You'd think people would stop doing it, because this line of thought is the wrong way to go haha. If you have to try to get good enough to go pro, it's probably not gonna happen. I bet the list would be in the 100's | ||

I am just really interested how things has gone for you I have tried getting in touch with you but I just can't seem to make it. Your character is not findable, and I really have no other way to contact you Andy. Does anyone know how his attempt to become pro has gone? Maybe he goes under another name at this time. Forgot to add that you also are banned from TL talk about a hard guy to get a hold off! If none knows I am sorry for bumping this thread, just wish I knew it inspired me so much  his name and character code are in the op in season 5, he played 140 games and only made rank 50 masters | ||

Compete in weekly cups, try to catch a pro for some games. You can decide to quit your job instantly, but you cant decide to be pro enough to be sponsored. The sc2 scene is highly competetive and I dont know any Pro who has just decided to be good. They are good because it is in them, they played the game and became way better than avarange hardcore gamers. Of course deciding to commit everything and drill deep will get your skill up, but you are by far not the only one trying. You look for peoples opinions because you are unsure. Whatever they write, good or bad, should not move you a little bit in my opinion. You should maybe even stop reading this blog and get your mind clear. True commitment comes from passion, not from anti-passion for everything else. I believe that every human can do great things that are out of the ordinary if they are passionate about it. But most important is, that you start to compete on high level and believe in yourself. Doesnt matter what people or the family says. | ||

It's the sad truth. This reminds me of Rekrul's post about the reality of being a pro-gamer, that it's not all bright lights and fame. After all, it seems like a great gig, until you see the grueling 12 hours of practice everyday, living in a tiny gaming house with 11 guys sleeping in one 20'x20' room (thinking of MVP house) in a country where you can't speak the language, and the hours playing in side tournaments with tiny prize pools in hopes of actually getting some recognition. People like this fail because anyone who does not have the greatest, most incredibly unbelievable passions for esports are going to fail. That accounts for 99.9999% of gamers. | ||

Someone else doesn't have the resources. Someone else doesn't know how to train properly. What the public knows about Idra represents very little of what goes on behind the scenes. | ||

I don't think idra started out thinking "i'm going to go pro." it just sorta happened because he's that good. | ||
