@marttorn - Thanks a lot, hopefully I can make that work ^^ @Probe1 - I'm very grateful for that, thanks for stopping by, it means a lot to me. @Anuzi - Aww, thank you! Hopefully it is something for you! @Swwww - Actually I'm done with the "get a job" thing and sitting in one - but I would like to try out something else. I'm still grateful that you are caring for me! :-P And if you consider enjoying life to the fullest as a waste, then, well, our concepts of life simply differ. | ||

And apart from that I'm currently practicing to talk while playing to give you guys some insight into how I play - hopefully that makes my stream more attractive! | ||

It's good to finally see someone of substance attempt this. Most people who blog about this are generally between bronze and diamond and honestly have no shot. It's a big decision to make, what do your family think about this? Do you have any backup plans just in case this doesn't work? | ||

As much as I hate "going pro" blogs, you're not misguided, you're making responsible choices (not quitting a job, etc), and you're GM already. Best of luck. | ||

@inbox24 - My Father is really supportive about this, he literally told me that I should do it, because if the chance has passed, getting back into normal life is quite easy, whereas its incredibly hard to get another chance for something that you really want. My Mother is really simple in the way that she says that I should go for it, when theres money to support myself ^^ My Backupplan is that I will keep my job when things don't work out, so I have a span of nearly 6 months to see if I can achieve what I'm hoping for .. or not. @N.geNuity - Thank you very much! I know that there are a lot of those blogs out there, thats why I actually made an effort to explain everything that I think about it (...maybe to inspire other people to overthink their own choice? ^^) @John Madden - Thank ou! I'm trying my best to be that guy for you (and myself, obviously). | ||

I'm sort of known to show a great hunger and passion to learn when it comes to things that excite me (football and StarCraft), over time I get better but then the hard work area tops off. For football, it was probably because I wasn't playing with better people, just the same set of people every other day. Might have more to say I guess? But I'm sorta writing a research paper about esports and I took a break reading all these stuff. Haha. | ||

Anyway, good luck because you are definitely going to need it. HotS is right around the corner and judging from the new units. Blizzard did it again. Everything we once knew is obsolete. | ||

The main thing I wanna ask about is, would you think it viable to actually spend time in playing StarCraft to strengthen my play when I wanna actually invest time into the game, which is right after college in a year and a half? Like securing my spot for later on and all that. Honestly I'm not really sure what you really want to ask - if you want to pick up SC2 more seriously, then yes, you should definitely invest more time into it ^^ A lot of people overestimate the time thats neccesary to practice SC2 or just duck away from the time that they could spend on SC2. If you sit at the computer 2-3 Hours a day, then you already have a lot of time at your hands, that you could use to get up into masters league or even GML, depending on how resilient you are with your practice schedule  (In which league are you now?At first I was like, "Oh, so these blogs are still floating around"; but, after skimming through everything you wrote there is some actual credibility for once. A welcome change. Anyway, good luck because you are definitely going to need it. HotS is right around the corner and judging from the new units. Blizzard did it again. Everything we once knew is obsolete. I would say that a new environment should even make it easier to get into the competition, because theres a new set of rules that helps you not playing against strategies that have been done and practiced for weeks and weeks. | ||

@Felo: well, i'm Computer Science, i spend around 6 hours a day. not just playing SC2 though. but most of my time is spent off-game, reading and watching. i just got into applying things, i'm a silver hoping to jump to plat (been winning against alot of them). and i'm getting a new account, so i really hope i'm plat worthy. something I need right now though is a razer BW (saving up for one) and i'm on a mac, so the best i can play without lag is on lowest. but i hope to hit plat anytime soon. haha. | ||
