Someone with connections with hotel deals, venue deals, t-shirts or other merchandise, hardware, etc. Pretty much anyone willing to help us help esports by keeping business within the Starcraft community while also allowing organizers to save money via discounts.
Advertisers (people who want to promote sc events like ours on reddit, twitter, etc.)
Just a useful starcraft loving e-sports fan!

If any of you are looking to put on your own events are are looking for help let us know! We have been working closely with z33k.com, a great site for hosting tournaments and brackets and very community oriented and also have many player and caster contacts.

I have been brainstorming up a side project which will put other organizers like myself in touch with useful people in the SC community and provide you talented viewers with a way to contribute to the esports scene. This will be a kind of "TL yellowpages". If for some reason your grandparents passed away leaving you their fortune and $5000 to be used to host a SC LAN in say Seattle, this is where you would go to find: a venue, casters, players, brackets, advertising, graphic artists, t-shirts, hotel deals, and on-site help.

I have a broad range of contacts and will be somewhat involved in the upcoming LAN in St. Louis and a potential one in Florida.

I would be most interested in helping high platinum players and above improve their strategies, timings, and general game play. I am probably better at refining play styles than teaching opening builder orders etc. but don't hesitate to contact me either way! I feel comfortable being able to improve your skill regardless of what race you play, what rank you are, and how much background knowledge you have. : )

For now I will be charging $20/hr. Just send me an email with your: rank, race, bnet name/ id, skype name, general issue or what you would like help with, how long you're looking to be coached/when you are available. It is also helpful if you send a replay and perhaps have a friend available to practice against. (If you are masters i can find practice partners but my list is full of top200 level players almost exclusively so its more difficult finding practice partners in other leagues)

If you're interested in coaching/lessons, I'm interested in coaching any race. For now, I would prefer diamond league zergs or below, or Platinum league terran/protoss to ensure I can give you the best attention possible. I plan on picking up my games in 1v1 ladder, so once I enter the master league, I will drop the requirements for any league and offer teaching anyone. We can focus on high level play, low level build orders, and general skill refinement to find what exactly is holding you back. I encourage players to try out new styles, and focus on overcoming whatever specific problems they may have.

Lessons are $20/hr and will always be casted. While some think this discourages people from buying lessons, I think everyone deserves to learn to be a better player, and I always try to throw helpful commentary and analysis into my casting. The personalized coaching, focusing on a single player's flaws and strengths, clearly helps the student more than anyone.

If interested, e-mail me and we can figure out a time that works for both of us. I'll be posting my schedule on http://ascendtv.com eventually so people can see upcoming shows, coaching, and whatnot.
