A foreign language course *is* and while English is the most widespread by far, many schools do offer alternatives and one can easily finish education without having to learn any English whatsoever. On the other hand, the person suggesting "polish / russian support" is obviously ignorant enough not to realize the sheer silliness that is his comment. | ||

EDIT: Warsaw seems to be better localization - it has better communication despite higher cos of living when compared to Poznań. | ||

It is true not every player of the three team houses you mentioned has performed very well, but at least Morrow, Haypro and Sjow has. And as for the EG players, performing much more poorly resultwise than they used to, can quite simply be attributed to the raised skill level in MLGs. You should rather look at their results against non-teamhouse players. My guess is that they improved a lot on average in that aspect. We're now at the point that if you want to be top 20 in the world, you _have_ to live in a teamhouse. But furthermore we're moving towards the point that if you want to be top 200, you have to live in a teamhouse. IMO, we saw this in brood war where any non-pro in the world (no matter how insanely talented) would have a hard time vs. any korean b-teamer. I would argue that often the non-pros far exceeded b-teamers in terms of raw talent and potential, the nature of the teamhouse and continuous work closed the gap, and then some. This, which I believe is true, leads to the conclusion that a teamhouse in Poland can only be good. As long as players are motivated, their skill will skyrocket. You don't have to play vs. the absolute best to improve (although it helps), as long as theres a big enough playerpool of motivated and fairly skilled players. Poland seems like an ideal place for pro-gaming houses. The low living costs, a fairly central location in Europe and IMO its more compatible with the western european culture (as compared to the Balkans, which are also cheap). My tip is to go for Warsaw if you're planning on bringing in a lot of non-Polish players. They'd most likely like to see and live in that city, as compared to Poznan. But if living costs, housing standards and airplane rates are much better in Poznan go for that. (Enables more teams to send players, etc.) Sc2 comes before culture in that case. Anyway, seems like a great thing to do and im all for it. | ||
