Honestly this is yucky and all but that building was fucking barren af. Nothing to be impressed by at all.

Dunkey: fifty million dollar gaming compound

Showing off the board room, which is just a board room is odd. Also I can't imagine streaming in one of those streamer rooms for 8 hours a day.
Probably fine considering it's probably a well paying job.
Oh 100%. That place reeked of amateur professional trying to mimic a modern, trendy office without knowing anything or hiring people who do.
That still doesn't accomplish a lot of the benefits of everybody working together in a dedicated space and building an environment that will play in to their needs. Yes, you can buy offices or meetings spaces and be virtual but it's not the same.
This is some shitty execution and people just throwing money around though. It doesn't mean the concept is bad. Just because you can work from home and there are ways to accomplish some of the same things, it doesn't make it inherently better or make this method wrong. There are benefits and negatives to doing either one.
It looks like a prison, with no shades showing that its related to games and stuff.
Not even posters of the games they are playing or streaming?

None of this really makes sense. Aside from the fact that this was from before COVID-19 spread outside China, esports is not an industry built around WFH. They didn't spend $50,000,000 on this. The majority of the cost (I think I saw $35 mil thrown around?) was absorbed by their sponsorships. There's a reason it's called the 100 Thieves Cash App Compound. There's a reason it's called the Rocket Mortgage and Totinos training rooms. There's a reason he had that Red Bull pop up there.
This isn't a streamer network. 100T has several popular streamers under their brand yes, including their founder who is one of the most popular Call of Duty players of all time with 3+ million YouTuber subscribers alone. They also own teams in two franchised leagues (League of Legends and Call of Duty) along with multiple other esports (Fortnite, Valorant, may be in Smash still). Initially before moving into esports, 100T was a streetwear company where they sell like $500,000 in merch in minutes.
An actual office to conduct business in is not unheard of for esports. These aren't side gigs. These are people's full time jobs.
I just can't imagine advocating this way of working in 2020 when so many other businesses are making a success of remote collaboration. And these are in industries that aren't as used to being at home as streamers.
Besides which, any reasons for these people to collaborate is a nice way of making the whole thing homogeneous and sterile.
The most hilarious part about this (outside the streaming rooms feeling like a prison cell) are that the esports™ training rooms are actually sponsored, lmao. (I undestand why, because it seems that major parts, if not everything, of the building are financed by the actual sponsors, but it still looks and sounds hilarious. Everything about this building screams corporate with zero personality.

I'm not some corporate office in the middle of a pandemic advocate. Lol. I just said I can see why they did this. It's the way they felt would best run their business, get attention, and hopefully attract new talent. I don't think it's well executed or necessary by any means. But hey to each their own.
This is one of the most absurd things I've seen. I would hate my life so much if I was stuck in a little room playing games to make money. Do these guys ever think back to the days where they just played to have fun? These fuckers are so far stuck up the corporate asshole it's almost funny. These fucking sponsored room and the way they talk makes me wanna puke.
Nadeshot is not a corporate drone lmao
Eh, this is how esports was/is and players fucking hate it. Guys like Bjergsen were specifically getting their own places so they could have the ability to "clock out" so to speak.
For the thread, here's TSM's new facility that's being built:
I don't know who he is and I'm not claiming he is, but hearing him talk like this definitely does not prove he is not one lmao.
Former CoD pro
It's like calling Ninja a corporate drone lol. He's managing a team now that he founded (100T in the video) but he's firmly a "gamer" (and all the baggage associated with that word)
It's possible to allow people the freedom to be themselves while also pushing consistency across the brand. Look at things like HBO. People have certain assumptions about HBO shows and their quality without HBO ruining things for individual directors or writers.
I honestly respect Nadeshot a lot as someone who never followed Call of Duty and never really paid attention to him until he was running 100T. Seems to be on the right side of most issues. Opening up the compound as a voting centre was great. Lots of agreeable choices on their business decisions with the team. Legitimately seems to be one of the smartest people in esports.
The fucking Totino's Fortnite Training Room, LOL.
The streaming rooms literally have white cinder block walls like you'd find in a prison. So homey!
This whole thing is gross. And I was going to hurl myself off a bridge if definitely-not-a-corpo-shill-guy said the word "elevate" one more time.

Yes, its a lame video and of course they are doing it to make money...
However, they are actually doing something great by bringing gamers/streamer physically together.
Allowing them to socialize in person before, after and during breaks of their gaming sessions.
I hope this also leads to less isolated gamers that suffer from depression and in the worst case commit suicide.

I'm sure the mostly uninspired business of streaming and e-sports can be improved with white rooms and claustrophobic corridors.
E-Sports and the whole scene around it is a cringe goldmine. This is so bad.
