So you're telling me it wouldn't be difficult if there wasn't all those difficulties. I get the point.

the fact that liquid havent gotten all the players into a team house shows that there is still some disparities in the goals of liquid (i'll write about this in details at some time). Koosta to Liquid would be interesting but then Adren has to leave the team and either become a coach (thus gbjames is gone) or something.

Hasn't it been determined that team houses don't always work though, and sometimes they do more harm than good? It's not like team houses are a symbol of determination and hard work or whatever.

Cloud 9 made the mistake of waiting to see if swag would be unbanned. Liquid made the mistake of cutting fugly instead of adren, though if they actually do end up cutting both for s1mple and Koosta they are the true off season winners. CLG made the mistake of not doing enough. -FNS was a good move but trying too hard to hold onto tarik was probably a mistake. Letting tarik walk to cloud9 and signing stewie to clg would have probably been a much better move.

Koosta sticking with NME was a mistake, Roca signing early to col was a mistake although this new col lineup looks like it might possibly be the NA darkhorse with more experience.

A lot of these people simply cant see the forest for the trees.

team houses works when you have right mentality for them as in actually do your fucking job. Look at the Brazilians, they have a team house and all they do is practice practice practice. Guess what? LG is top 4 team in world, now TS is whooping NA asses left and right as a result. Hell, South Korea understood the benefits of team houses from the get go in Brood War and in league.

I agree that it worked for LG but I wouldn't be comfortable saying it's necessarily the way to go for all teams, it may have been Fnatic which recently said like bootcamping and teamhouses don't work for them. Some teams just work better in an informal climate. Part of the reason why a team house may have worked for LG is that they're one of the most tactical teams out there along with Na'Vi.

And I wouldn't be comfortable in a teamhouse with Freakazoid, I think that man is dangerous.+ Show Spoiler +

Roca signing with coL seems to be a mistake when one looks at it superciliously but I suspect Jason Lake is on to something. Don't be surprised if coL is top 4 NA in a few months

it's not going to work when you have relationships with a girl or want to have social life outside the team. Then again, one can debate the effects of having such a relationship as a detriment of playing performance

It would be preferable if players lived near each other but not WITH each other and they had a set place to go to practice before going home.

It has nothing to do with formal or informal. A team house can be an informal place too. Fnatic dont need bootcamps because at this point they are at hive mind level anyway. For normal teams being in the same environment is huge,even little things like learning how to screen watch your team mate and also pay attention to your own game effectively are absolutely massive skills to have.

You cant really do this unless you lan together all the time. For any team that is looking to improve communication and understanding there is no substitute for scrimming on lan, and for that you need team houses.

Sure why not? The top professionals in just about every competitive sport in the world don't live together but they practice together. Online practice will never match practicing together as if you were playing on lan. Its pretty obvious that tempstorm being in the same room playing online against a bunch of scattered teams was a huge advantage in terms of communication and excitement.

However, I think it is pretty obvious that this kind of setup is not 100% necessary. Not having a teamhouse didn't really stop fnatic from crushing everyone in 2015. Same with envyus.

IT IS HAPPENING!!!

I am so excited for team liquid right now. Only thing that could make this worse is if someone other than adren is cut such as them giving up on s1mple due to his twitter behavior.

They're not going to give up on s1mple. Dude is too good not too, and he didn't have media training yet (poor management). Now things are going to get good

nonononono, you guys don't get the real roster move.

Liquid is buying out NME roster; they're going to make a 10 man roster and it will be glorious!

Each dedicated role has a dedicated coach.
It's basically having symbyonts playing each position!

Teamhouses don't work for everyone, none(or few) of the EU teams even have one from what I know but they still wreck the shit out of anyone. CLG has had 1 for a very long time and they didn't get anywhere, teamhouses are not magic. It seems to work for the BR people but none of the EU people do it.

Teams like nV or fnatic bootcamp before a large event and it seems to work out just fine for them.
