There is a built in minimum latency of bnet, so as long as you are below that you have 0 lag (in the sense that it's impossible to play with less; obviously there is lag, just like there is lag when the image has to travel from the monitor to your eyes). The distance from Malaysia to central US is a little less than 15000km. Light travels 15000km in 50ms (300,000km/s). Someone mentioned 125ms and 150ms as the minimums on bnet. It is by no mean a physical impossibility to achieve the minimal lag allowed on bnet. In any case we should focus on how awesome this is for fxo, and how nice the house looks. Obviously it is playable on all servers as fxoboss assures us, and extremely good connection to kr ladder (which I assume will be their ladder of choice). Even if the delay turns out to be 65ms and not the 50ms that we were promised so what? Looking forward to seeing more pics and (hopefully) vids once it is prepared for gaming. | ||

In Korea, it would probably be very expensive as well. Tickets from the U.S. to Europe/Asia are usually $1k-$1.5k easily. Most major tournaments in the U.S. take place online (NASL, IPL) and the major tournaments outside of the U.S. are much closer to Malaysia than the US. It would actually be more expensive to have a house in the U.S. and fly people out to Korea/Europe where more and more tournaments are held each year. that house while it looks nice isnt like its in LA or something. its not as expensive to rent a house in malysia as i think you believe. lets be honest no FXO players are going to be playing in Coda A anytime soon unless they recruit new players so korean tournaments are kinda out of the question now. So now they just live away from MLG's and NASL LAN as well as live far away from all the various EU LANs they have available. It would be smarter to get a house on the east coast of the US or in EU somewhere than to rent a house in malaysia. I know they are trying to make something happen there for sc2 but they should get that up and running before moving players there. i doubt many players who live in the US will want to live there for more than a couple months if there are no tournaments going on nearby. Basically im not saying the house isnt nice or that FXO isnt doing a good job, i am simply saying its far geographically from where all their tournaments at this time will be. | ||

Also, you don't even need a car to go around. FXOpen players probably have to ride bike or taxi when traveling. | ||

I think this is really cool stuff and it is obviously an awesome house which provides many players the opportunity of a life time to live in a foreign country with new experiences all while getting paid to play a game they love. FXOpen is doing a lot of good here. | ||

Although I would love to have everyones favourite players in the team, its not possible and quite unfair. Also, in order to be a part of FXO you have to get a long with all the players AND all the management. We are a family of sorts. To those asking, FXO = www.fxopen.com, one of the largest FX brokers in the world, we do other things also and are more of a conglomerate. We have over 300 000 clients world wide (Except the united states because of the laws there). We also have a few sponsorship announcements to make sometime in the near future  If u click link theres a comma at the end which is why it doesnt work just remove it and it will be fine | ||
