Actually, no. That wasn't the point of the post. The point of the post was to give information regarding the future Axiom teamhouse to people who aren't following every single thing Totalbiscuit/Genna tweets and posts.
You on the other hand, are just an asshole.

Is MMA going to stay in the new house?

Glad to see Axiom growing

How do I "Like" a post?
Awesome for Axiom and TB, you've really earned my respect.
All the best!

More players, less money per player. Making sure your players have optimal settings to perform, outweighs quantity, while not being able to give the players optimal settings to perform.
You need a strong foundation to have a successful team in the long run, and providing well for the players you have, is optimal. When it is strong, and can bear it, you add more players - slowly, wisely and selectively. Aren't liquid players living in home? They are doing quite well. Naw, HerO and Zenio have both posted that they are currently living at the EG-TL house. Internationally, its harder to set up a team house since you have players all over the globe as opposed to a single country. Congrats to Axium though for their Team House, I hope to see some videos of that restaurant near by once you guys move in ).
It's not EG-TL house, i believe it's EG's house and they allowed Liquid's players to live there...

It's not officially announced, so I'm hoping we get some details as to the goals and plans for Axiom, their players and what they hope to achieve (foreign tournaments and leagues, GSTL/GSL or eventually team leagues). Will the house be used for other visiting Korean players as well and who will monitor these players at the house and ensure things are going smoothly (beyond the initial setup).
Awesome stuff to see a house coming soon, I'm just being cautious with my worry that it might be too soon before establishing a proper team (whatever that number for a "team" is).
Maybe, they will pick some TSL players up, would make sense.

GOGO Axiom Would be so cool to see Axiom in GSTL if that will ever happen, or even better, Proleague.

Well yeah they need a place to live that isn't super-cramped and not an optimal practice environment. That's our biggest concern at present. Expanding our roster is far lower down the priority list than giving the players a decent place to live and work.
So long as you guys can afford it and stay in the black more power to you I say. Lord knows the Korean scene probably has it the worst in terms of salaries and living conditions at present. Not that the entire scene doesn't still have a lot of growing to do before being a 'pro gamer' or an 'entertainer' or even a 'worker' in pro gaming is a viable career choice in any way shape or form.

Great job Axiom! Best of luck to you.
Also, I hope the team house fits at least 100 people for the Planetside team.

I would like to see Axiom try to partner with someone to be able to get into the GSTL now that they have a house. Maybe work something out with a team like NSHoseo to try to field something a little more competitive? Or partner with another foreign team with a handful of solid Koreans/foreigners willing to stay in Korea?

TB, I have been following your content since you were putting out podcasts for WoW 3+ years back. When you emerged in the SC2 scene, I was anything but a fan. Your lack of knowledge of the game mechanics and players made it frustrating to listen to you and I found myself listening to streams on mute. Don't hate me for saying that, for it is but one person's opinion.
BUT... to say you have come a long way is an understatement. Nowadays, there are very few casters I would prefer over you. Your knowledge and casting fluidity improved at an astronomical rate. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Your contributions to the community as a whole have been staggering. I have listened to Day9, incontrol, and many other SC2 community figures tell people that if you are interested in a career in esports, the best way to start is to simply DO SOMETHING. Whether it be creating media content, laddering hours on end, or simply attending events as a spectator, there are many ways to involve oneself in the scene.
You, my friend, have made contributions on so many different fronts in areas where other proven establishments have failed, and that it is truly something to be proud of. It may not be much, but you have converted me into a fan for life. Best of luck on the team house endeavors. Cheers!
PS. It brings a smile to my face to see you put these armchair business consultants in their place.

Think Axiom E-sports is turning into a team that I will like. Total Biscuit may not have been a very good caster at the start, but I dare say he has improved over time and his active participation in e-sports, not only limited to SC2, has really led me to follow his content. And Axiom E-sports takes really good care of their players from what I have seen/heard. Here's hoping that their players continue to do well in 2013, or improve even more now that their living conditions have improved!

WoW!!! This is great news for Axiom and for International eSports.
We need more Team houses outside of Korea.
GOGO TB!! You've completely missed the point, the team house will be in Korea since Axiom was set up as a Korean based team.
People don't even read these days... wtf

This is why i hope so badly that this team is going to succeed. Good luck to Axiom in 2013
