[PiG]

Hey guys!

Just wanted to announce that I don't have any interstate/international tournaments for over a month so I'm back to my old schedule of being free pretty much all the time! I am back to 100% dedicated time to my coaching and will be bringing the old quality of service which may have slacked off over the last month!

My rate is still just $20/hour with extra time if you get the packaged deal, but as I push further into the international scene and my time is limited by tournaments this price will be forced up so get in while I'm still cheap! (^.o) :P

Also many of you still have paid hours of coaching which you haven't recieved so please message me to use these up soon .



What Has PiG been up to?

I've been travelling alot recently, in the last few weeks I won the Brisbane WCG qualifier, went to Guangzhou to compete in IEM (got pwnt) and travelled to the Gold Coast to play in the WCG National finals where I placed 3rd (managing to beat 3 of the terrans who have caused me endless problems in SEA tournaments: Iaguz, YoonYJ and Rossi).

I have signed up with Tt eSPORTS as their SEA sc2 rep and now wear a 'Tt' tag on my account. They are looking like a really great sponsor (they are the guys that sponsor Whitera, Sen and many other international players and teams). I've created a facebook page for myself aswell as a twitter and started building my social networks through these also:

Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/altpig


At the moment my stream is still limited to coaching due to lag problems but I am determined to upgrade so you guys can watch me play korean ladder where I have started to face many highly ranked Korean grandmasters including a few of the code S and code A players. This weekend I will definitely upgrade my PC even if i need to borrow money to do so. Then I can bring you all the Korean and NA action .

I'm broke ... (Edit: I borrowed some money and my old coaching guys + some new ones are coming back to me so I should be back on my feet soon! Sorry for the QQ message I was tired and stressed!)

On the topic of money, I'm completely broke. Travelling around and training all the time rather then coaching has cut into my savings (Guangzhou especially, had to pay for everything; flights accom etc.). However it is starting to pay off with ThermalTake seeing my potential and pitching in with all the great equipment I need and support getting me around to future events including the upcoming Arena LAN (looks sick!). At the moment I'm faced with the prospect of upgrading my PC so that I can continue to build support for myself and my sponsors, paying rent, and paying a RIDICULOUS electricity bill. A note to the unwise, never EVER live in a house with 4 gamers that all have long showers and have tvs, pcs and laptops going at once . Doing all this with $20 in my account is seeming like an interesting challenge but I shall rise to the task!

So basically this giant whining session is saying I can level any account of any race for $$$, practice sessions too or whatever other requests you may have! Also I'm very focused on my coaching at the moment so sign up if you're interested!


Thanks to everyone who has been helping support me through whichever means whether it's getting coaching from me, watching my stream, training with me or just offering a kind word!

The biggest thanks to ThermalTake and Tt eSPORTS who are giving me the support I need to continue my quest to become a progamer! You can checkout photos of the new equipment I'm using on the facebook link above

Spent almost a year in a flat with gamers. Ate mostly Mi Goreng. Constructed complicated excel spreadsheets to keep track of obscene bill payments. Sleeping entirely optional.

I know that feel bro.

I certainly would love to be able to have weekly coaching from you but you know how random my schedule is. But I will hit you up if I find myself with time when you are available
I thinks you need a thread on TL if they allow it?

[inFeZa]

"get a job ya bum"

(Good luck with the coaching!)

[Maynarde]

I can definitely vouch for this guy, I personally haven't had his coaching but I'm a regular viewer of his stream. He's really manner and easy on his students no matter what the league, he's a good teacher, he's smart, he's handsome, buff, fit, has sexy glasses, likes to... Whoops, got sidetracked there.

Call PiG for a top notch coaching session, I've seen many of them and the student always walks away afterwards that little bit extra gosu

[ZergGirl]

How much for you to farm 700ish wins on my account? can drop to bronze npnp thx

[Cyanide]

"so get in while I'm still cheap"

lol?

[TAEdgE]

how much for 4 lessons

[TAEdgE]

how about we zvz/go over zerg replays for 6 hours and somehow get money from that

[HuT]

One of the best Zerg players in SEA and super nice guy, highly recommend any Zerg users take him up on this.

Hmm true I should start posting on other forums thanks for the reminder! Tomorrow I will make it my goal to go post bnet forums, TL, Reddit, cybergamer and so on!

hmm a ZvZ spectacular!! Haha once I upgrade my PC we should definitely do that I've been wanting to host special little events with other top players aswell as maybe a weekly replay analysis thing/imbalance/strategy talksies while watching reps.

Next week then man?

Those sorta things though I don't make money from just want to add alot of production value/good content so that my stream is worth watching and I can get featured on TL. Will all be part of my quest once my PC is upgraded . Any money from such an endeavour will come months or even years later though through partner deal and ad revenue (not alot!).

.


oh and your other Q:

My package deal for 4 hours is you get bonus extra 10-15 minutes (25%) on each lesson (often end up being alot longer) just for having paid and booked them all ahead of time. So same $20/hour rate applies.

You don't think $20/hour is cheap?

I put in alot more time then just 1 hour per coaching session preparing documents, answering questions outside of lessons, hooking up people with practice partners, giving general advice etc.

I'd like to see a player as active and accomplished as I am offering coaching for the same price.

Perhaps what annoyed me about your post was the "lol?"

Sounds like you're just being non-commitally sarcastic for no reason. It's not even clear what your post is trying to say. are you laughing or mocking? Which part specifically. Make a clear post please.

My NA account is Destiny and I offer coaching to players of all skill, from those in bronze league up to mid-level Masters players. I can give lessons to players from either the NA or EU server. My current rate for teaching is $100/hour or $175/2 hours, and I’ll accept anyone interested.

I am of the opinion that PiG's coaching is cheap.

nirvAnA:

Not to mention PiG is alot better, just nowhere as famous.

[Intoccabile19]

Hey guys,

As someone who has been coached/getting coached by PiG I can assure you that his lessons are great! He puts time in before even starting the lesson to make sure he has an understanding of how you play the game and where you are going wrong (through replays etc.) and is always willing to answer some questions.

I came out of his lessons and was able to roflstomp my friend which was my aim so I say well worth it!!

[mGGDaedalus]

well I'm broke too right now haha, but when I'm not you're definitely at the top of the list for knocking the noob outta me

I think he was laughing at the cheap part, cos cheap has another connotation other than "not expensive" in Singapore. Cheap is something that is commonly used to describe sl*ts and stuff.

	PiG:	Ahhh Thankyou! Was confused :)
	Cyanide:	thanks. Admittedly, I could have been clearer.

The question mark denotes either:
-confusion at whether or not it was a double entendre
-sarcasm
