incontroll is really trying to make money by doing nothing. lets see how many idiots he will find.

"The first day of training, the coaches will go over with each individual the personal goals they want to accomplish the next three days. Better Macro? Micro? Multi-tasking?"

seriously... i dont know what to say, this is just so...

Not to be negative but do these things actually work? I have always been against these kinds of things, if you can't get good on your own then you probably won't be able to stay competitive. This is coming from more of an FPS background where I have seen ridiculousness like Gears of War and Halo 3 classes and training. If you don't have the time and skill to put into the game you will never be a top player.

Unless I have this all wrong and people are shelling out all this money just to beat up their friends or whatever, that is fine too and I am sure these types of things work great for that. Have there been any pro gamers that came out of something like this? I can't think of any in any game really. Again not trying to bring this down, just opening up a little discussion.

There's nothing wrong with someone being willing to pay a skilled and well known player to teach them. But there's probably better ways to go about it.

A round trip ticket to Arizona + lodging seems overpriced. Have you guys thought about liability in the case an accident occurs to a minor?

edit: Maybe using video conferences would be a better idea?

Such a waste of time and money. For 1 the mechanics in starcraft 2 are easy, 2 the strategy is relatively simple, 3 none of these guys are even that good (as in they never actually win anything...).

Its just a giant nerdfest that incontrol is putting together to try and scam people out of their money.

I had 2 hour lessons with Machine, well worth it imo considering I'd expect to play the game for years and years.

Yeah, SC2 is such a simple game. I remember when SCBW was big, back in the day, but I knew better. I finally convinced everyone how little strategy was involved, and it died off pretty soon. Good thing Command & Conquer took Korea by storm, and that it has such a lasting impact.

Don't make the mistake!
It's a huge difference between playing and teaching. The experience is more important. Furthermore i highly doubt that idra is capable of teaching someone.

Great to see that business spirit! For people that think this would be a waste of money then don't buy it. Your opinion on what is worth someone elses time and money is completely invalid. I happen to love sherbert, if you hate sherbert its a waste of time and money...hurrrp de derrp The only way this could be a scam is if they don't deliver on their promises of improving someones play. If they do then the relative value of the project is up to each individual buyer, not some random internet opinion.
Good luck guys, I hope it works out for you and your customers are satisfied. Vids of how it goes down could be really interesting too!

But those players are not the best in America and none of them have ever lived in a progamer house themselves.



You dont have to be the best player to be a good coach. take example in soccer , you have sometimes good coaches wich never played in their live competetive soccer but still very good coaches. i think it's the right step in the pro direction, i think it's unfair to critizize people wich are trying to bring a more proffesional approach to the game.

You also learn faster from other people who are committed like these guys are. i dont understand the hostility from some people here . Who are they and they never won a tournament. Do you think in the Korean team houses the coaches are better players then the players they coach? If the coach would be better then the player , he wouldn't be coaching but playing.

A copper league player could coach a platinum player if he knows the game and has the grasp to analyze the mistakes a player does, points them out and makes the other player practice them.

This might turn out to be quite epic as we get the see the videos of it, question still remains.. is SC2 a difficult enough game to actually be worth using money on to be teached by players who has played the game for 2-3 months? I don't know

Still, it would probably be a pretty entertaining experience to live with these guys for a weekend

Good luck fellas! This sounds like an awesome idea :-)
Hopefully this will be a huge success!

I find it funny that someone who plays beta version of a game for couple of months actually thinks that he is in situtation to ask for money when sharing some tips. From what I´ve seen, all of the teachers there are probably cool guys but this seems kinda ridiculous to me. However I dont know how much money they want and in the end if people who pay for that get better than good for them.
