today i finally announce that i gonna move into a huge flat which i will use for all my future plans (for example the next HomeStoryCup end of june)
Its probably the biggest step i did so far in my life and hope to build up a huge thing for eSport.
The Video right now is in german but i try to subtitle it ( i miss someone who can help me with that)
Just some information for you. i gonna have 2 rooms for gamers and 1 room is a studio plus one more where i people can work and help me out with all the organization while the cup is running or a show.
The Flat is almost 190m² and i will also live in it and try to invite all people who are intrested to come over and practice at my place and already some players signed up to do that on a regular basis.
Have fun watching it : )
Would like to get your feedback and if you wanna get informed with future videos how the flat looks like in a few weeks you can like me on youtube or facebook. www.facebook.com/TaKeTV would appreaciate it : )
I hope it isnt just a 1th april fool. Otherwise great next big step for TakeTV. Go on! Maybe you can invite the whole EPS progamer to live with you in this flat

Woah, thats awesome, that place looks very big, its not like your old apartment was particularly small either.
I loved the Homestory cup, the HD stream was quite good even though it crashed but a couple of times, it was nice to have a cheap price (I believe 2.50 euros) to see 16 of the best european players face each other. Can't wait for the next one.
For everyone who thinks its april fools, its not. I can confirm it as I'm friends with TaKe and we talked about it yesterday :-) can't wait till he shows me that ! So baller :D!
did you win some money in the lottery or how can you afford to pay the rent for such a huge apartment? pretty sure it can't be owner-occupied because i own a 77m^2 flat and they cost a lot right now.
btw in kellys interview mOOnglade said that he will be participating in the homestory cup 3.. hopefully he will be at takes place :D gonna be legen....dary
Really awesome! I was watching the vid and I got nerd chills! I wish you the best of luck for your future. And please keep us updated with more vids on the progress

Take, I have to admit, I don't like you commentating games - maybe this is the reason I like the HomeStory Cups, because you are just co-commentating "behind" rotterdam, socke, etc. - but I also have to say:
YOU ARE THE MAN!
eSport needs people like you! Maybe I'm going too far, but you are quite a "German Day[9]" or something like that: you are dedicated to eSports no matter what's happening and want to make it big! Thanks for that!
For your redecoration, maybe you could take a picture of "all" rooms by a camera every day (or even hour or so) and in the end - when everything is finished - make a little video how it all happened!
Also: I'm currently (and will be a little bit) in France for work and Cologne Krefeld (I figure this flat is in Cologne!? DeVo gave it away ) is quite 300km from my place, but damn, if you need someone that paints the walls at a weekend, give me a call! Just need a couch or mattress to sleep on (and some beer for payment )

Seriously? How the hell can it be that cheap? I paid 590€/month for a 23m2 studio in Helsinki. For 1000-1200€ youd probably get something like a 50m2 apartment in Helsinki (good location).

But Helsinki is a city you want to live in, Krefeld most likely not (if you are not from there).

Depends... getting beer will be much cheaper in Krefeld too!

@Devo - wow thanks, you found that location like a boss. CSI agent for sure
@bRuTaL - it all depends on where you live. Where i live, for 590e a month, you can rent 300m2 ez.

Good work!
Man thank you that you are honest and for the offer but well all this parts are already planed and my family helps me out alot with all this stuff : P this part is already 100% planed
Great stuff. Hoping for some really awesome events!
I really like the unique content you are pushing. I am sure many appreciate this more informal approach to tournaments. Makes the players and the stories around them so much more accessible. GJ so far and looking forward to new awesomeness coming from the studio!

I remember there was some promise about Goody agains ClouD in a BO9 ... Thanks to Goody this will only take about 5-6h, so would be a good start
Thats so great Take I´m lokking forward to all what you are doing in future I wish you the best luck for the future, you are probably the best what has happened for german esport ever
Dennis I can not thank you enough.Esport need people like you to grow.I have great respect for you, how much work you put in. Esport will grow in the next few years even more because of people like you.
Fukin hell that is truly a gaming mansion! U could arrange 16 players tournament there easily? I've enjoyed a lot of the previous homestory cups. This is going to be awesome.
this looks and sounds really amazing! cant wait to see the place when everything is finished. but as many others, i also wonder about the rent. an apartment of that size must be 1000 € per month at least, if not more. does ESL really pay that well, so you can afford it or do they maybe support that whole project? a little clarification would be nice

He is saying that the next cup will have ~30 players at his new place ":D
If you still need help with translating from German to English for Subtitles, just send me a PM and I will help So glad to see this coming for you, ESL and most of all, Germany! This is a big step for my home country towards becoming one of the great eSport countries
HomestoryCup III will be from 23-26 june and just to name some players: IdrA, HuK, JinrO, Socke, TLO, Dimaga, Tarson, DarKFoRcE, HasuObs, White-Ra, ClouD, BratOK, DeMusliM, Kas, ToD, Grubby, mOOnGLaDe
He also found his own company and now gets hired by the ESL. Perhaps I can translate it tomorrow, but for now I m too tired. Sorry guys
edit: It is not 100% sure that all of the players mentioned above will attend the event but chances are high sorry I missed that in the first post

You have to mention that he states in the prior sentence that he isn't 100% about all the players yet.
homestory cup 3 aside (amazing news btw, i cannot wait), this house is the 2nd progaming house in europe, for a total of 3 (Root/fnatic in Florida, Sweden, Germany)

errrrrrm..... :s
He said 2nd in Europe, 3 in all.
Also I don't even speak German but I end up watching Takesen so much because often times no one else is streaming.
IdrA and HuK in the same room at homestory cup.....the internet would probably explode.
I really, really hope everything works fine, esports needs people with your dedication AND experience. I especially hope that you don't run into any financial problems that make you regret this big step.

Wow this is great! Good luck in the future! Could you do another tour once you are all settled in? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested to see that. ---Oops missed the bottom text.---
dont understand german but having seen the homestory cup and how good it's been in your, relatively, small appartment I can only imagine it's gonna get all the better. Congrats and gl in the future take!

Take y u so awesome?!

"Außerdem zwei oder drei Koreaner, auf deren Entscheidung ich noch warte, wo es aber tendenziell eher gut aussieht."
he also invited 2 or 3 korans, who are not confirmed yet but he is rather confident about it

no names yet, just "2-3 koreans"
maybe the ones who played at IEM? dunno... at least moon would make sense since take is a former wc3 pro himself
doesn't really matter though, even without koreans homestory cup is going to be wtfawesome

he thinks about 30 players will be there
I can see that the place is huge but can it really accommodate around 30 people living there for a weekend?
@FliedLice: Take was a WC3 pro? You're not referring to mTw.Tak3r are you?
Take was mostly known as SK.Take, a human player. He also created the SK talent squad which helped XlorD to become a very good WC3 player (EPS champion).
Imagine Idra+Socke+White-Ra casting a PvZ ... pls make it happen Take.
Naruto, Goody and Mondragon need to be there too... Having Tyler would be great too but i think if he was attending you would have mentioned him in that list.... anyway the tournament will be pretty awesome if everything runs smoothly
June 3rd - June 5th: MLG Columbus June 18th: GSL Super Tournament Finals June 18th - June 21st: Dreamhack Summer 2011 June 23rd - June 26th: Homestory Cup #3 It's June, baby ... gonna be gooooood (Dreamhack-Homestory will be a perfect roundtrip tournament-tour for these Koreans) Good luck, Take, can't wait for what will grow out of your efforts
Thanks for linking really nice watch. Video is about the construction, destroying walls, making walls, painting stuff like that. What I liked the most is when he showed the view outside. What a beautiful location. With all the dust I do think you should wear one of those simple mouth pads, and for painting as well ofcourse, don't know if they are doing that but it's healthy right? Dust and paint chemicals are really bad I think. Anyway good luck and hope you can continue making good progress, gonna be sick when it's all finished.
