who are the guys on the photo? I only recognize ToD and aLive... <.< and why does the Korean article mention NightEnd, he is not on any of those photots.
Why is carn in the picture? I thought he retired from fnatic's cs team after IEM World Championship? Does he work in some other position within Fnatic now?

cArn always liked asian girls and he also stated before his retirment that he was gonna travel around in asia after IEM World Championship, so i guess that has something to do with why he is there and i am also pretty sure he will continue to work for fnatic.

That was my initial thought as well since my appartment is 73㎡ and I'm 1 person. But I do have a lot of wasted space, depending on the layout it doesn't have to be bad at all.

you also have to compare it to the other teams' houses...
Thats really awesome. Glad other teams are taking steps to make their team that much better. It also means that there will another place for foreigners to come stay and practice hopefully which is huge if you think about it.
Edit: Anyone else had the camera guy for the video? It goes in and out of focus a lot and that is not just dramatic effect lol. Should be a little better done imo.
They don't seem too excited wait.. what ToD is smilling? Happiest day of his life? My excitement is off the roof. gogogo fnatic.. this is the first time I'm actually passionate about a team to win GSTL. The lineup looks awesome... now they just need Taeja! Also, Leenock???
They really have a cool outfit :D Hope it works out good for them!!! I'm also excited to see Rain practicing and playing more (I know he did last year, but results were kinda meh :/)
That was a ridiculously hard video to watch. The depth of field is ridiculous. I know theres something "artsy" about that, but it makes it hard to control focus, and hard to see what's going on. As a professional photographer, I know what they were going for or hoping to achieve, but if you can't follow focus at all, then you just... shouldn't do it.
Nice I have to say im really interested to see how moon preforms he was a good player but not the best last time I watched him but he was splitting his time so who knows. I really hope he gets good.
Excellent news, I WILL be buying a pass to watch them in GSTL, hope to see ToD take this oppurtunity to show why he can be one of the best foreign protoss's. Only wish Grubby could join him
is there a full list of whos staying in the house? looks pretty awesome, gotta envy these guys that get to play this game for a living in an environment like that where they're surrounded by people who love the game like them and their friends and stuff
is fnatic the only foreign organization that actually opens a team house in Korea ? It's much better like this than make partnership with other teams. Also I recall from one interview that Moon, even married, lived 3-4 days in WeMade house so probably he should still do that, it will speed up his comeback to sc.

Right, now while seeing Moon not there in the house I have a feeling he might retire soon, unable to practice full time which would be necessary in order to become Code S material ´
Afterall he has a wife and a baby to take care of. hopefully Iam wrong

Although WeMade may have made him do that, what with the older Korean teams being more strict and all that. It may have been a "live here part of the time or get kicked out" kind of deal.

Yes, IEM WC was his last tournament. but he also worked as Chief Gaming Officer for Fnatic and will keep doing that in the future. He also said that he will announcing a new position in Fnatic soon and what he'll be doing in the future.
Fnatic is definitely one of the richest and most serious orgas, its amazing how they could sign all those incredible players and weeks after open a House in Korea for their SC2 and LoL squads!
So nice to see cArn there, involved with everything that fnatic does. also nice to see CS 1.6 orgas doing so well in general like Na'Vi and fnatic.
That pic with Moon and cArn together was... just amazing.
Goes to show that if it wernt for cs 1.6, there would be no almost no foundation for foreigner sc2. It seems all the decent sc2 teams not from korea made their name in cs. 1.6 > all

I feel GuineaPig would be a viable pick. They definately need a protoss and if I remember correctly when Rain first left Korea and joined fnatic, there was an interview with him at the Seoul airport. GuineaPig was there to say goodbye to him, they are probably really good friends.

Wait, what? Where was Moon in any of the pics o_0. Is there something I'm missing?

If Moon doesnt develop they would probably need to add another Top notch Code S player, and not any Code A random guy.
They do have the financial support, and right now there are TaeJa and GanZi on the market. They might observe one of them, most likely TaeJa who is currently in Code S.
They do have two decent Protoss players with ToD and NightEnD, not top tier but its not like there are currently all too many strong P players freely available right?
Still hoping for a TSL reunion with aLive, Polt and Rain all together again, but Coach Lee might get all too mad about that idea and probably kill someone :p

Sorry, but Polt will always be Prime in my heart. ;; But I am really eager to see Fnatic's GSTL performance next season!!!
What is the deal with the team picture where the front row bends over at the waist with their hands on their knees so the back row looks like they're posting up on them? Kind of a rant, but surely there is a more professional pose for a group of adults to have their picture taken. Every time I see it I can't help but think of elementary school pictures or t-ball.
Still though, its pretty sick that they are giving a kr team house a go. Hope it works out for them. E-Sports fighting!
Cool to see another foreign based team in GSTL. But dang I can't even name most of the Fnatic players anymore. Many of their oldschool players have moved on to other teams.

People talking about the living space: Remember, they don't live in a country where space is plentiful (e.g. USA). 75m2 is typical for a Seoul apartment.
It's cramped but people make sacrifices to be a pro-gamer. That's why you're not one.

GL to Fnatic!!!
Here here! Although I think that the apartment dimensions could have been typoed or misinformation, because that does not sound like it would fit the reported three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, and main room.
And oh my word, those jackets are sexy. I really hope the CEO makes another video. He was a wonderful presenter and appeared very passionate. Esports needs more sexy presentations like this, but without the over-stylized blurry-cam.
fnatic have by far the best looking cloths xD... also tod was my most favorite wc3 progamer (right after tak3r) and i want to see him more often, fnatic fighting!

There are only two desktop computer's in the house, the rest are laptops. Most of the players put their laptops next to their screens to give them Dual screen. Makes it easier when streaming etc.

I'm 100% sure it's correct - my house is around 90-100m2 but it has extra large bedrooms and fits those specifications.
Damn, I can't get over how badass Fnatic looks. I hope they can back up how badass they look in person, with their playstyle. After cheering against Rain in Open Season 3 of the GSL, I wouldn't mind a resurgence in form from him.

For the aid of anyone using the imperial system, 1m2=10.76 square feet. The apartment is a little over 800 square feet as reported.
Fairly sure it's bigger than the similarly featured apartment I live in.
