WHY HELLO THERE LIQUIPEDIANS!
I'm YesEvil, and I am a 17 year-old Aussie who would take the opportunity to become a pro gamer if I was given one.
Anyways I'm a keen player/supporter of SC2, WoW and CSS. I love to play, and love to see the pros play it out. I have been competitive in CSS before, and I'm talking CEVO here.
Missing the buzz of competitive. If any pro is keen to help me out, then I welcome it.
Anyway, base points about me are:
- Loves games - Plays Protoss - Is 17 - Loves competition - Is an Australian - Wants to be the next MC
Always wanting to hear advice on my game.
Moving on, I also love other "real" sports, like Soccer/Football. But still prefer competitive games.

Thanks for reading the basic intro to my digital life, YesEvil - 358

You are an aussie? PM Kiante, and he will show you how shit is done here.

You have too much hobbies to be a progamer.

You had me at "Plays Protoss"
Welcome!
Make sure you read the TL Commandments (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=17883) and hopefully you enjoy the forum! ^^

haha, becoming the next MC is quite hard. There are so many factors involved. ^^ I can only say good luck with it and try to have a backup plan ready if it doesn't work out. MaNa for example wants to go to University, even though he is such a strong player. glhf! (^_^)

Best of luck to you.
If you dont mind, some of my thoughts:
I feel that if you put in significant effort, and have some natural talent, you may go far, especially due to the relative weakness of the SEA scene (no offense) compared to the Korean and EU scenes.
However, one of the problems of pro-gaming, and possibly sports in general is that everyone sees only the top players and how the top pros make money. If you are second tier, your tournament winnings are unlikely to provide any meaningful income, and thus the efforts that you have put in practicing will seem to be wasted.
But if you have had a competitive background in SC2, you may find other jobs in the future, such as casting, which is much more stable of a career. Once again, best of luck to you.

What a happy post . I hope you find someone to help you, you sound so idealistic and young and filled with positive expectations lol.
Well..just wanted to say good luck. Also I wanted to second bagration's post, because it is difficult to become an sc2 progamer...if you *really* have a passion for it, then you should go for it. But keep in mind most pro gamers have a back up plan or a degree in some other field so that they can get a job even if it doesn't work out.
If it doesn't work out you could become a caster, but there are currently a lot of casters in SC2 (it doesn't really require an education, and its fairly easy to explain what's happening and entertain people if you have a sense of humor)...so I'm not sure how many more they really need. I suppose you could cast lower level tournaments, but it seems kind of depressing to settle for casting if your pro-gaming goal fails to work out.
