| You can get better by just using some of the builds on Liquipedia and trying them on the ladder. |

If it's free it's for me. Nothing like adding to the community knowledge-base with pro-tips.Last edit: 2012-08-16 06:36:24 |

I think this is a great idea, but my concern is the new content won't be consistent. I've joined similar websites in the past and always had a bad experience where the content would never be updated or if I posted in a blog, I would never get a response.
Price is great, Idea is great, hopefully execution will be great.

I think the younger skilled guys in this site that are in masters etc.. think everybody has that many time and are able to put in the hours and effort into their SC2 training like them..
Many people have children, girlfriends, work or simply don't have the skill and time to learn from themselves.. What is wrong with some pro tips? What's wrong with paying for a service that you want?
Why take the bus when you can walk?
Why have a iphone when you can have a nokia for 20€?
Why have a Levis pants and you can have pants for 5€ in the chinese store?
Why have a gaming mouse when you can have one for 2€?
Maybe because it's easier, better, more confortable etc..
This is a service, if you want it you buy it, if you feel it's not worth your money and time just let it be for everyone that needs it..Last edit: 2012-08-17 23:32:25 |

$15 a month for content thats available literally EVERYWHERE for free? Seems shady. Listing Xeris and Gretorp as 'pro players' reinforces the disengenious feel I get from this site.
You realize I was a pro-player and still play quite a bit. At the same time, Duran is a big time recruiter and scouts like crazy so he has to know what is good and what's not. I think your statement is heavily misinformed and I hope you give the site a chance as all of us put a ton of time into it.
I know you were a former pro and I know who Xeris is. Neither of you are pro-gamers and to misrepresent your positions is in my opinion disengenious and sneaky. Why not give the descriptions you just gave me? Why lie and say you both are pro gamers? Anyway, my opinion still stands that this content isn't worth $15/month. You can get accurate, detailed and functional content almost everywhere for free. I'm not sure what the appeal of this site is and what they think it offers that is so unique and worthwhile that people should pay subscription fees for it, but goodluck. edit; went to the site again and listened to the intro podcast with yourself and the site owner. The owner goes into his background into poker and how there aren't any sites in starcraft or one single site to go to get accurate information for the community to learn (huge lie, teamliquid.com??) and then says he had the inspiration to create a site to accomplish those goals. Since you've been in the community for basically ever, you obviously know what he is saying is full of shit but go a long with it. Again, disengenuous, decietful etc. This is just a side project to milk the SC2 popularity to get people to pay for content they would otherwise get for free. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, get money. Just don't feed me bullshit.
I think you're splitting hairs. Hyperbole is a pretty common aspect of advertising. Subway calls itself a "restaurant" chain, would you call them liars for not calling themselves fast food? It's just an advertising tool. Most car companies say that their car is "the best in its class" or likewise... I'm pretty sure a Mercedes sedan is better than a Kia sedan, but Kia advertises itself as the best, doesn't make it true. I'm not defending advertising methods, but I'm questioning your apparent rage at a company just following relatively standard industry standards for marketing and advertising. You might believe that SPG content isn't worth it, that's fine -- nobody is forcing you to purchase a subscription or watch content, but others might be interested.
When a restaurant says its the best the best it's legal, because everyone knows that "best" is subjective. So everyone knows it means nada (thats at least how the danish law functions).
However, saying you are a pro is a direct lie.
This is a matter of principle, and this make the 6poolgaming seem shady.

I personally feel like Idra wouldn't be fit enough to do training videos with the stupid statements that have come out of his mouth, he's obviously going to slip in some bias in the videos, I think training videos should be done by like Stephano - MC/Kiwikaki/HuK - Thorzain/MMA/MVP/MKP
Thats nonsense. IdrA has always been very professional in casting and videos. He has insane game knowledge and expresses himself very good. You don't have to like him for his rage moments but bashing him and saying he'd do biased commentary is bullshit.
This. When he isn't playing his own games "in the moment," Idra is a reallllly good caster. |
