 MMA" Seong Won, the team's Korean Terran star.MMA will be staying to prepare for an play in WCS, during which time he'll be streaming and Team Acer will provide the public with videos and photographs of his stay. Besides MMA the house will be used by other members of the team and the staff. 10 PCs means there will be the possibility of bringing in other teams for bootcamps also. The full story can be read at Team Acer.

Couldn't they just take a parisian suburb ? the internet is awesome and at least its near a city with an international airport. | ||

Plus the fact that the contact info on their website says : Team Acer by esp entertainment e.K. Hindenburgstrasse 6 83646 Bad Tölz | ||

It's a German TV series set in that very Bavarian town. The main character is a cop of bull-like statue. Set in Bad Tölz, Bavaria, the series is about the activities of the local Kriminalpolizei as personified by Benno Berghammer (Ottfried Fischer), the eponymous Bulle (literally "bull", a slang word and the equivalent of "cop" but at the same time an allusion to his bulky appearance), and Sabrina Lorenz (Katerina Jacob), two Kommissare who invariably, at the beginning of each episode, are faced with murder in the seemingly idyllic small town of Bad Tölz or its rural surroundings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Bulle_von_Tölz | ||

Also, this is pretty nice since I don't think there existed a capability in the EU region for temporary housing and boot camping of whole teams! I hope the place is short way from Munich airport for optimality. | ||

Between spending my summer in a crowded GH in Seoul and in a splendid villa (deutsche qualität) near die Alpen, I think he will enjoy his stay. Its just a matter of food now, make sure to get him kimchi at first, and then slowly incorporate pork products and Apfelstrudel and he ll be fine. PS : 1 hour from Munich airport ? My girlfriend lives in London and is STILL one hour away from the airport she goes to... And (hopefully) I dont remember hearing criticism about the location of Ministry of Win... | ||

MMA sure needs some more kilos to be the Bulle von Tölz :D To clear it up for all non-germans/austrians, Der Bulle von Tölz was quite a bad police/crime series for the whole family in the 1990s and 2000s on television | ||

I guess it makes sense to put the players near the office location (or maybe into the office?) to save costs etc.pp. Besides that, the dream of making cologne the esports capital of europe, where all the major teams have team houses, is still a long way to go But we all will see what 2013 will bring! | ||

Someone´s gotta start, seriously, centralize that scene. cologne is one of the most expensive cities in germany in terms of rents. | ||
