.
If you don't agree with TL rules, that's totally fine, but it's too bad for you because while you're here, you still have to abide by them.

Have you guys considering doing something exactly like this but completely online?
For someone like myself who is middle class, this program is very attractive but is simply inaccessible.

Let's all pay real money to get good at a game... It's easy to get (fairly) good at on your own (im 1600 plat, 54-26, and i played one week of BW in my life, and WC3 until i got my 25 win icon ^^, Didnt take any coachingg. Not saying i'm good,just saying that for how short i've played and researched, its proven that you dont NEED coaching to be good) I think this is a bit of a scam TBH, but meh, who am i to judge.
Heres a hint: Watch ALOT of pro replays, watch some day[9] Daily's, get some practice partners, review your replays and pick out where you went wrong.

Emailed! I heartily look forward to a reply, ^.^

I'm pretty sure Gosucoaching's aim is not to be just "good". When I consider taking gosucoaching I'm thinking about actual competitive settings in tournaments, not some battle net ladder that anyone can do well on.
I'm #1 in my plat division and at a decent rating and sometimes play vs known players, but I don't consider myself to be "good". I would think that gosucoaching is offering their service for high level starcraft players who want to take part in tournaments and play at a higher level. There is no way that their experience wouldn't be helpful for someone who wants to truly play at a competitive level.
You can do 1 cheasy strat, or just learn one build and play it over and over again on the ladder. You don't have to deal with pressure, or anything that competitive at the 1600 bracket.
My friend who is GOD AWFUL at RTS and was E in iccup is in plat. You may be in plat but there is gameplay far above what you could even imagine. I really think people have to understand the level of skill difference in plat...

9 solid hours of coaching per day for three days... 27 hours of coaching total... they're charging less than $10/hour for their services (and this completely ignores the coverage of food, room, and board). How many other tutoring services charge $10/hour?
|
Most professional seminars cost $200-$500 for between 1.5 to 8 hour courses. I've been to LAN party's (they're a ton of fun) and aside from that met a couple of these guys and I'm sure everyone who went would have a blast, not to mention the improvement to their SC2 skills. Consider it a bargain because the price will likely go up in future camps.
Kudos to you guys this is a great idea and I wish you success!
