I daresay these people are not so much the target audience. I get the impression (correct me if I'm wrong) this initiative is more for the people that have responsibilities (ie. have to pay for their own food somehow) but are still working hard at SC2 (and there are some out there, I'm sure). It basically gives them the opportunity to drop everything and give it a real shot. Now, if he's not already, I think MrBitter should try to gauge if the drop everything aspect will help the people he takes on. (Short list with interviews IMO) But that's up to him really. | ||

There is a house and lodging - that is a nice thing, but who is going to make anything out of a 4 month accomodation. If it is someone who lives with his parents, well he could have stayed with his parents. If not, he will probably still want to keep his original place - who wants to find himselfs kicked out of the house for some reason (or just expired after a couple of months) without any place to come back to? So at first look it seems like a bold offer, but it can actually end up being expensive for the people who accept it. And then there is this repeater banter about how people have to get to the house, is that really necessary? It seems quite obvious, that in order to live somwhere you have to get there  And if it is somewhere in the US (in contrast with, say, Banghladesh), then everyone with a half brain can get there.The "straight to the point" attitude you are trying to have is something that I like, but you are being unnecessarilly annoying in the process. After reading this post, I would not even consider going (if it were anyhow relevant to me). I guess you maybe losing some perspective people just because of that. | ||

It's nice that Razer wants to jump onboard, but if these guys are already high masters, living at home with their parents, have a pro team/semi-pro team then I don't see why they wouldn't make it on their own accord. Razer and you are pretty much giving them a place to stay and eat for 3/4 months or longer. That is nothing. It's more like you are giving them an idea of what it's like to be living in a house with players who aspire to be pros. you didn't even read comments past the first page..

This is me saying "hey, if you didn't have to worry about buying food or paying rent, how good do you think you could get?" [...] I'm pretty clearly stating what I'm offering here. I'm taking away your overhead, and giving you the chance to get somewhere. I'm not going to convince you it's worth your time, because, frankly, I don't care enough to do so. I want to help people that want this chance without me trying to sell it to them. | ||

I had no intention of responding to these posts, because, frankly, they embody the attitude of someone that I don't want in the house. But since they keep popping up I will take the time to address this issue more directly. If you feel that you can achieve whatever goals you have without trying to be a part of the Razer house, then by all means, don't apply. If you feel that regulated practice in a regimented environment amongst other players with similar goals will not help you, then don't apply. If you feel that regularly analyzing your own gameplay with other high level players looking on and offering their own thoughts won't help you, then don't apply. If you feel that getting your face on camera with Razer and me backing you won't help to build your brand, then don't apply. If you feel that having the opportunity to work on a Starcraft broadcast alongside guys like Rotterdam and myself won't help to promote you as a player, then don't apply. And most of all, if you're afraid of my tone, or if you find the way I'm presenting this annoying, then please, do not apply. You wouldn't last very long here. | ||

I realize your mom already pays for your food; it's not about that. This is a chance to actually get to act like a pro gamer. Get your shit together, people. | ||

I hope we'll see him get mad a players on stream ("HOW THE FUCKINGFUCK CAN YOU NOT BE INJECTING FOR A MINUTE - A WHOLE FUCKING MINUTE - FUCKING NOOB !!") On a more serious note, i think it's a very nice initiative, i wish all the best to the people applying and to the people already selected. If you are high master with only a few hours of playtime a day and you are willing to play more, this is an amazing opportunity to see how far you can get. I'm curious to see what will pop up of this house regarding SC2 as well as QuakeLive. | ||

And iloveoov said you need to be at least a former very high level player, preferably a real top player, to be a good coach. Anyway, stop whining, people. He's not advertising as if it's some kind of happy rainbow filled insta-turn-pro house, because he doesn't want people applying who have that attitude. He wants people who will give everything to become good. However this does raise the question, why would those people not just chill at home, because with that kind of motivation you can quickly become a pro yourself, if it's in you. The clearest upsides are, imo, that everything around you will be about sc2 so you won't get distracted and a "free" place and food might be useful to some less fortunate gamers. gl | ||

I also think it may be a bit too rigid for some people, I hope the people you select will be as motivated as you intend them to be and I really hope the results follow-through. | ||
