Proximity to SirScoots HD studio is a plus as well. 5 minute drive from major airport doesn't hurt. etc etc etc... | ||

I don't want to make any sweeping predictions ("It will FAIL MISERABLY, I KNOW IT WILL" etc), I guess we'll see how much the players improve. I hope it goes well, though. For ESPORTS! | ||

LOL) I don't get .5 sec lag on korea and I live in Idaho. I used to get it but it really went away, latency is almost like NA for me. Don't know why it changed randomly (like a month-2 months ago it changed for me). But its really awesome for me anyway ^_^. | ||

This isn't a verbal commitment or something this is our job. We aren't a mismatch of progamer friends living in a place we rent together this is our place that our team provided. And you can bet your ass we aren't being paid to sit in here and chill. I'm not going to keep coming in this thread and talking about how hard we are going to work etc etc.. think it gives off the wrong vibe. Just please try and be a bit more supportive and stop the nay-saying. It doesn't actually help anyone. I'd like it if expectations were really high and you dared to be disappointed as opposed to setting them really low and risking nothing except to be a faceless hater. I sincerely can't understand why you read this comments and even spend time answering it! You should know better incontrol, people want to hate! Considering the last drama surrounding EG (Puma, SOTG etc..) you know there is nothing you guys can do besides sticking with your plans, work hard and present results for the fucking haters! You have fans and believers! Just do it! | ||

SC2 comes out... Incontrol talks about becoming a top player and Machine being one of the best/a total beastly macro Zerg... Results? Next to none. Now? Machine/Incontrol are basically "wasting" space in the MLG pool and dropping out early in basically all the other tournaments? Future? Well... I wish you the best of luck but your track record is not exactly beastly. The House is awesome, the Idea behind it is awesome and i wish you the best of luck... But pI don't think eople here aren't really hating, people are just a little fed up with Incontrol/EG propaganda whiteout results backing it up... So people are way more cautious about your statements nowadays  .Best of luck (again). | ||

I'm just excited to see the pictures and video tours of the place when they're all settled and moved in. Its Phoenix arizona, the internet can't be terrible for a house dedicated like this, I'm sure it'll be fine. We just need to relax and watch the progress of the house, thats all | ||

No. That's not how latency works. KR --> US is the same as US --> KR. Bandwidth is not a factor unless it's extremely slow (56k) causing congestion of the game's traffic. | ||

It's great that they are taking the initiative to setup a pro-house and hopefully stick to a rigourous training schedule. It will be a long, hard road but if they can stick to it, I'm sure some results will follow in due course. Hope to see other foreigner teams following EG's lead. | ||
