That being said, I would definitely attend some kind of training class. Only difficulty I see would be trying to balance the needs of the players. Bronze level players for example would need to focus on different things than a Plat player for example. | ||

I would play up to like 5+ hours tbh. I want to get better. (If I could lol) » How much would you Want to pay? Right now like 20-30 USD » What race would you Want training for? Protoss » What specific mechanics of the game do you Want to learn? Best way to practice, mechanics, Macro, and game knowledge. » What kind of food would you like to have catered? I don't care, nothing like super greasy, cause I don't want my fingers slipping everywhere. (Samwhichs would be fine imo) » What balance of talking and hands-on would you expect to get? I normally don't like getting yelled at whilst playing cause it can be distracting but will help. So maybe 50/50 would work for me. Or 2games of hands-on and then a talking one. (Maybe?) » Any specific FL players you'd like to see? Hmm, CatZ is like the only FL player I know. I don't know many FL players :/ EDIT: I'm ranked in Silver (like rank 20), but I'm going to mass ladder tonight. | ||

4-6 hours seems good. I'd stay longer if needed. » How much would you want to pay? $30-60 » What race would you want training for? Terran » What specific mechanics of the game do you want to learn? Multi-pronged aggression,Timing Windows, new builds, and better understanding of the game's mechanics. » What kind of food would you like to have catered? Anything delicious. » What balance of talking and hands-on would you expect to get? Coaching while playing, reviewing replays, cross coach/student interaction. » Any specific FL players you'd like to see? Spades, not really many other Florida Terrans. | ||

unless you want it to be more of a hangout/club/practice group, which should work without much preparation needed Also, when you are asking about "mechanics", i think you mean abilities/skills. Mechanics include: Kiting a ultralisk with a drone, Stutter-step (animation cancel) micro, moving a worker through units, back-space to inject larvae. I really don't think people would want to learn this, as you can easily search this up. Mechanics are not macro, harassment, etc., but how you translate your will to the game. | ||

In other words, try to deliver the best of both worlds in the most engaging setting possible. | ||

I'd like to collaborate with those who are -really- interested first and get to know the crew some more. You can find more info about tomorrow's event here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=145915 Yeah I should be there. I think this will be awesome if it goes through. | ||

To those who are coming out there today - I need to run some errands and I should be at the LANCenter at around 4:30. See you then! | ||

My goal was to have a portion of this split up to where in the beginning you'll get some general powerpoint slides/demos which can have stuff like tips from the pros about factors outside of the game, a little bit of sc2 history, sites that the pros commonly visit to get better, etc. That shouldn't take too much time as it isn't the most important stuff in the world. After that I wanted to split into different groups for each race and have a more personal instructor/student interaction. In other words, try to deliver the best of both worlds in the most engaging setting possible. Ah, good idea. So you can have them play against each other while coaching them eh? sounds efficient | ||

My suggestions, have it catered to all leagues. I'm a mid to high diamond player, so there is a lot I need to learn but usually when I use resources like Noobie Tuesdays or other learning devices it is really basic knowledge. Something that might be very cool, is having a weekend even that would show what it would be like in a gamer house, practice schedule, coaching, all that jazz. *Edit to fill in the info* » How long would you want it to last? At least 5+ hours, you can't fit in much knowledge with anything less. » How much would you want to pay? $30-45 » What race would you want training for? Terran » What specific mechanics of the game do you want to learn? Multi-tasking (apm building?), strategy, timings, general tips. » What kind of food would you like to have catered? Really anything, you could even get away with some cheap pizza, I would accept no food iif it means a lower price tag. » What balance of talking and hands-on would you expect to get? One on one coaching time would sell me for sure, I think that's very important. As well as live coaching a replay analysis. » Any specific FL players you'd like to see? I think Sheth lives in FL? I'm not too sure of many FL players, but any as long as they are knowledgeable and personable. | ||

Some thoughts: I wonder if it might be best to split players up into different groups according to skill level, as lower-level and higher-level players will be looking for different advice. Maybe bronze/silver level players will be able to learn together about some very basic strategies and game plans and overviews of unit roles, while gold/platinum learn how to review replays and tighten up their build orders, and diamond players delve deeper into each of their race's individual matchups to figure out what they're missing. I worry that teaching everyone together, even when alternating material between skill levels as the day progresses, might lead to an unsatisfactory experience for everyone. From my experience helping friends from bronze to masters, I definitely worked with each differently and hammered home different concepts depending on their league. Furthermore, with the higher level players, there may be challenges only in specific matchups - for me, it's ZvT at the moment. Perhaps classes focused on those matchups for the higher-level players will really help. I think the idea that I'm getting at here is a bunch of simultaneous sessions focusing on different aspects of the game. Unfortunately, I would imagine this makes logistics a lot more challenging. As a masters Zerg in Orlando, I'd be more than willing to help out. I've been to a couple LANKnights events and attend UCF, so I'd probably come anyway just to hang out and I'd see about bringing a couple of my friends from the area. | ||
