If you ask me it's not a question of 'can', it's a question of 'should'. SC2 and its community have the unfortunate quality of making time spent playing seem more worthwhile than it actually is. There's also the fact that it takes virtually no effort which makes it that much more enticing.

Obviously you are already set in your ways though. It's unfortunate since life has so much more to offer than playing some totally inconsequential video game. Personally I also think it's a self-centered non-contributory lifestyle, but that's another post for another day.

Hey man, I live in Woodbridge right next to Wayne State! It's good to have something to focus on to vent, there is almost nobody around here that plays SC2.

I tell u one thing man:
10 hours per day is waaaaaaaaaaay to low,
I remember artosis saying playing 8 months straight 16 hours a day before he could win a tournament.
If you really want to become a pro gamer, play 16 hours straight, don't join any tournaments for 1 year and at the end, do some qualifier or something. If it doesn't work out, you don't have the talent for it and you have only wasted 1 year of your life.
