A quote from TtPiG on what it's going to be like in the house:

Quote:

The difference for me will be a few things.
I will be able to play with sub ~30ms ping, which will allow me to develop my micro and multitasking. I will also have the help of much more experienced players then myself who are playing in a more evolved metagame with a higher understanding. Playing with these players, watching them play, and using basic communication (I'm learning some basic Korean vocab such as unit names) + english with the players that speak english, I will be able to gain a much higher understanding.
The rate of learning is hugely accelerated in this environment because when I'm confused or lost about why I'm losing or why certain strategies aren't working I will have many fellow GSL level players to observe and ask for help. Even growing up playing sport I was never particularly good at learning techniques for martial arts, tennis or football by having them explained to me. I've always had much more success simply watching players better than myself and emulating and adapting upon their play.

Lastly, I will have most of my meals prepared by the house, and I will have zero distractions. I won't need to worry about any of my responsibilities back home and will be surrounded by players practicing 12 hours a day. I envision my time there as an intensely focused period of training, training, exercise, training, and finally, more training. This is something it's hard to do at home where it's hard to find ways to improve your play. But will be my only option when immersed in this Korean progaming culture.
