If your grades and other areas of life don't suffer for it then try to reason with them perhaps. Playing a few hours a week shouldn't impact your ability to get into a good university (which I assume, is what they care about.) Ideally, you'd be able to get your parents to be ok with you playing. If not, then do it anyway? I mean can you just close the door to your room or is the computer in a place where they walk by. | ||

im not sure what you can do to unstigmatize starcraft to them, especially considering they didnt have computer games when they were growing up | ||

I'd say the best way is to prove to them that you do: ask them for a two week trial period in which you have access to games, and tell them they can revoke access if your grades slip. Two weeks won't hurt a semester or year grade. It's really best for you and your parents to find a sort of compromise like this, IMO; if you build their trust in this area, they'll probably trust you more overall. | ||

They do know that he did go to Harvey Mudd, as well as USC right? As well as a whole host of other pro-gamers who excelled at school. Of the top of my head, Liquid`Tyler went to Duke. Some other noteworthy people involved in E-Sports also went to really top notch schools, Xeris (formerly of Fnatic) went to UCSD, etc etc. I'm sure there are a lot more. It seems like you've been fighting with your parents recently, it may be a good idea to let things cool off, and start fresh and anew. | ||

It's only the #100th one. It was a special episode over supporting your kids in whatever they do. Not a guide how to become a pro gamer. Btw, me and my brother were only allowed to computer for 1 hour a day at a time. But times change and so do parents. I''m now catching up at a REALLY fast pace lol. | ||
