Hello My name Is Daniel. Im a 12 year old (about to be 13) in the 7th grade that plays sc2 basicly whenever I dont have school work to do or have freinds over. Its by far my favorite RTS and plainly, its my favorite game out of all. I started playing BW when I was 5 years old. My Dad only found out about this epic game because when he was working at one of his jobs, a co-worker was playing BW on a computer and my dad was like "Whats that" and the guy was like "its a video game called starcraft where you build up a base and army and kill your opponet". Thank God for that guy, else my dad would of never found out about this awsome game. My dad showed me it. It was funny because me and my dad always tried taking turns playing missions on the campaign. We were such noobs but didnt know it. We never did multiplayer. I dont think I ever did multiplayer on BW untill right before the release of sc2. As soon as sc2 came out me and my dad went to gamestop and buyed it. I fell in love with the game really fast. For the 1st like 3 or 4 months I only played customs and bearly did melees or ladder games. Then i started playing melee alot more and I got into sliver. At this time I started to get into sc2 alot. I started watching live streams and videos of Husky and Day9.Me and my dad played alot of 4v4s and 2v2s because if we 1v1ed each other, well lets just say I have ALOT more hours put into startcraft then he does. I Just recently got into Platinum. Im trying to get into diamond right now. Im in high platinum atm. I recently went mlg raleigh with my Dad. That was my 1st trip for something just starcraft related and it really meant alot to me.I got a alot of pictures and signtures of the pros like HuK, HerO, Puma, TLO, and many more. Someday I hope to be in the tournment. It might be next year or 10 years from now in sc3 or whatever, but im gonna be in a starcraft tournment!!!

Just keep plugging away. Always remember that there is something that you can do better, regardless of how you feel about the skill of your opponent. As long as you can keep the emphasize on what you can do better you can improve as a player. < I forget that all the time when I'm mad at this game : ). Do good in school too.

Good story bro. It's cool that your dad's so into starcraft. My dad hated it, and was always yelling at me to get off the computer. t.t

No offence, but my English was as good as it is now back in grade 7 (I was a blogger at grade 6)
(at least online) and I'm pretty sure there are other grade 7s that can write a lot better than him.
Also, you spelt English wrong.

@OP
Nice story

I wish my dad supported me in esports

but we're too asian (school > starcraft, which is true, but still

)
ONE DAY I WILL GO TO MLG
AND I WILL BLOG ABOUT IT.

Thumbs up my friend! Most of the progamers started at an early age, so you'll have a good chance. I'm not sure what sc3 would look like though.

Maybe before you start criticizing someone else's English, you should clean up yours first.
Offense, not offence.
Spelled, not spelt.

On topic: Glad you're involved in SC ^_^
