UPDATE1: Class is going to be re-scheduled. I'll keep you guys in the loop.
Greetings!
The first SCDojo had a good turnout and the feedback was nothing but awesome! I spoke of hosting a second class for you guys and well, here we are! For those who weren't around for the first class, we had some awesome instructors for each of the races who put a lot of effort into this (whiplash, catz, spades) and although only Spades will be teaching for 2.0, you'll find our other two instructors to be quite awesome (more on that later!).
So, what is the SCDojo? It is a classroom where you get hands-on, person-to-person experience with the pros in a group and one on one setting. We start you guys off with refreshments and some door prizes as we go through some concept slides that halfway serve as entertainment and enlightenment (death by powerpoint is bad). Door prizes from the first dojo included an MLG shirt, MLG swag bag and two cases of NOS energy drink. After some slides and snacks we break out into our race groups to go over and expand on some of the concepts from the slides or address your personal weaknesses - you call the shots on this one. We will have a film group from Full Sail University doing some video of the event as well as some player interviews. Our passion is to get esports outside of the computer room and into the classroom in a fun, engaging and enlightening setting. Remember - people choose unhappiness over uncertainty. Do not settle for your comfort zone and push yourself to be better. We want you to realize this and nothing would please us more than to see you accomplish your goals. Otherwise we would be shitty teachers..
Please continue to check back on this thread and harass me for more details. I will constantly keep you guys in the loop. For now I want to just put the word out there and let you guys know up front and early that we are in fact going through with SCDojo 2.0
Below are the ever-changing updates that you want to keep checking back on ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yikes, is it? If a re-naming is in order then it shall be. He definitely got the name before this thing did. Thanks for the heads up. Now I wish I could change the text of the subjects on these forums...

Does it matter? really? I think this is a great thing!
It does! From one commentator to another, I absolutely love the contributions he makes to our community. It would be a low blow to gank that sexy dude's name! However, if he is cool with this being named that I'm cool with it. If not I may need a mod to change the subject when my crew comes up with a new name..
Yes the name is an issue I brought to Cecil before. If anyone has another sick name idea please PM me or Cecil. Till then I have dubbed it the SC2 Class.
We'll come up with a snazzy name soon. SCUniversity is one of the names mulling around. Tell you what, if anybody comes up with a really awesome name I'll knock a couple bucks off your registration. Though I'm already pretty sold on SCU
My alma mater filming is pretty neat. Wish it, as well as sc2 were around during my time there, would be fun to be a part of. Good luck, and thanks for doing things like this, truly awesome.

I unfortunately do not live in anywhere near where it's located so I will not be able to attend, but that was an excellent video that was posted at the end of the forum post, very well done. I hope the turnout is awesome!
Just a quick update. NOS is a definite sponsor. They will feed you and provide all the NOS you want. They will even give you cases as door prizes. We're working with Razer right now to see if we can hook you guys up as well. Right now SCU (Starcraft University) is the winning name for now. As soon as I get a mod's attention he can change the subject. That is, unless Artosis is okay with us using the SCDojo name.
Just keeping you guys in the know-how. If you have questions about how this is going down or if you want to help in any way just let me know. I'm going to talk with Play N' Trade games sometime in the next week and see if they can hook you guys up with some goodies as well. The more sponsors, the more you guys get.
