帕斯夸里考非 joined the 保利预科 faculty in 2010 after earning a BS in Computer Science that year. A fan of the early 2000s competitive Capcom fighting game scene, Pasquale and his younger brother purchased their first video game system together, 任天堂游戏机, and the 任天堂明星大乱斗. Melee video game for that system. Unknowingly purchasing a “fun multiplayer party game,” he came to realize that the game is quite competitive and technical, an idea which was further exemplified by observing professional gamers of this series playing at grand final tournaments.

When presented with the opportunity to coach 聚 students who were interested in the game’s latest iteration, 任天堂明星大乱斗. 最终, for 聚’s 的电子竞技 team, Pasquale’s answer was clear: yes. In his coaching debut, Pasquale considered what a tournament player would do to practice and developed a coaching strategy that was personalized for each player’s character and gameplay style. It also included foundational understanding of the game itself along with rules/regulations of what’s expected on a tournament stage for 任天堂明星大乱斗. 作为一名电子竞技教练, Pasquale created a structured practice etiquette, 记录结果, understanding and analyzing player strengths and weaknesses, facilitating competitive gaming habits outside of weekly team meetings, and making sure students prioritize their schoolwork and their social lives over gaming duties, and that they practice good sportsmanship and foster new friendships along the way. In reflecting on the inaugural season, 帕斯夸里说, “This is something everyone in the educational field strives for and hopes for their students to be able to eventually learn to develop on their own—being self-aware in an objective light, and making the necessary changes and doing the work or to further their true potential throughout their lifetime; while still being able to showcase their talents in a humble manner. Developing a roadmap of how to better prepare for different match scenarios, and seeing the students’ talents and skills progress from where they started until the end of the season, was a truly novel and rewarding experience.”
