The Emails: + Show Spoiler +application 1: + Show Spoiler +
My name is _________ To give a little background on me, I live in Michigan, USA. I saw the thread on TeamLiquid.net. It's kind of ironic because I was just having this discussion with a buddy of mine that we should try to get an apartment together and start up our own little mini gaming house to practicing for upcoming MLG's and local lans around our area. When I saw the thread I had to email because awesome opportunity's like this don't happen very often. I want to be apart of the gaming house because I feel like this would be a great way for me to practice and play with dedicated, and self motivated driven players who want to be the best as do I. For me Starcraft 2 isn't about the money its about one day making it to a stage of a huge gaming event and looking out at the crowd of people, I could imagine there is no other feeling like it. As for me contributing I am a very nice guy and get along with everyone around me and many other things that I can't think of because questions like this always stump me! As for how much I play, I play as much as I can for the time I got now. Which is generally about an hr or 2 a day. A few months ago I placed in Diamond which was demoted for me because I was Masters previous season and I ended up playing 14 hours that day alone and 6 the next and I got back to masters. So if I can play all day I will is what I'm trying to say, but my father doesn't support it so its hard to play when I live with him. Luckily I get to go to my moms to play for many hours. I started playing Starcraft 2 back in beta phase 2 placing silver and getting Diamond when beta ended. I have played ever since with small breaks because of last year of school and trying to keep grades up because teachers wouldn't understand me failing a test to learn how to beat a 2 base roach all-in! As for my past RTS experience I played Warcraft 3: TFT. I played along side of many great players back then like BoX, arf, Cruncher, YeGGi, LadyLuck(coLRyan). Ryan and I got back a few years and I started Starcraft 2 a little after he did and he helped me tremendously. He is my mentor that has helped me when I get to hard on myself and he always believes that I have the potential to be a really good player and when someone believes in you when you don't at the time it really helps you overcome anything. To end this off I want to say that I am terrible at writing and expressing myself as I would have liked to make a video because is what I would rather do instead. I will link a video that I made to apply for Complexity's Academy last year. I really appreciate the opportunity you guys are giving someone like me to excel in what I love to do!
application 2: (seriously wtf was this) + Show Spoiler +First off i would like to say if this is an april fools joke ill be very disappointed... second if it isnt THIS IS FKIN AWESOME! my name is taylor , i am 20 years old and ive been playing starcraft overrall since 2001 when my parents bought it for me at christmas time that year. ive been playing since but not as much as i would of liked to play. but i think if im in the right environment to play starcraft all day and talk about it with other players then i think i should be apple to improve rapidly and become a better player. i live in lethbridge alberta ATM and willing to take a greyhound all the way down there.. i know this isnt detailed but i would rather talk to you in person if thats okay? maybe skype? Pros - to having my in the house. (im also a terran player whos first in his diamond league) but we shud skype! - im very clean person - i have manners and i respect everyones right to the house as much as i do. - i can cook -i can be pretty funny at times cons - i wont be in the house  application 3: + Show Spoiler + Hey my name is or EcstatiC/xoxoXTTK on TL/Bnet respectively. I've been a competitive player since WC3, where I was one of the top players on US-East and played in team leagues with players like Axslav, Perfect and MakaPrime (My first clan war was against his team). In SC2, I took over the management duty for my team after our previous manager left, and so my playing career was slightly delayed as I had other duties such as school, but even so I play SC2 every day. I've reached a Master level a few months ago, but dropped back to diamond when school got serious, but now I'm back to top of diamond with 2 seperate accounts (each in the top 3 of their division) and two days ago I won the Diamond Daily on Playhem. I'm currently the co-owner and co-head manager of the team Hugs and Kisses, and as such I spend almost all of my time on SC2 alongside top master/ gm players, and when I'm not playing, I'm observing their games and discussing strategies with them. Furthermore, I've worked as an administrator for several amateur/semi-pro leagues since SC2's release including the NGP, SGL, SCL, LAGL, ESGL and PTGL.
On top of all that, I've played AAA hockey in the GTA, and as such I've had high-level competition bred into me. Since I've stopped playing hockey, SC2 is what fuels my competitive drive, and I pour all of the energy that I can into it. I've been a member of my CSL team since the release of SC2, and last year I travelled 14 hours with my CSL to the Collegiate E-Sports Series in Indianapolis which was run my MLG and had such casters as Wolf, JP and CatsPyjamas. At that event, I posted the best 1v1 record for my team as we clinched a spot in the final bracket.
What I can contribute: I'm very easy-going and can make friends easily. I'm anti-confrontational to a fault, so I will not be causing any issues. Also I'm 6'2" 180lbs and been in a few hockey scraps, so if you need an 'enforcer' for the group, I can do that too. Currently I'm playing at least 10 games a day whenever as my obligations allow, and on free days I'll sometimes go up to 30 games per day. Furthermore, as I spend a lot of time with super-high-level players on my team, I have a knowledge of the game above my current rank, which will allow me to discuss strategies more effectively with other members of the house. Also I have a working knowledge of x-split and twitch.tv, and although my current computer can't handle streaming, I'll be able to do such tasks for the house and assist other members if they need it. I also have a large number of contacts amongst managers for amateur/semi-pro level teams, so that may come in handy somehow. (I see there are members of LgN and Clash in the house, and I am friends with LgN.Arlock and ClashKatu)
application 4: (thankyou coLgowser) + Show Spoiler + Hello, I am a a professional gamer on team Complexity, and my id is coLgoswser. I might be interested in going there for the summer. How long will there be vacancies at the house? Also can you confirm that this is not an April Fools joke.
Sincerely, __________ coLgoswser

If this is an april fools joke I will be very sad. T_T EDIT : ... "All of us are korean grandmasters " is that really what was said in the video?? If so I am very confused...
|
holy crap this is so close to home. would be sick if it isn't april fools (hopefully)
|
If this is an april fools joke I will kill someone. If not this is fantastic! This is going to provide the SC2 community with more under dogs and what not, sooooo excited for more information on this!
|
So much Ramen. Also that poker player is serious
|
This looks really exciting, I'd really like to visit and check it out.
|
If this is real I would love to visit and come talk to everyone down there. Gibson square is neat.
Edit: Didn't get to see the bedrooms in that whole complex, where are they ;o
|
DAMN I LIVE IN TORONTO.

What's the advantage of joining a gaming house such as yours?
|
Wow I'm sorry to say that but the house seems disgustingly dirty, you really need to organise chores :s
|

Free food, free housing, free chance at side cash. If it's legit its like being on a big team with a team house, just not a team and relatively unknown and new. It sounds neat, I wonder what team restrictions will be like.
|
Well I applied, hope its legit!
|
suspicious that the place didnt look like it had enough space for beds anywhere.
|
This is just an internet cafe in t.o....
|
if this is real i would love to come hang out some time
|
|
|
|
|
Really can't tell if this is a joke or not, I'm really hoping it is, truly.
|
Can't tell if April Fools.
My gut tells me yes. My heart tells me no.
|
Been there already. Will be visiting weekly. Cant wait
|
Someone needs to make an account named AprilFools and get it banned asap. If this isn't a joke, then this is pretty exciting.
|
Awesome news guys! really neat!
edit: After looking at the photos, it does resemble an internet cafe. Can you elaborate more on where they would sleep or photos of rooms?
|
lol @TDOTGaming haha, on closer inspection, this has to be an April Fools joke.
|
sent an email. hopefully this isnt a joke lol
|
Guys come on.. its obviously April Fools. This is a good one though, unlike all the other poor tries today. Esp blizz's.. but i guess its harder and harder to fool people as time goes on.
|
Video applications will be "looked at first" =)
|
edit; lol this "gaming house" is across the street from my place.
Your applicants can come over when they need to use a shower hahaha fuckin' april fools
|
|
|
If this is actually fake it's kinda dickish imho, people might put together a lot of effort in their applications...
|
Why do u guys use 2 keyboards in a setup o_O
|
Two trolls are better than one
|
April Fool's but sad... would be a nice development for the community
|
Zzz.. what has happened to believable April Fools jokes?

we actually dont know if this is a joke or not
|
It looks like a cafe...has to be a joke.
|
When are public visiting hours?

This is very upsetting if this is an April fools joke, Why? Because like one of the posters said before me , this is absolutely ridiculous to the people who actually take this game seriously / might believe this, like myself, who spent an hour or longer on my application and then turned it in, then took a second look at the video and pictures, and thought to myself "Wow...this does look like a PC cafe , there is no room's" , as some of the others said before, although I am hoping this is real, if not then shame on whoever had the horrible idea of making this april fool's joke, if this is a joke its even worse than the Eclypsia april fools joke, and i'm sure will anger a lot of people who put in time into they're applications like myself.
|
this sounds great if its real!
|
Pretty cool idea, real or not. Shame this day makes you question pretty much everything
|
|
|
Im looking for a place. Im not good by any means but id give anything to rent a place that was a "gaming house". As in... id pay to live at one of these places haha. I did go 16-2 in monobattles though... LOL http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/912285/1/Bonjwa/matches

|
looooool.. i was about to make a comment saying this looks like any other shoddy net cafe and not a gaming house...
then i realized it was april fools day and saw the update..
you got me bro.. you got me.. XD
|
I dont feel guilty at all the people who sent application got april fool'd hence the day rofl
|
This wasn't even a good April Fools joke... it didn't look serious from the get-go. Why are you acting like you accomplished anything? :|
|
Damn April fools, got me again. :|
|
I don't understand how so many people are falling for these April Fools jokes and taking them so seriously...
The majority have been very obvious if you look at the whole picture.
ie. Is it coincidence that Bomber is a fitting name for the military and he made a post about it only when April Fools began without warning? Nope! xD
Edit: If you fell for this and took time to fill out an app you probably couldn't even be fucked to watch the whole vid
|
Too bad I'm neither a resident of US or Canada, I'm one country south, Mexico .
|
LOLOLOLOL This is prob the best April Fools for the sc2 community hahahahahahahaha!

Lol this is the biggest troll ever, go to the "cell companies website". Lmfao well done April fools

I dont get it. Was this supposed to be funny?

bombers name has nothing to do with him joining the militiary, you do know that all men have to enlist in korea... a few pro gamers have already stopped playing in order to do this.

nice april fools but you took this a bit too far...
it's enough to trick them through the OP, do you really have to talk like it's actually real in the comments too? it sucks for people who actually wrote applications and made videos you know
|
This is a bit sad, actually. April Fools are supposed to be funny pranks, this seems a little on the dark side.
You probably got a lot of people's hopes up with this, just to have them dashed. I dunno. I certainly didn't find this funny.

"Hey guys, we're growing e-sports with this huge project in Toronto, Canada. You can apply here."
"ROFL APRILS FOOLS, we're not growing e-sports, fuck that "
April's fools are meant to be funny Not something awesome that turned out to be untrue. This is like a scientist going "We found a cure for cancer Do you have life-threatening cancer? Sign up for the treatment here, it's free!" to then later on go "JK April's fools, ur all still dieing ;D". Exaggerated as fuck, yes, but still the same principle. Don't make an april's fools out of something good to bring people's hopes up. It's better to bring people's hopes down like the ESL-no-koreans videos except less obvious.

will fail unless the manager is really strict. please don't let this fail .!

ya it was obviously an april fools. why would a team house have such bad players :p
|
Damn! Haha. I had a feeling this was too cool to be true. Some people seem pretty salty about it but oh well.

I think this is actually REALLY messed up that you think this is funny, I think "April fools" jokes like this shouldn't even be allowed, as there are some people who take the game seriously and are looking for an opportunity to achieve what you said you were offering, and at some point I said to myself, ok I think this is fake but I am going to do it anyways because if it isn't fake then I am going to be mad at myself for not applying, and I am sure others thought this way too. I'm glad I didn't waste any time on a video application, I hope you realize how stupid this april fool's joke was.
EDIT : I am just glad that april fool's day is over, I am going to do my best to never read the forums on TL on april fools day again. T_T

I dont think some people understand April Fools You guys make it seem like it has to be funny. The point of april fools is to trick someone, but it doesnt have to be funny.
eg: *guy1 makes noise in another room* guy1: OMG i just broke my leg *guy2 comes running in* guy2: holy shit are you okay?!!!?!?!?! guy1: APRIL FOOOLS heuheuhe you thought my leg was broken
if you watched the actual video which im sure most didnt even bother finishing you wouldve noticed many things like 1) no shower in the bathroom 2) no actual real kitchen it was just a sink(hence the hot plates) 3) I stated we are all Korean GRANDMASTERS 4) Didnt bother showing where people sleep cause THERE ISNT 5) The "company" doesn't actually have a site or any real information on them 6) We used a Blackberry video phone to make the video. like Come on. You think their would be slightly better production quality no? 7) Posted on April Fools day 8) Many people were calling it out that it was(good job to you)
If you got fooled and actually made an application(shouldve waited atleast a day to make one) Sorry thats the name of the game and you lost gl hf gg.

The op sounded shady as all fuck. Anyone who submitted an app should feel stupid.

There are two types of April Fools jokes.
You can go the way of GOM, Team Liquid, IEM, Google, and many more by making an AF prank that is still unexpected, but its goal is ultimately no more than to create a nice laugh for all parties involved.
The alternative is to make an AF troll that is designed solely for the enjoyment of its creator. There's no intention for anyone else to really appreciate the joke, it's not made to lighten up anyybody else's April 1st, and it's sole existence is to make the person pulling the prank feel good about themselves for a day. Most often these are pretty dark jokes, relying on upsetting others.
This was most definitely the latter. Yes, you got a bunch of us. But ultimately, much like many of the other posters here, you just come off to me as a piece of shit. Like many posters before me, I believe April Fools should be about funny jokes and pranks that everyone, the prankers and the prankees, can appreciate and enjoy. This is not that.
edit; also that cyber cafe sucks, the one down the street is much cheaper and has better computers

Wow, how can people actually be ANGRY that they got april fooled? You laugh, chill, and promise next year that you won't be so foolish.
So much overreaction.

Like I said before, this kinda april fools is just a bit of a dick thing to do. People take their time to make a decent app and you just throw it back at them. I'd rather you didn't post the people's applications tbh, just make you seem worse.

too many nerds angry. remember the one date in the year that nothing can be taken seriously? APRIL FOOLS!

There's no intention for anyone else to really appreciate the joke, it's not made to lighten up anyybody else's April 1st, and it's sole existence is to make the person pulling the prank feel good about themselves for a day. Most often these are pretty dark jokes, relying on upsetting others.
This was most definitely the latter. Yes, you got a bunch of us. But ultimately, much like many of the other posters here, you just come off to me as a piece of shit. Like many posters before me, I believe April Fools should be about funny jokes and pranks that everyone, the prankers and the prankees, can appreciate and enjoy. This is not that.
edit; also that cyber cafe sucks, the one down the street is much cheaper and has better computers I agree with this guy. If you are going to do a joke at least make it funny for everyone. This just left me thinking "ok..."

if you watched the actual video which im sure most didnt even bother finishing you wouldve noticed many things like 1) no shower in the bathroom 2) no actual real kitchen it was just a sink(hence the hot plates) 3) I stated we are all Korean GRANDMASTERS 4) Didnt bother showing where people sleep cause THERE ISNT 5) The "company" doesn't actually have a site or any real information on them 6) We used a Blackberry video phone to make the video. like Come on. You think their would be slightly better production quality no? 7) Posted on April Fools day 8) Many people were calling it out that it was(good job to you)
If you got fooled and actually made an application(shouldve waited atleast a day to make one) Sorry thats the name of the game and you lost gl hf gg.
¨ No you dont understand what a good aprils fool is. A good april fool is making a prank/joke that somebody thinks is true, but when they realize its just a joke, they will think "of course its a joke, I should have known that". Making a joke that people have no chance of knowing whether its true or not is a terrible april fools and too many people do it.

Sad joke, would of been amazing - especially if the players were allowed to do some poker on the side for cash. Someone make this happen for real!

Could not be true. Montreal is where it's at. Montreal is the next city of eSports. You heard it from me.

This is even more sad. You should be ashamed of urself. Good job wasting people their time! You can be very proud now. If you or anyone else couldn't figure out this was a massive april fools troll, than I feel very very very sorry for you. Grow up it is a practical joke and it clearly worked to perfection.
How is this a joke? It's obviously not very funny to people who applied. It's ok to make a trick OP but to trick them in the comments as well? If anyone the OP should grow up for repeatedly lying in the comments making it look like it was real. I thought it was fishy but I believed it (didn't write an app though) because I didn't think someone would be such a douche to have people waste time like that, and then say successful april fools is successful because he feels proud people wasted their time.

HAHAHAH!!! =D YOU guys got me again! I LOVE these april fools tricks! hahah! nice one boys!

Yeah definitely looked like a troll judging by the looks of an internet cafe. Sad that a toronto gaming house hasn't happened yet. It is a very popular place with many talented players living here.

Subjective thread is subjective.
Some people find it funny, some don't.

Are you the creator of April Fools or something? I think YOU don't understand what the difference between opinion and fact. You're acting as if what you're stating is a fact, when it is just an (poor) opinion.
I assume you think the IEM/GSL April Fools jokes were terrible because they were obvious to pretty much everyone.
With all that said, this isn't funny, then again, I didn't find any of the SC2 related April Fools funny (except Bomber's).

Dude has a point, op is disrespectful and i dont care if you thought the video was obviously fake, gives no reason to do this. Some people don't care about april fools and come to the TL forums to discuss topics that are real, false information is bannable. I don't wanna sound like such a party pooper, but is it not clear the op put time into making a video and told people to send in applications, for no real reason? Hell even some well known players posted earlier in this thread thinking this could've been real.

what i know about pranks? i am the bombshizzle prankster.
if you read a post on april fools with any kind of news that is relatively grand scale, and was stupid enough to at least not wait until the next day to see if it was legit or not; then you deserve to learn a lesson and there you go, now those who got tricked will not be so easily tricked the next time. Learn to better yourself in that way instead of fucking crying about everything. ffs

>people actually getting mad over this.
this was most definitely a joke, yet there were people who actually fell for it.

This was brilliant =) well done. Feel sorry for the people who submitted apps but instead of being angry about I'm surprised more of you didn't just laugh it off. Don't get your panties in a bunch because of an April fools joke..
|
Please post the e-mails you got. Please please please.
|
updated with some emails. PS if this house was real all these applications would get denied They were horribly done.
|
LOL I didn't care about this whiny thread until you posted those application emails! LoL
Funniest part is either the Enforcer kid who bragged about his hockey skills to a SC house, the guy who "can be funny sometimes", or the fact that the complexity gamer guy was ready to jump ship on his team and you just outed him for it LOL
Whoever made this, I love you.

|
You took this too far with the emails.

I was fine with the initial joke, but I found the posting of the applications to be a bit too much. Heh. Guess I'm just getting older.
|
wow posting the emails is a bit too far imo.......
in poor taste.
|
Pranks are usually supposed to be funny... this really isn't.
|
|
|
