Someone asked this before, what was your BW rank? If you werent even B or B+ Its gonna be pretty fucking hard to suddenly "rise above" all the other nerds that spend too much time on a video game. On the other hand you have time and young age on your time. Being 15 will make you able to catch on to things quickly, especially games, but you may not have the maturity or mind to be the best. Im only 19 but im a junior in college pursuing engineering because I have the mind for it and the drive as well. When i was 15 there were so many things I wanted to be, mainly a touring musician and and professional basketball player but i dont have the virtuoso skills or height/skill for those things so i did what Im good at, solving problems with math and observation... Just because you "set your mind to something" doesn't mean you can do it because you need to be naturally good at the things you capitalize on.. Do games come naturally to you or are you just a bored kid with SC as your only form of entertainment? on a side note: You dont know shit about life so think twice before you disregard school because its "lame" or "boring".. Life is full of shit you dont want to do but have to. | ||

Do you honestly not have fun with your girl friends? You say that only Broodwar is fun. Broodwar is fun, but while you may like the game, the game does not like you back. You should realize this if you're spending a lot of time thinking about and playing the game (seems like you are since you want to become a pro-gamer). Becoming a pro-gamer isn't easy. Not everyone can do it. Lots of people want to, but most don't have the skill or time devotion. Then you're big for a few years, making an average salary (if you're lucky enough to get the job in Korea) and then you're fired. You have no useful talents because you dropped out of school and you have to work at a grocery store again. Go to college, get a degree at a local comm college, get a good job. I'm sorry for your childhood. I can't change how you've grown up. I know that If I give you the advice to stay in school and do well, you won't blindly listen. But I truly believe this is the best thing you can do. Talk to your girl friends. Talk to some of the foreigner pros on here. Please. It's the least you can do. edit: can you get endorphines from riding a bike too? Yes, the other poster said that endorphines come from exercise. I ride my bike in a figure 8 next to my school's buildings when I get depressed. If you are serious about SC2, I wish you the best of luck. You will need it. In college, some majors and colleges are really easy. You can get by with a day of work every week, leaving you 5 days to practice, 1 day to hang out with friends. | ||

older people will tell you how to be like them, or how they want to be (sure they are probably telling you what they think is best but they are not all knowing and most people have lost sight of what life is actually about) just be true to yourself and try to be good and try to improve yourself. things will work out but, u may be posed with challenges later on in life if u try to do something like become a pro gamer. | ||

Can you set aside everything else, and practice even when you don't want to, hell, even when your wrists don't want to because they are dead as shit from playing way too much? SC2 isn't casual. Nothing is casual when it is competitive. Doesn't matter if it is inherently easier than BW or not - these comparisons don't matter. What matters if you will put in more effort than you think you can. If you're going to play SC2 because it is fun and you like how it looks, and that's why, then just stop. Play it for fun - but don't dream of moving to korea and becoming a programer, because that's a huge step, a huge commitment. "Giving it a shot" is not how you would have to think of this. You'd have make it THE shot you give. | ||

Doesn't mean jack shit unless you have nothing in life preventing you from playing, because once u stop for a bit, you fall behind everyone else( which is impossible without dropping out of school), progamer= high risk , low reward, possibly 0 reward - Are your parents rich? if not, - If you played BW for 2 years and you're not at least B- - Would you mind working at a fast food restaurant? if not, ... Go study. you have absolutely 0 chance of becoming a progamer with no backup plan because your studies suck. (high school isn't hard) | ||

Now I'm sitting around waiting to ship out to basic training for the U.S. military while my friends are having fun in college, partying it up and worrying about their grades while I'm sitting here with the possibility of a tour in Afghanistan and the responsibility of an adult in the "real world." Work hard. Or you'll regret it.
