Giant Bomb in Korea: oGs/Team Liquid House Tour

Has been really cool to see this.
Thanks Brad!

Another excellent video.  
 
Seriously, my mind is consistently blown by the content this website provides.

small nitpick but you spelled ret's name wrong 
 
other than that great video. these guys are like firefighters, only instead of fires, they fight each other, in starcraft 2.

Even if I'm not all that informed about high level Star Craft, I really appreciate Brad's passion and enthusiasm for it all. I just wish somebody on the team was as deep in to stuff like Street Fighter :P

" Rice cookers haha. How about a pot, rice and watter and boil it until the water is gone - DING DING - DONE RICE!   People won't be able to take a dump 10 years from now without a robot wiping their asses.   Such useless appliances.  "

Wow amazing stuff

Dyed Korean player looks like Shindong from Super Junior.

This is what I wanted to see.

i was kind of hoping the interviews would be thorough enough to make their own videos but oh well 
 
that is not at all how i was expecting one of those team houses to look, kind of cool to see it

yes more footage!

That house actually looks a lot nicer then what I pictured in my head when Brad mentioned it on the bombcast. 
 
Anyways great video, I'm really enjoying the GSL stuff.

Another great video from North Korea. Those guys are dead serious about their gaming, and I like that. However, I would never be able call gaming a "job".

As someone who owns and uses a rice cooker almost every day, you have no idea what you're talking about. "

I'll go pro as long as I get to meet Girls Generation.

and then?  do you just watch these videos to shit all over them afterwards? "

Brad's no good at games but I'll tell you what. He is a fantastic interviewer. He should be playing less games and out at more events and developers. I know that's very expensive though for a small joint like GiantBomb, but I think that's where Brad's true skill lies for sure.
 
Great video.

I hate rice.

its south korea. <_< "

That place is so much nicer than anywhere I've ever lived; far more luxurious than I was expecting.

Oh how I miss living in Korea.

This why Giantbomb is the most in touch website when it comes to gaming culture

Crazy, and Awesome.

I feel like all those players lived in a small part of a Star Trek space ship with all those bunk beds and uniforms.  I want to go to Star Trek Korea now...

Seriously, this is the kind of thing that ends up in a VH1 style "best of the 2010's" video
 
its ridiculous

That's a nice apartment. Too many people live in it, but still, it's nice.

YAY

" That was awesome. Loved seeing the perspective of American players playing in Korea. "

I think it would be really cool to live in a team house with a starcraft team and make a little mini documentary over a GSL season or something.
 
Also that apartment is much nicer than mine :<

they are cooking for 40 people. are you really going to begrudge them a specialist appliance for cooking rice for that many people. "

" Yes please! "

" More Korea coverage yay! "

" Cool been waiting for this "

" that is one huge rice cooker "

" This why Giantbomb is the most in touch website when it comes to gaming culture "

lol this is disturbing

These Korea videos were great. Waiting for Brad and Norm to split off and form the next WM site, starcraftstarcraftstarcraft.com. I don't mean that in a bad way.

It all seems effin insane. Absolutely nuts that people would be living lives like that. 
 
It's awesome in so many ways. I would love if that level of pro gaming caught on in a big way. Not for me to personally get involved, but it fascinates me.

Great work GB

I wonder if anyone is going to think of Brad as a key figure in the group of people that brought mainstream eSport gaming to the west :)

Fascinating stuff. So what's the average age of all these professional players in the room? Do they have at least a bachelor's degree to fall back on in case video games don't work out for them? It would have been nice if brad had investigated just a little bit more about their overall background. 
 
Good interviews nonetheless.

I found it a bit funny that when the American and European players were asked about what they were learning, it was all about strategies and whatnot having to do with Starcraft and when the same question was asked to the Korean, his response was that he's trying to learn English. . .
 
Good stuff.

Call 'em like you see 'em

Yay more Korea!

Being able to see this is really, really cool. I've never seen pro gaming like this before. Thank you for GB for shedding light on this culture and unique career!
