Deep question through: Does the house have a pool? It looks like it should have a pool. | ||

I've no idea why people are hoping or claiming this will fail. Think about it logically, if EG starts showing much improved results as a result of moving into the EG house as a team then it stands to reason other teams will immediately begin making team houses. I guarantee other teams are looking at this, carefully awaiting the results. For years and years everyone has assumed the reason Koreans are better than foreigners is simply because of team houses(and the implied community/atmosphere). Personally, I'd rather EG succeed and prove it's atmosphere that breeds better players than fail and prove that foreigners just don't work hard enough(the other option.) I hope EG succeeds as a result of this bold move and proves that it's not just the community in Korea, that if you provide the proper atmosphere the same results can be expected anywhere. Either everyone will improve as a whole as a result of this or no one will, so stop singling out players who haven't done as well in tournaments lately. | ||

Yes Im sure that EG will look at their roster if this doesn't work out with these players but FFS give them a chance. NO!!! WE WILL JUDGE THEM NOW, BECAUSE WE HAVE ZERO INFORMATION, EXCEPT THE FACT THEY ARE STREAMING!!! Ok, I got that out of my system. Seriously, I am really excited to see what come out of this. I've been rooting for Idra and Incontrol to win for some time now. | ||

I always felt that the old Demuslim (6 monthsish ago before the arm breaking) was on par with thorzan now so I feel we can see some very good play out of him again if it all works out. Same. He's been improving gradually and I think out of all the EG guys he's got the most drive and commitment to improve. His TvZ has come on greatly in the last month from where it was before, he was completely lacking confidence. I worry for his TvT however, without an EG practice partner (although his TvT is pretty sick, took down DDE and QXC at MLG.) | ||

We need to know what our peers are doing, we need to stream (contractually obligated for some) and we NEED to play less serious games otherwise we burn out. Believe it or not we aren't a bunch of slobs just dicking around. We are actually constructing what we think is the best work schedule with what we have. This wasn't necessarily directed to you personally but more to the people interjecting with "it won't work" or "they need to do X" because quite frankly I am going to go with the opinion of the 7 pros immersed in the game here and the organization surrounding it vs the arm chair quarterback that read a few articles on korean progaming. What we CAN do and what we WANT to do are going to have to find a harmony. It is in OUR best interest to improve as much as possible. Please trust us to do that. I think its a good step moving forward and it increases the seriousness and comraderie of the team. Everything Ive heard/read from the people in TLO's house has pointed towards increased productivity as well as passion for the game because they are constantly surrounded by fellow pro's practicing and pushing themselves. At the very least this house will provide that bonus and Im sure it will provide many other benefits as time goes on. | ||

Otherwise I was wondering something: do you plan to participate more in online cups, especially for the ones who have had bad results consistently in recent tournaments ( sorry machine) ? I know it's way more profitable for you to stream or make lesson, but it could be a way for some of your players to regain some confidence in a competitive environement. Just my 5 cents ^^. | ||

One person who definitely isn't happy about this is destiny - his stream numbers have take a huge hit whenever idra is on, which apparently will be a lot more | ||

Also is the any news on wether Puma will come out and join you at all? Are you sure about that? I don't know what the connection looks like specifically from Phoenix to LA specifically but I've seen good latency in the southwest to the west coast. Connectivity from LA to Tokyo has (had?) pretty good performance, at least considering the distance. I assume that has bearing on LA to South Korea. As for AZ to EU, that's not nearly as important. | ||
