It's in every Foreigners interest to do something like this. It has been said time and time again about how playing and "living" Starcraft as much as you can is what really separates Koreans and Foreigners. I think this is a great step with NASL coming up and the best of luck to Fnatic and Root :D

Another step towards foreigners being as good as the Koreans.

Yeah this is really big for north american eSports. So we have these 4 in a house in florida, and idra and inka and some other EG people in a house as well. Anyone know any other SC2 eSports houses in NA?

wondering if another player such as KiWiKaKi will join them eventually. Great news and looking forward to their results in future events.

This sounds great, I've always felt that the skill level of top NA players was lagging a bit behind the top EU players but I'm sure this will help level the playing field.

NA pride, woo! (none of pro players born in NA)
T.T

eSports house should rock though, nice not to go to korea for it.

Thought Idra said in an interview he was going to move in with Machine and someone else in EG? Is that consider a pro-house?
Well, as long as people are living together and playing starcraft competitively, it is!!

Super cool to see foreigners setting up houses.

Am I the only one that think mixing teams like this is going to cause some friction and players switching teams though?

So very cool; awesome that there is also racial split .. 2 T 1 P 1 Z should allow for some awesome practice regimes

The age-old argument for SC2 has been that Korean training > Foreigner training.. and that is the difference between Koreans and Foreigners.. Initiatives like these should close the gap! go go!

8 hours? Make it 12 and you'll have the possibility of keeping up the Koreans, assuming you have the approach to the game itself as they do, aside from practice~

Great initiative though, hopefully we'll get more of these practice houses where people can live and breathe StarCraft. EG practice house in Arizona, TL practice house in Sweden (gogo!), lets keep it rolling people!
