Yes, in order to play with the best people need to be able to train all day hardcore... but in order to become a practice partner or get room and board, prohouses just want to see you have potential. You don't have to destroy your life doing some dumb all-in strategy | ||

Sorry to be harsh, but I think you're just trying to escape from reality by giving yourself a ridiculous ultimatum. If you can get a prohouse to let you live and train with them, that's a good experience. If you just quitting your job so you can play games all day, that's irresponsible. This. To make a living as a progamer, you have to be truly world-class. To make a good living in a normal job you just need to have a few working brain cells, show up to work on time, and shower everyday. Progaming isn't something to do if you feel you're untalented and can't succeed at anything else. If you think you really have the calling, good luck to you. But since you said it's your "last resort" and you "don't have anything else" than it sounds like a terrible idea. You should work on putting together a good life first, then worry about things like getting good at gaming. | ||

Whatever decision you choose. Good luck and remember to stick through with it. You don't just succeed in life. You have to work for it. | ||

You don't have to destroy your life doing some dumb all-in strategy OP I'm sorry but I completely agree with this person. It's going to take a long time to succeed (on the offchance that you do) and you will need a fallback unless you want to be a total dick and mooch of your parents for 2+ years. I suggest you find a job that pays at least a little and game on the off hours otherwise you'll either get really sick of sc2 or your parents will kick you out. | ||

Your all-in on becoming a SC2 progamer looks a lot like the latter. It really doesn't look like you have a solid ground to commit yourself to such a goal. But good luck either way! | ||

There are two reasons: A) Clearly, you have to be intelligent in order to excel at starcraft. This doesn't necessarily mean "book smart", but I gather that the most successful players have quick, creative minds which would allow them to do well in other areas and careers if they were not so passionate about gaming. B) If you can succeed in academics, you show that you can work hard on something you don't enjoy in order to achieve future goals. For tournaments like GSL, you might have players refining the same TvT build for 30 straight games against the same practice partner before a big match. Do you think that would always (or ever) be fun? | ||

If you had any experience with iccup, you would know that this game is hard. However it's a bit too late to test your skills given your situation. I would aim for rank 1 masters and go on from there to secure yourself on a team and hopefully some sponsorship opportunities. | ||
