Every other team did shitty as well, even FXO.

You think Starcraft 2 is a team game?

yeah but FXO didn't have anyone in the pools, let's have inc, machine, lz in the open brackets and let's see how far they make it...

Being in the pools means they faced harder opponents.
Out of White-Ra's runs, only his last 3 or so opponents were actually known names, and he eventually lost to one.

I wish all the best for team EG - having a real training environment should help out the NA scene a lot. Cheers!

You can't compare gathering people before each fight to actually living in the same house his partners, coaches and trainers.
But nevertheless I agree that it's benefitial for the players, because of the imersion factor. You get to live with people that will be talking about strategies and what not all day long most likely, and you will (if it's managed properly) have training schedules, etc. But you can't expect great results without good coaching.

Seriously, where is all this money coming from? That house is massive.and it's not like LA is cheap land either.

LA?
“It’s absolutely exciting to be finally announcing the launch of our EG training house in Arizona,”

I feel EG would have been better off replacing the deadweight roster they have than buying a house to hang around in. Idra was good when he was in Korea because he was playing 12 hours a day, not because he was living alone and teamless. Demuslim was special in Beta because he was playing 8+ hours a day. They are both evidently playing significantly less recently, and it shows - regardless of them both living with and near other pro players. Having said that, I look forward to the excuses when team house has been used up
Idra was good? Im pretty sure he still is one of the best foreigners.

And the best thing... the chick comes with the house :3 xD

godamn this thread is making me jealous. My house is like 2,600 sq feet and it's ~900k
Freaking calgary, Dude, there is people in Calgary who make $60k a year managing at McDonalds. It's all relative, there is people with masters and professional degrees in Arizona who have had to move elsewhere for employment or simply cannot find work. It's not like you could move to Arizona and still making $100k a year without any education working on an oil rig like you can in Calgary. Back on topic, this is good and I hope it can help the members of EG start winning ( I don't even mean winning tournaments..just winning games in general would be a good start ) oh please, people who manage mcdonalds don't earn $60k a year. They earn as much as their american counterparts. True.
And don't think that you can even hope to compete in calgary's oil and gas market without finishing uni unless your dream is to drive trucks. It's insanely competitive. Super false in my experience. The oil and gas industry is actually one of the least competitive fields at entry level. There are a lot of jobs to go around, the majority pay reasonably well, and there is reasonably high turnover. But yes, you absolutely need a degree to play.
