"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... This is just a more expensive version of gosu coaching. People seem to be paying for that, a lot of people... | ||

Don't be such a downer - you can't honestly say it wouldn't be cool to learn tips and tricks to micro around your units, multitask, etc. from a very strong player standing literally over your shoulder. It probably seems worth it to only a tiny minority of players, but still gotta say i wish I could do it. | ||

Anyone English speaking in Western Europe, if you pay my transport, give me a bed, beer and pizza I will come to you bearing a beta key and teach you to be plat sc2. This includes people who have never played sc2 and just want to try it out. I get to see random places and people with free beer and you get better at sc2. | ||

1. Price is private. I didn't want a 15 page discussion nit-picking the price and what it entails when it really is none of your business. If you are interested in going, we will obviously discuss. It is incredibly modest for a 72 hour crammed coaching session involving a tourney, lodging, food, transportation etc.. so I didn't think it necessary. Frankly I don't think a lot of you should obsess over it since I know for a fact that you aren't interested in participating. 2. Please stop obsessing over "this is a beta." This game will launch with an EXTREMELY similar build to this beta. People who are receiving training or working at the game now are going to benefit. We don't see tourney threads filled to the brim with "this is just a beta, this is retarded" because that would be stupid. So why then, when threads discuss training or (o m g!) receiving compensation to help others train, does this come up? I'd ask that you please try and minimize that discussion since the reasons are already known: A lot of people in the SC community are extremely against paying money for anything in the community. This isn't the first SC camp to be offered. This will be the most successful SC(2) camp to be given however. Encourage people for once, stop hating. If you have community members so serious they are willing to travel and pay a fee to be trained, great! If you have community members so serious they are willing to organize, and open the doors to their house and coach people for 3 days, great! Why hate? 3. Nope we ain't the best. Nobody said we were. But until you see a house of better SC2 nerds offering the same business I don't see how this is an issue? If you are winning all the SC2 tourneys and we cannot offer you anything then by all means, state as much. To the others, you probably could benefit and should stop being a negative nancy for the "benefit" of others. 4. As a final note, please please please give this plea a ear: We aren't evil. We don't sit around and think about scamming, or giving people less for their money so we can run to the bank and cash our massive checks. We want to do good by the community. We are excited that SC2 has come and is growing our world. Please allow us that opportunity and help us.. it will only help "you" and this community. | ||

beats the crap out of archery and arts and crafts. Also people keep in mind that pro teams in north america don't get the financial support they do in Korea. Things like this are productive and creative ways for progamers to use their talents and keep doing what they love. Overall it will help eSports in the west. | ||

These guys aren't new to the competitive RTS scene and have a better idea of whats going on then 99% of sc2 players. Unfortunately I have not come across a large sum of money and will most likely not be able to do this fabulous event. lol stop dodging me User was warned for this post | ||
