1: People form strong opinions on this site on things they have no business believing in so strongly 2: I don't think some of you understand or are even aware of coaching for video games 3: 250 is not just cheap, it's ridiculously cheap. 4 days of intense instruction on anything costs more than that. 4: I have overwhelming respect for these guys for starting this program. Not only for the entrepreneur spirit, but for the good this could do for e-sports in the US. | ||

I know there's a lot of stuff on strategy and tactics available on the web (day[9], tl, etc.), but that's not what coaching is. Having someone standing over you and coaching you cannot be substituted. High level strategy is based on the assumption that you are doing the other 95% of the game correctly; thats because starcraft is very hard. If you want proof, just look at sports: there's no level of competition in any sport where athletes aren't being coached. Nobody gets anywhere without a coach in any sport. Luckily, people are a lot better at sports than we are at starcraft 2, so we can still get by if we're self taught. But if you can get coaching, it's almost unfair how much it helps. | ||

While it's true that almost everything anyone can teach you is available if you are determined enough to look for it, the problem isn't the lack of information. The main purpose of education isn't giving out information that you can't find anywhere else, it's actually LIMITING the amount of information flow so that you can digest it. Let me put this into perspective, lots and lots of people take music lessons. Only a very very small minority of these are ever going to be 'professional' or use their skills beyond a recreational level. It's arguable that you can everything about playing a piano from books, the internet, youtube videos and the like, but yet, piano lessons generally run around $50 an hour, compared to this, $250 for a weekend is nothing. | ||

) I loved sw:bw and i never even thought about going competitive back then. Until sc2. Build order, economy, expand 1 ahead of the enemy are things I read about, but made more sense when explained by an actual pro verbally(over vent) When i picked the game up for beta a few months ago, i was better than most. I got placed in silver league, but i couldn't get out of it though. So i found TL and with it gosucoaching.com. Machine is zerg and i'm a zerg player, so i picked him to get coaching from. I've done two( 2hr) sessions with Machine and I grew exponentially after the first session imo. Up until the most recent patch i was rank 7 in Diamond league. If I'm not winning any tournys, like i want to be, i'm goin to this camp. spending 240 isn't alot to me if it helps me pursue my goal of participating with the best( and maybe even beating them ) Just my two cents. | ||

I am unsure if you guys do because I am not going to stream through 35 pages of this thread....thank you. They don't. This is the first time that they are doing this. | ||

i know all of these guys and they've spent years refining skills that apply across all rts, not only starcraft. they definitely will improve anyone with the extra time and cash and it'll be a really fun time in general. | ||

It makes me sick to think this kind of shit can happen! I would demand a refund unless he provides Tiger Woods cause obviously he is the only person in the world qualified enough.... | ||
