What About That: Jason Lake

 


You started 2007 with a pleasant announcement: the complexity house which is a rather big home for the five Counterstroke players. Was this a private investment?

The house was actually rented and not purchased.  At first I helped pay for the rent, but after CGS started and the players had plenty of cash, they took over the payments.


Was the decision of moving the players into the house a decision made with the CGS in the back of your mind or were you already about to take that step with or without CGS?

Yes, CGS was the main reason we moved the team to Dallas.  We wanted to dominate in 2007, and I think the team did that.


Do players others than those playing CSS reside in the coL house? If not, are you planning to move any of them over?

Nope, just CSS right now.  I don’t think we’ll move anyone else in.


What has been the reaction of the players on the house? What positive and if so negative reactions did you get after a year of complexity house existence?

They really love living together and have become best friends.  I think it has helped their game a lot, too.


Is the house there to stay? Are you planning to keep the house for the rest of the complexity days? What does its future look like?

We have the house through this summer, and will decide after that what the players want to do.
