Aparently some Korean dude is taking advantage of all the recent Starcraft 2 buzz and is offering his services to make you a l33t SC gamer for $25 or $35 per hour ($35 for Advanced training).
LOL, if you have to resort to craigslist to get good at Starcraft, then I'm sorry my friend you won't even make C rank on ICCUP, cause you won't even know what ICCUP is!


From the ad:

Hi, my name is ByunTae from South Korea. I have been playing Starcraft since 1998 and I was born and raised in Korea. I'm 100% full blooded Korean, meaning I have been gifted with unparallel talent to master any video game, particularly, Starcraft: Brood War. 
I'm also experienced in Counter-Strike, I am able to perform bunny hops, my best score on a public 32 player game was 171-2 with 170 kill streak.


I'm offering my expertise in Starcraft to be taught to non-Koreans that wishes to have the skill of a Korean player. I have advised and coached many professional gamers such as Im Jae Dong, Park Myung Soo, Ma Jae Yoon, and more. Boxer and I were great friends until he started using my dropships to gain his fame. I started training other players to be on par with Boxer and eventually surpassing Boxer. He is no longer the best player thanks to my contribution to rest of the players. I did not compete in pro gaming because they KTF did not agree with my seven figure contract demand.

OMG, so you have to be 100% full blooded Korean in order to be gifted in gaming, heh:P

It's a troll, for so many reasons. The full blooded korean part was obviously a joke, and beside that there were some dead giveaways. For one, Boxer typically played alone or with much lesser-skilled friends before he started entering into tournaments. During that time is when he started using dropships. Second, 171-2 is impossible in a 32 player cstrike game; the skill gap just isn't that big.

And the biggest flag for me is the fact that "byuntae" means "pervert". ^^
