Seems great! €500 seems quite fair considering everything is included.

Now a question: Will players be chosen based on skill only? And how does the rules for application work out? If a pro wants to live there, does some one get kicket out? etc. etc.

Im just curious, cuz there is little point in having a gaminghouse full of diamond players.


Quite fair ? Its insane. I cant believe youre from Norway and say its just fair. For €500 in Norway you would get an extremely small room with basicly fits almost 2 people. And electricity, food, internet comes in addition.
They get a luxury house with tons of facilities and food includes ! Thats just crazy good.

Norway is the 2nd richer country per capita in the world, with very high salaries ^^

Poland is not

You can't compare the rents. For a polish player, 500€ would be way too expensive. Noone of them could afford it.

Even for Polish players it is ok I guess, that is pretty much the same that you have to pay if you live on your own (like rent, bills and other stuff). But there you have everything done and ready, so they can only play. Good deal IMO.

And that was his point. His reaction was towards another norwegian saying the prices were "fair", when compared to norwegian prices, it's a absurdly good deal. No norwegian should call what you get for the price only "fair".

Well, MaNa or Nerchio who won more than 30000$ each in their careers could afford it, but yes - for Polish players (excluding those from rich families) 500€ would be very expensive. It's rather an option for those with a lot of savings and very strong devotion or those who already have professional contracts and would spend their salaries on improvement. Imo the second option is quite reasonable.

try being a foreigner in poland, where 20+ yos have the mentality of 14 yos and you can get the crap beat out of you for speaking a different language/having a different religion/different sexual orientation/skin colour

also, it's kinda... nowhere. No local tournaments. UK, Germany or Sweden would have been better, but meh

No one is stopping people in UK, Germany or Sweden to establish their own house like this one. But it seems that you need a bunch of people from "nowhere", with "the mentality of 14 yos" to make it. You're full of stereotypes which are full of shit.


We dont need EU country wars.
UK has Apollo and TB - good casters (in most people's opinion).
Sweden has Dreamhack - a super big LAN with tournament.
Germany has the EPS, is the founding country of IEM and has HSC.
France has I think the Millenium house (?) and that awesome e-Sports bar in Paris.
And now Poland joins the club with this awesome gamer house.



On Topic:
The house really looks awesome. Hey, if I were better I might even consider a vacation in the house
~600€ for a month vacation in Poland? All while playing SC2 and being coached? Sounds like a good deal.

Hope everything works out for you & the players!

Amazing project, really should be highlighted by TL. To me this seems a very real way of offering an experience akin to the Korean team-housing without the necessity of having teams with 10-20 unpaid 17-year olds. In other words, it's a western model that may just work.

If the opening of the bar is spotlighted, why not this?

There is an article that highlights some business of the Ministry of Win enterprise featured in the "First Million" magazine (recommended by Forbes).

Some interesting stuff:
- MoW spent 250k PLN = ~80k $ to set up the home, website etc.
- MoW is are thinking about opening another pro gaming house in yet another country. Ultimately they are willing to open a whole network of pro gaming houses and invest next 750k PLN =~ 240k $ in near future.
- also MoW is going to set up some kind of SC2 Star League.
- MoW feels that they can make a lot of money from streaming... in fact the statement by mr Krupowies makes me scratch my head (I improved the GT a bit):

The largest and most prestigious (e-sports) events broadcasted over the Internet local TV are watched by more than a million people. The organizers of those events are able to earn a million dollars from a 2-3 day venue.
