Nothing good came out of the GOM house. Good on GOM to have tried it but the foreign scene dropped the ball.

Well that sucks, but it's hardly a surprise.

Umm I think desRow probably knows this stuff pretty well.

Besides, GOM must have some money to spare.

It seemed like such a good idea when it was first revealed. But from what I'm reading in the thread, it seems like it didn't really go anywhere.

Do you even realise how entitled you sound right now? I don't mean to rage at you, but christ, how can you downplay a roof over your fucking head, and computers to use? >_>

If anything, the house was an extreme act of kindness that ultimately didn't pay off.


Apparently the GOM house did not provide any cheeseburgers

It's closing because foreigns don't have intrest/success playing in code S anymore. Stephano is currently the only good foreign that could have very good success in code S but he is refusing to play in it even though he would have got free seed many times....

Naniwa is the second foreign hope but he dropped out of code S :-/

So why would they pay expensive rent if foreigns are not even playing in their league anymore.

The GOM house was a cool experiment, but was always a big money sink for GOMtv and not something that was meant to last.

It might not have provided the best practice environment for players like it was intended to, but it did provide a way for players to be here and build a lot of the Korea - Global connections that everyone is benefiting from today in various leagues. It also provided a way for casters to get to Korea and be able to do their thing at Code A without having to scramble to find a place to live. So in my mind it did do a lot of good although maybe not in the way that was intended originally.
I cast, therefore I am.

This isn't another sign for the end of sc2, they're just closing something that existed unnecessarily.

oh no... another SC2-related organisation downsizing... Can't see how ppl are still denying that SC2 is making way for other popular e-sports games.

you all people can say all you want about gomhouse but when i was theere i got alot better and when i found i was really sad about this cause i wanted to go back there

Pretty crazy how many people are saying this is a good thing. Anything which encourages foreigners living in Korea is amazing. A great place to socialize with other gamers and stay. Maybe not an official training house, but take what you can get.

For real though no foreigner lasted in GOM that was staying in that house (did any even make it past Code B?).

The skill gap is just getting worse, so there is even less likely some random star.

Most Koreans I talk to have basically dismissed SC2 as a competitive sport. Once Brood War died, they moved to League. All the PC bangs advertise League instead of SC2.
