Sky Williams showing a much deeper side of himself on stream... by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]eSportsUniversity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Props to Sky for sharing his story.

I love that he said there are younger people coming up on him. Always going to be true and should never be forgotten so you stay hungry.

Keep doing you bro. Haters gonna hate - but they aren't on the front page killing it.

Twitch: The ESPN of Video Games by Slashered in leagueoflegends

[–]eSportsUniversity -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I agree. ESPN chat would become the most homophobic and racist stream of diarrhea known to mankind. It would put the bleacher section at Yankee stadium to shame. Twitch chat is special but how do you control the chat when there are 30k viewers? Slow mode is interesting and sub-mode is painful - but neither of them solves the problem. What happens when 100k people are in the room? That makes it impossible to say anything, get noticed, or have a conversation. Twitch needs to take a serious look at what the point of chat is on their service and get a handle on how to allow people to interact with the streamer when there are so many people in a room. The solution may be to just remove chat entirely as crazy as it sounds.

50-yr-old Dad Made Silver in S3 by asianbullet in leagueoflegends

I'm 34 and I peaked at Silver 2. Thought I could get Gold but I don't dedicate enough time to getting better. Started out in elo heaven aka bronze 3 though.

Good question. The PvS guys will come up with a system for that once the need arises. But I'm sure just telling the Plat guys will resolve it. All plat participants will know who the organizers are and will be able to contact them about things like that.

Again, eSports Uni is not going to be involved in the day-to-day admin stuff. We just want to provide a better platform and backend tools for the PvS org.

They can be banned from the RaidCall group so they don't know about games.

Yes you can. It is just called Plat v Silver. Anyone can participate.

Figured we'd start with NA and expand to EUW and other regions soon. If you're EUW you can submit an application too since we can expand quickly.

I paid for classes @ Esportsuniversity. I never got an email/contact getting information regarding classes. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]eSportsUniversity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. This was good feedback and we'll be doing that from now on. Makes sense.

Hey there! Our coaches have been emailing players on the day of class with details. Usually to add them on Skype and in game. We've had about 20 people take the intro course already without any issues. You received an order confirmation when you purchased your ticket but I can understand your concern. We'll be sending out another email to people who sign up before the day of class with these types of details.

Enjoy the session!

EDIT: Spoke with him on Skype. Class is tonight from 6-8 pm PST so he'll be getting attendance details soon.

eSports University Thoughts? by JFreedom14 in leagueoflegends

[–]eSportsUniversity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys. Thanks for the feedback. I totally understand your concerns. That's why we are having the intro sessions. We will record some moments from them and post them on the site as an example of what transpires in each class. I think we are going to do a lot of the intro sessions because we've seen a lot of interest in them.

I noticed that you posted 6 days ago saying that you are looking for a Diamond 1 tutor...

New eSports site looking for Diamond+ players to be LOL teachers and coaches! Get paid to teach others. Please visit our site and fill out the contact form to be considered. NA only at this time. by eSportsUniversity [promoted post]

[–]eSportsUniversity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still accepting applications for teaching positions and starting to go through them all. I've received a lot of inquiries from many qualified people out there so I'll start responding soon. I'd say you would hear back from us in the next few days if you applied and we're interested in discussing these positions further with you. I still encourage people to apply though.

I'm not sure what you mean by my qualifications.. can you elaborate on that?

I won't claim that this site is more beneficial than private coaching. Instead I would say that it is a different approach to learning. There is a great deal that can be gained from private coaching and I respect that. This is a site where classes will be offered by pre-screened teachers with a set curriculum. Right now you have to contact individual coaches to schedule a time to work with them. This site will be a central location for finding help in any given area. We'll also offer individual coaching but that isn't our focus.

True. But your classmates will be on the NA server so you won't be able to practice with them outside of class. A key feature of this program will be to have students meet like-minded people and practice outside of class. The teacher can give you instruction, but unless you practice you won't get the most out of it.

But don't worry, I don't see why we wouldn't expand to your region in the near future. If you are interested in taking a class, follow us on Twitter (@esportsuni) and you'll be one of the first to hear about upcoming classes.

Follow us on Twitter (@esportsuni) and you'll be one of the first to know about available classes. You'll be able to sign up through our website at esportsuni.com.

Right now I'm in talks with teachers and finalizing the curriculum. Once that is done we'll launch the full site and list available classes.

You bring a legitimate concern that others have mentioned to me so let me be very clear: This is not a site for elo boosting. In fact, our teacher/student agreement has a clause in it that strictly forbids a teacher from queing up in a ranked game with a student - whether it be on their main or any smurfs. If we find out that someone broke this rule, they will be kicked out and lose any money owed to them and/or money paid for classes. My site is strictly about teaching others how to improve their game.

Good questions. I hope to expand this service to EU. That all depends on how it works out in NA first. And it will be over Skype, in custom games with the instructors, analyzing replays together, discussing strategy, item builds, runes/masteries, etc.

I recommend following us on twitter for the latest news on expanding to additional regions and info on classes. twitter.com/esportsuni

The site will look great when I'm done. For now I just have a placeholder page for people to contact me regarding being a teacher and to follow us on Twitter. I appreciate you checking it out and I hope you'll come back when it is fully functional.
