EPTWhat I've also noticed is that a lot of the EG guys seem to (despite all being together) mostly just spam ladder games all day. Im sure they at least look at replays together once in a while, but isn't the idea to be playing each other most of the time? Working on each other's games to improve as a team? The house is pretty awesome, but as far as I've been keeping up with EG (which is meh, I'll admit) the "training house" doesn't seem to serve much purpose other then having everyone under one roof.

I've been thinking the same thing, but i think that is just because they dont want to show anyone their practice. They stream ladder games for the public, but after that i think they would practice with each other non stop to get the best practice possible, and they have an even number of people so they could have a partner each! | ||

It could be even lower than that, ive heard of places that are around 100K due to the recession | ||

If the same evaluators did the EG house, it's probably around 150K above the actual value :D | ||

That place is seriously bad ass. Still one wonders if all that luxury is beneficial to the training. I mean for their morale it is but this can also undermine your training. | ||

Wanna trade? No swap backs. I know it seems like a bad deal for you, but haven't you always wanted to be slightly more like DeMuslim then you currently are? | ||

The house is pretty awesome, but as far as I've been keeping up with EG (which is meh, I'll admit) the "training house" doesn't seem to serve much purpose other then having everyone under one roof. They have it set up into two 4 hour sessions which are mandatory. One is spent on ladder/streaming and the other is custom games. Then most guys take another break, but go back to doing something sc2 related usually. This is what I've understood from most interviews they've given. DeMuslim said he trains 12-14 hours a day in the EG house and it wouldn't surprise me if others are doing the same. I'd bet most are putting 10+ hours in a day. Also I was watching DeMuslim's stream the other day and could hear Geoff in the background fulfilling his coaching duty. He was watching the guys play and just coaching, it was cool to hear and I don't think Geoff gets enough credit for that. DuMuslim said Geoff has been really helpful too. | ||

Well I remember SOTG where incontrol said something about Idra having like 20 games in a day w/ puma. Puma also plays a lot of games w/ notable koreans, while in the house. I'm sure there are a lot more stuff they do, that we don't know about, at least in terms of practice. | ||
