That sounds like a pretty unrealistic goal considering your probably atleast 22. If you put all this time and effort into trying to be a progamer and it doesnt pay off your gonna be like 26 unemployed and live with your parents.

Are we assuming theres suddenly gonna be a SCII progaming scene akin to Korea's?
Even if that does happen, it will take years, after all the expansions come out.

Just wondering why was this guy warned? I thought it was a legitimate post besides the
"yup mods are bias for no reason" thing.

Well if his advice is true and he was a "pro gamer" for a few years then I don't see the point of warning him for giving honest advice. The "mods are biased" thing is very immature though. I mean Day9 has done the community many great things, and the majority of TL'ers like him so of course hes going to get more privileges.

That's what I'm talking about. It's not even a thread related to that, and would still be stupid if it were in Day's thread.
