I love Starcraft, but screwing up your entire life prospects for it just seems silly. I actually agree with that post, unless you really become one of the toppest then you won't have a backup plan if your starcraft carreer doesn't go so well and besides not only education is important at this age but also the social experiences and such; i believe you need that for your upcoming life wether it's in the esport or not... | ||

In all honesty, sixjax is setting out to be the best sc2 team by around this time next year. I believe they have the ability to do so with the financial support backing the team right now, but there are some things, in my mind, that are more important than pure skill. I've tried to balance the teams I've lead with skill/manner/overall behavior because I believe those are key factors to running a successful team, but we will see what happens! Money certainly can change people  It will also be a huge mess for Juan if he wants to team hop again, since he is under contract, and it wont be something easy to get out of if he pulls his regular fiascos.

That's a healthy attitude, good to hear. I hope this work's out for Artosis' sake but I doubt it. | ||

ROOT will find new players who dont require as much attention as gositerran does, they will still be a top NA team and they will keep growing. gositerran will hopefully settle down with an already established team, focus on getting better and be a positive force in the sc2 foreigner community. I'm sorry what, that's like the example someone else made, picking up PiQLiQ and it would end up bad. Exactly what has Terran achieved in SC2 so far to be called "known" player? And this whole ROOT gaming house rent issue is getting hilarious. Read up a bit on what it actually is please :D | ||

Good luck sixjax I hope he doesn't leave immediately for greener pastures. Maybe I am wrong and I will humbly apologize if he proves us wrong. | ||

Read up a bit on what it actually is please :D Terran is nothing like PiQliQ though..... Gosi[Terran] was one of the top players outside of Korea in BW at the start of the SC2 beta and on the same level as IdrA and NonY, arguably better. He was good enough to spend most of his time practising with top Korean players and while the ladder doesnt mean anything, its still impressive given how little time hes been playing SC2. I wasnt surprised when he left Root after like a month, hopefully Artosis can temper him a little and lead him to some team stability though Im not holding my breath, contract or not. | ||

I think his attitude is very reasonable. Putting up the amount of time it takes to play at top level and do your sponsors right requires that your sponsors do you right. If they can't help with some of the costs involved with getting to and from tournaments where the player is promoting their goods then the player would be wise to seek out a team with sponsors who would. Being able to grind games out is very important and gosi was very well rounded and I think he will do very well. I can see him losing to someone with white-ra's style, but with enough practice he can close those gaps. | ||
