Virtus.Pro to open E-Sports School

2-6-2007 01:48

Top Russian organisation Virtus.Pro have announced plans to open an e-sports school.

The well-known Russian gaming organization Virtus.Pro has announced their new plans whereby they will be opening a new E-Sports related school for players around Russia. The announcement came from the former Virtus player, and now a coach of Virtus.Pro, Konstantin "groove" Pikiner, who said the players will have chances to get gaming tips, teaching & coaching.

There will be several groups each consisting of 10 people, and lessons five times a week. One simple course will cost $90 dollars, and it will feature teaching starting from basic skills, map studying, and some strategies. For advanced players the price will be around ~$110 dollars, and it will include such things as how to analyse the game, create some tactical linkages, or more challenging strategies.

The first courses will be led by Pikiner on the 18th June 2007 in Click-net internet cafe, which is located in the heart of Moscow, Russia.

For more information check out either the Virtus.Pro website or the Click-net webpage.

I was have the same idea 2 weeks ago to make CS school in Poland, but people in poland was not interested in that. Maybe when they will hear about that Virtus.Pro starts school, they also will try to do something like that. Vistus.Pro very good idea. Good luck!!!...

Was actually thinking the same thing, but not really for the money just for getting more skilled players in my country! :)

I was also thinking to make it for free. We have HeadShot TV in poland, soo maybe they could help to make it...but we need people who will want it. Too many looks only in PENTAGAM, what if penta will fall down? We don't have good teams in poland. That is sad :(...

2007-06-03 12:35

Think what you want... Mysl co chcesz, a w polsce twoim zdaniem kto taka szkolke poprowadzi? jak nie Pentagram to nikt, tylko pentagram jest na tyle dobry aby walczyc i pokazac klase na arenie miedzynarodowej, rosjanie maja o wiele wiecej dobrych graczy i maja predyspozycje do tego aby otworzyc szkole cs'a. Mialem taki pomysl przeszlo 2 tyg. temu a by w polsce cos takiego powstalo i nic, nikt nie byl zainteresowany, nawet jesli Virtus.Pro nie jest super to polozy wszystkich naszych oprucz pentagramu, pozazdroscic pomyslu. Virtus.Pro have very good idea...
