Probably taking care of bills and stuff, coordinating sponsor events and so on. Edit: The last part would probably make her somekind of a team manager, so not sure. | ||

Even if your hypothesis that players who joined EG went into slumps because they trained poorly was correct, it wouldn't matter because they just recently changed it by changing the players environments. Anything anyone is saying about the impact of the EG house on team EG performance is speculation (which is still fine and interesting I think) when there's been relatively little opportunity to demonstrate the impacts. It's been what, 2 months? 6 weeks even? There's obviously an initial boost from going into a professional lifestyle in a professional environment, but the champions aren't formed overnight. It's the ability to gut out hundreds of 10-14 hour days with thoughtful and focused practice which makes the champs, and a focused practice environment is a necessary component of this.

There is one thing that does not quite add up for me... In Korea pretty much the best players get into the training houses? With EG players some players (not all of them!!!) no one has a clue why they are even 100% progamers go into a progaming house. I just wonder, and can be proven wrong by results, why half of these guys are even full time progamers... I have nothing against EG, but at the moment they seem to consist of players they bought that already were top players which most had results in advance (Idra, Puma, Demuslim, Huk) + "filler" that has not done much ever, not even in Beta while competing with people of which the majority are only "part time" progamers? Well, prove me wrong and own the shit up, you for sure got a nice place to train now ^^. I see a major overhaul of the team coming if not even this house will help... | ||

FXO and EG houses are probably as big as the team houses of all the Korean teams put together. Really pitiful in comparison. | ||

I think eg focuses a lot on having the sort of interesting personalities that sponsors love plastering their brand all over. They don't necessarily have to win the biggest tournaments, they just have to stay competitive and get as much exposure as they possibly can. That there's room for teams like eg to be making money in sc2 e-sports when they obviously aren't at the same level as korean teams just means that e-sports are flourishing. I'm happy for them, I know for a fact that they've all done a lot of hard work, much of it directly benefiting e-sportz as a whole. It shouldn't really come as a surprise that western practice regimens don't work as well as the korean equivalent either. When idra left korea he was well aware that his game would eventually suffer. | ||

Yeah they have to play a lot, and yeah I am sure that there is some pressure to preform well, but that's true for every single job in the world. Playing 10 hours a day is not hard, regular jobs are 8 hours a day, and often more "demanding" than playing. I think 9/10 people would take the deal these guys get even if they don't like gaming, because in that case it's just a job with pretty good benefits like free living arrangements. It's a lovely house, and I hope EG has all the success in the world. <3 | ||

I get what you mean. But "interesting" personalities.. Really no insult: Incontrol, for sure and does ton of community stuff and he's absolutely not one of the guys I question. But some of the other lesser known players? I know of Axlav and Machine because Incontrol talks sometimes about them and well.. Thats basically it, all i see from them is dropping out early in tournaments. Now i can't judge the worth of a player from the outside and there are probably good reasons they are progamers, I and probably many others just don't see them which makes this feel strange. | ||
