Grats on the progress sir, keep fighting the good fight and I'm sure you can get there with the way you've dedicated yourself!

Have you been approached by any teams or actively looking for one? Or are you content for now just without one? I saw no mention of a team so my apologies if you are affiliated with one
Without a community, we're all just a bunch of geeks.

keep it up jaydog. I would reccomend getting some practice partners and practicing specific matchups on specific maps. Thats always helped me get better.

Oh and hte effects of alcohol turns out not to be a myth.

I remember that original post and I have occasionally wandered over to your blog to see your progress. Keep up the great work and I hope to see you on that stage one day!

Wow man, you're actually doing really well. :D Whenever I see these "going pro" posts, they don't realize how hard it actually is but you've obviously been practicing hard and are getting pretty good results so far. Keep it up!

Will you ever return to full time work considering your progress over the last 8 months or so? What are your plans for the future? What do your family think of your decision to go into Starcraft full time?

Is Sweden or any other Scandinavian country a good place to immigrate to?

It is so cool to actually see a thread of someone dedicating his life to Starcraft rather than asking whether he should do it or not. Also no shame in getting crushed by Rainbow, and 2-0'ing DDE is pretty damn good.

GL HF!

How old are you? What was your job before you decided to quit and pursue SC2 as a career?

I would like to suggest to anyone thinking about going the same path once or twice because the life of a gamer isn't very glamerous really.

That is literally what everyone told you lol.
