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:
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
