I think the video's responding to a (strawman?) argument:

1) "Players aren't performing completely top-notch after joining EG."

When the real argument is:

2) "EG Players in general do worse than they did before they joined EG."

I remember him citing ThorZain, how he's only won all these tournaments after joining EG. Those tournaments just happen to be lower-tier tournaments compared to what he's done before. Notice at http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/ThorZaIN#Achievements the "Premier" vs. "Major" tournaments table, and that he joined EG on 5/9/12.

While EG's a great team and ThorZain for ex is a good player (and continues to be), I believe the statement "EG Players in general do worse than they did before they joined EG" is overall true.

I know they've got this nice house with a pool with everything they could ever want AND they get paid , live with a bunch of mediocre performing pro gamers like inControl that set the bar low in terms of performance.

It'd probably be a lot easier in that environment to let your game slip while you're living it up so to speak, vs in some shitty korean 2 bedroom apartment with 20 GSL players packed into a 200 sq foot living room who probably scold each other when their APM drops 1% below optimal play
