SCDojoOrlando, FL ![[image loading]](http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4765/unledsva.png )
Hey,
If you know me, I stream out of Orlando and mention this a lot on my stream, if you don't - listen up.
I've been getting a lot of requests to see if a Starcraft II class could be hosted in Orlando by either myself or some other FL player. Now us Orlando guys have posted about Orlando events before and have shown amazing participation (LANKnights for example) - so I hope we keep up the reputation!
If you're say.. diamond or below, would you be interested in going to something like this? If so, what kind of things do you think would make a day or possibly a weekend of coaching worth going to? I'm buddy-buddy with the owner of Next Level LAN out near FullSail University and they have a room we could use complete with a projector and computers to set up an entire class. I also have connections with the local businesses in the area who can provide catering so you'd get fed as well as taught.
Below are some updates about the class that will be happening
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATES: Everything is set to go!
LAST UPDATE (I think..). If you want to guarantee your spot in the class, your ONLY chance to pre-register on-site will be this FRIDAY during SCII night. If you are unable to do so, PM me and you can pre-register via paypal.
THERE WILL BE BEER!
When: Sunday, October 2nd, 2011 at noon
Who: Myself and the instructors:
Zerg: CatZ
Protoss: Whiplash
Terran: Spades
Where: Next Level LAN Center (nextlevellan.com)
What: this depends on the questions you answer above
How: 30% class lecture, 70% hands-on
Cost: $65 at the door, $60 pre-registration
If any of you want to get a preview of the place or want to play with the Orlando crew, head over to SCII nights:

Sounds like a great idea! Hopefully you get alot of interest. For me personally I'm a master level zerg, but if it was reasonably priced for a day of SC2 and fun talking to players better and worse than me, I'd be interested in going.
As to answer those questions I think you'd need to split into groups and have a good player familiar with all three races help build on players standard play or any solid build really.
As for which FL players, all of them!

hey dude i live in kissimmee myself, i got 2 friedns that would love to see this...^_^ would you be able to hire people for the class or something like that looking for work lol related to SC2 would be best thing ever

Well, so far I know 100% that you'll get a full day pass of PC gaming at the place if you do the class. That's a given. I'm going to see if I can get news of this posted at Full Sail or UCF as well. My thoughts was that I'd teach the Z part if no other FL zergs that are better than I am stepped up. I hang out with Whiplash IRL all the time so he can do Protoss with me. Spades is the only good FL terran that whip and I know so he may be able to cover that.
My goal is to have no more than 3 people teaching the course. The fewer the better. Now I'm sure the LAN Center would want a cut, so like half of the enrollment cost could go to them and the other half to pay for food and what little is left can go to the instructors, I guess. Just give me a heads up with the answers to those questions and I'll see what I can do from there. I'll obviously keep you guys updated through here and the stream.

I might show up. i'll be in gainsville!

I'm stationed at Patrick AFB in cocoa beach and I'd be more than happy to help out if needed.
1600+ zerg NA Masters season 2
1400+ zerg KR Masters season 2
Usually my schedule is up in the air because of shift work but at the same time I could be available during weekdays all day or weekends so that could be a plus.
I already do some free coaching through wtr1be so it wouldn't be a huge change for me.

I live in windermere but
I'm on ucf side a lot. I wish the 408 was cheaper. I'd be down for this. I need to meet you guys and play! Orlandowhaitingggg
|
I live in windermere as well, this would be a pretty cool thing.
|
Yes, yes , yes, finally happening~
|
This is an awesome idea. I wish someone would do it out here in San Diego.
|
CatZ.. you never show up to LANKnights you bum. I'll believe it when you finally decide to hang out with the Orlando crew! Besides all you got up there is drinking and the west oaks mall.
|
I'm at the LANCenter right now. I'll speak with the owner again and see what some of the details will be. Tentatively we want to do this in mid-October or late Sept.

Hey yea that was a fun LAN event I went to with u guys at UCF sometime in the very beginning of SCII, hopefully this one wouldn't have all those crazy disconnecting problems. I'd definitely come if it was on a Sunday which is the only day I don't have college this semester unfortunately. Remember that MLG Orlando is coming so you wouldn't want to make it on that same weekend.
As for the pricing, I don't really care, just as long as it's not too crazy. I play Zerg. Whatever u guys decide on the specifics is cool with me, I'd just b there for the experience.
Edit: Also, if people don't answer here make sure you pm them please ;-D
|
Alright. So everybody is being a tad vague on pricing. For an entire day do you think $30 is too much? The big clincher is if there will be food or not....
|
Yo, where is LANKnights held?
|
I'd definitely pay probably up to like $75 or so depending on the length of time and coaches (AKA CatZ haha) if that makes u happy ;-D The LanKnights event I think he's referring to was at UCF. Would be fun just to see what the hell I've been doing wrong this whole time lol.
|
taking coaching to the next level right here! good luck with this project 
|
I'd move to Orlando for that. Seems like everything awesome happens far away from where I live.

Just from an outsider's point of view that sounds more than fair.
|
I don't live anywhere close to Florida, but if one were near me I'd be in. Hell, if somebody did an online group coaching instead of 1 on 1's and just split the cost I'd do that.
