Lol why are the first few posts so pessimistic and melodramatic, you realize hardly anyone ever used the Gom house and it was universally considered pointless? You couldnt get quality practice there. It was just a stop gap measure if you were in korea briefly...

This would be very sad, but lets get some confirmation.

Sad news but not the end of the world - Didn't a lot of foreigners decide to not stay there anyway?

So what? It's still a bad news. It clearly shows that there are problems with SC2 right now.

Its not bad news if it served no purpose. And it isnt a sign of anything but Gom wising up that they had a house for no fucking reason. When was the last time more than one foreigner used it for like, a week? When was the last time a GOOD foreigner used it? Honestly I can only think of when the FXO team used it like a year and a half ago.

Nothing, but bad news? There has been a fair bit of good stuff too. No need to be so negative.

No, it's completely separate from SC2. GOM did something that was pointless. They now realize it was pointless, so they're removing their pointless thing. Boom, where was the presence of Esports and SC2 dying?

I don't know why it even opened in the first place. Best thing we ever got out of that place was lastshadow getting his shit rocked by some fatty

All of the worthwhile foreigners stayed in oGs house iirc

edit:
except wait did the foreigner world championship team stay there? Because white-ra stomping mc was one of my favorite moments in sc2.

If they are going to use the money it takes to run the house and rent the space on improving their product I think It's a good decision.

It must have been because when Artosis did the tour of the GOM house, he showed the password to everyone and then a bunch of people went to Korea and had a party in the house ^_^ But on a serious note this does suck :/ I wish the GOM house would stay open but I don't think there were really even a ton of players that were using it.
