TBQH it looks like COL was dumped by gamma gamers or whatever the sponsor was called and were, in turn, kciked out of the house. i feel bad because that gamma shit sucked....actually i never tried it because it was so damn expensive.

Why is everyone is SC2 so focused on housing? Sometimes I am almost not sure if I am on a gaming or real estate forum. I am not really sure how the Korean tradition started, but I really think that people are overdoing it by following it literarly. If you think that professional SC2 has to be a fulltime job, fair enough, make an office where the players meet for the day and practice, but do they really have to live in their workplace? Noone else does, so what does make them so special? It just costs money and creates a huge, completely unnecessary overhead. They have to keep a backup place to stay anyway, because noone can count on a team house as a stable living option, so there is not so much gain for the either.

They close the house after only 7 months? The talents of those players that were staying there had greatly improved.....How about getting a decent sized house and not going bill gates mansion on a gaming house. In order for foreigners to get up to korean level there needs to be more team houses going up otherwise the skill gap will only distance itself....

IMO, it's stuff like this that keeps NA from being as competitive as it could be. Instead of putting their money towards training their players with things like second-string (sorry) players to practice against, houses to focus in, coaches to direct practice, etc, they only get top tier talent, sell their houses, never hire REAL coaches, and spend their money on advertising. They build the business, but not the product. It's such an odd way of trying to be competitive...

Because for players to afford their own living they have to get paid.
