Well... there is no legitimate teamhouse structure in Korea for months now. Everyone either got their own apartments or started living with their families again.
Edit: nah not really interested in diving down that hole

You don't think those 2 things would be related? The established structure enforcing work ethic. You can see that in any league sport with small teams. As soon as someone starts investing and hire professional coaches and trainers and enforcing rules and such you see a marked increase in performance even with the exact same players.

Good try Neeb, but you'll never make me think anything else than Nerchio is a steaming pile of dogshit
+ Show Spoiler +Joking, joking, I was rooting for Nerchio the whole finals!

I remember watching Neeb when he really didn't have a name, but would come out to all these WCS qualifiers competitions as I sat there and got rocked trying my best, but would always see Neeb do amazing. That's when I knew this kid would be great. I'm happy for Neeb that he won another title. Congrats Neeb, and great interview.

Well, he chooses strategies which work. I don't like it because I think adepts are boring to watch but it's perfectly understandable.

The lazy perspective has to be accurate I guess. I guess neeb doesn't plan to make a living on starcraft. He's already made 200k off this game, so he can do whatever. Stephano had the right idea: take a break while you're ahead, invest in medical school, come back and still smash EU ladder years later. Need is really young, hope he considers similarly.
ngl I thought Stephano quit to do uni and then came back when he'd spent all the $$ he made

As much as I hate the existance of adepts you can't hate him for doing what works. ByuN won blizzcon with broken 3rax but you gotta do what you gotta do

Haha that's pretty awesome. I'm gonna go tell everyone that I used to be better than the guy who just won WCS Austin. Then again, I played OP terran in the WoL days so maybe not...
