Is it true that Sheth gets aroused from playing with the keyboard on his lap and needs more privacy to rub one out between games? Need FXO official word on this one.

This.

I read through most of the thread (I probably missed a page or two) and this is the first person I saw to post it lol. Fnatic or Team Dignitas seem the most likely to me tbh :3 Team Dignitas doesn't really have many very strong zergs (They only have Killer right?)...but they also just did sign TanDongHo.

EG really doesn't seem that likely to me, especially with the PuMa thing :/

Dude, I don't call it a sweatshop because I hate the people, or because that's the "norm" in Korea. I call it a sweatshop because, from what I've seen in the Artosis tours, these progaming houses are freaking gaming SWEATSHOPS. These guys train 12 hours a day in tight conditions, sleeping on single-mattress bunk beds like a bunch of children. Sure, guys like MC and Nestea are VERY well-compensated for their time, but imagine being one of the sub-Code-A players just trying to make a name for himself, and making next to no money for the extreme devotions of time and effort made toward the game. Some of these kids are like 14 and 15 years old, "working" 12 hour days in confined spaces for little to no pay. That's a sweatshop dude!

Now the obvious counter-argument is that these kids are all chasing their dreams, trying to live out the "glamourous" life of a progamer, touring around from tournament to tournament and raking in big cheques. Ok, cool, if that's their perogative and goal in life, then they should go for it! More power to them. But you can't sit around in the comfort of your home and fault a guy like Sheth for not wanting any part of that. I love SC2, and I sure as hell wouldn't want any part of that! Sheth clearly enjoys eating his mom's home cooking, relaxing on the couch, and making a modest living playing SC2. Just because he doesn't want to live his life in a pro-house doesn't give you or anyone else the right to judge, let alone insult, him.

I think you really need to step back and think about what a sweatshop is..and then compare that to what us adults call "jobs"..and then compare that to what a pro-gaming house is. Two of the three are ways that people earn a living, by doing things they really would rather not do, for the most part. The 3rd is a place where kids can get all their needs provided for, for free, while earning money on the side.

Are pro-gaming houses lavish mansions with incredible amenities? Of course not. Are they any worse than your normal college fraternity where you share a rack room (where all the bunk beds are) with 50 other guys? In most cases, no. Gaming houses are very utilitarian, and efficient for what they're meant to be. The players basically have no responsibility to provide for themselves, they only have to be responsible enough to practice playing video games for the majority of a day. What a brutal life. I'm sure we're only months away from the 3AM Sarah McLachlan TV ad for "Adopt/Save a starving gamer"..right?
