But the whole point is that they just recently overhauled their training environment. 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...

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.
