Parents here generally think video games are for lazy kids and think video games are just games. How would an American parent react if their son told them he wanted to become a pro gamer? The son would probably get laughed at and get zero support. Also, it isn't that glamorous to be a known WoW/Starcraft player here in So Cal. I would be crucified if my class mates knew I spend my spare time playing Starcraft. There could be some money in it of course, but I'm not sure how successful it would be. It might be successful with the hardcore crowd, but what about the casual crowd? yea pretty much this. in south korea, the sc pros are surrounded by girls like famous rappers in the US. pro gamers in the US seek to live in korea. far less people understand what being a pro gamer is about in the US. | ||

Maybe this announcement will help convert the more casual gamers or something of that nature, we don't know. I say we wait for the actual announcement before coming to conclusions. | ||

Gretorp announced that he quit his job and was going to become a full time progamer as his occupation, but I didn't understand why he would need to also move to California in the process. | ||
