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. Well Stephano was there until a few days ago and Naniwa is still there. Mana also was there until a few weeks ago. | ||

I think they wanted like 8 people staying there for it to be actually useful. If it's two people, what's the point? It was useful back when there were foreigners in the GSL but that's likely not gonna happen anymore | ||

Pretty sad how foreigners lost the only home they now have in Korea, and some might have to leave Korea for good (for now). Wonder how this affects Stephano, though it does tie well with the end of his suspension, so I think he returns to NA soon. Stephano left the GOM house earlier this week. He has ESWC in Paris this weekend. Naniwa however was still there, so he will be affected whenever this closure occurs. Khaldor too. | ||

You couldnt get quality practice there. It was just a stop gap measure if you were in korea briefly... I partially agree with this post, but didn't Carn and the fat protoss guy stay there for a couple of months? | ||

It was useful back when there were foreigners in the GSL but that's likely not gonna happen anymore I understand they may be shutting it down for economic reasons, but it clearly makes things harder in the future for Foreigners to compete in GSL - including Code A qualifiers. Some teams can make an arrangement to house a player with a Korean Pro-Team, but this is not always viable due to available space + cost of rent. Major has already said he wanted to stay at the GOM House again in the future. | ||
