Today I hung out with Daniel Lee, head coach of eSTRO. He took me to the players' house to check it out. I think they were pretty uncomfortable to have a female in the house, but oh well.
It was fun - I got to watch them practice a bit and then at 4, had a late lunch with the team. All the players listened to Daniel and I talk in English and at some point I started talking in Korean.. to which they just looked up at me - in unison - in awe. It was quite silly.
i was impressed by the house. I'm not sure what I expected really, didn't really have any idea of what kinda place players actually lived in. And I'm gonna assume that most of you guys don't know either. So I will share with you - the eSTRO house.
Outside:
The players' shoes!
First room on the right:
What you see when you first come in.
Me in the livingroom:
My view of the livingroom:
Bedroom #2
Bedroom #3
Kitchen area with their cook and laundry lady
The door to the dungeon:
The stairs leading to...
Practice Room #1 - they spend 12 hours in here.
Practice Room #2 - it was hot as fuck downstairs, btw.
Sorry for so many pictures. But yeah, so that was my day.

well, you can see that they were busy practicing. I wanted to take pictures of them eating lunch but they just ate really fast and ran off to their rooms. They only get 1 hour after eating for break before going back down to practice some more.

so would you say most of them looked happy or no, and do you think it's a decent way of life or job to have. I wonder if playing bw for 12 hours a day with the same 10 people under really strict rules is mentally healthy

did you ask about idra coming and how they feel about it.
do cs team and war3 players live separately?
i didnt get to talk to the players about idra at all. daniel and i are still talking with idra right now about the whole ordeal. it's in the works.
i think the cs team and war3 players live in teh same complex. there are 5 other teams that live in that complex. i'm sure they all look the same inside.
