Overall the house was an amazing experience but there were some definite drawbacks. Probably the most significant one to me was the lack of privacy. All of us lived our lives in a glass box. We practiced eight hours and spent most of our free time in the gaming room together. The guys slept in bunk beds in close quarters while Flo had her own room. The bathroom/shower unfortunately didn’t have a door and a small curtain was its stand-in. From the start, I had absolutely no problem with this since we were all close-knit friends and teammates. Besides the fact of no safe place for fap-time, I barely even noticed. But after living everyday this way for a few months, it wore me down mentally. It started to get to the point where I was stressing out and becoming irritable. Everyone, and I mean everyone, no matter how stressful their day job is, has at least an hour or so at the end of the day alone to unwind and relax. I definitely took that small luxury for granted. I learned to remedy this by leaving the house immediately after practice just to have some Theo-time to clear my head and relieve some stress. No, I didn’t fap in the back bushes or anything like that. So don’t get those ideas in your head you perv! Just going for solo walks to 7/11 or Target for about thirty minutes to an hour helped immensely. I’ve never really encountered the stress of no privacy before but it was a small problem that I was able to fix myself.

It's interesting how, to me (among others), we think lowly of lesser skilled players (since we see top koreans every other hour these days), but yet they work just as hard, and put just as much effort and whatnot. Was a good read, def have some more respect for you guys

Merlot is so much better. This is all I could think to say after reading the whole thing. I mean, seriously.

I guess in the end all you can do is be thankful for having the opportunity to live the "progamer" life for a little while.
