Hello everyone I am Samson "TwitcH" Nazaryan and I was wondering if I had any potential in becoming a pro-gamer I am 12 years old and play 3 hours a day on weekdays and up to around 7-12 hours on weekends (I do have a life surprisingly.) I am going to play until i am around 16 and see if i am even making something of my life. I am a masters protoss. I made this thread (sorry if in wrong place I don't know where this would fit) to see if I am just wasting my time playing. I am trying to stream but when I do there is just a bunch of trolls or people complaining about my voice. Thank you so much for even reading this I would love to read your comments ( please don't troll me) and if you want to play some team games or practice add me in starcraft at Twitch. Thank You!

btw i named my self twitch because while im playing sometimes my i twitch >.<

You totally do. You just have to put in the time. But if you can be pro at 12 you'd be breaking SC records (I think HerO_Marine is 16?). Keep practicing and you'll be pro by SC3

Do you want to continue surprising people that you have a life, or do you want to become a pro-gamer?

All you need to do is answer that. Life becomes better when the only opinion you care about is your own.

nah you wont. i mean cmon. how realistic is it to become a progamer. i mean sure like maybe 2 % chance if you practice really hard.

.... but seriously just play for fun and if you get really good then try to become one. not when your just starting out.

Dude you can be anything you want at 12, and I regret not having any hobbies or passions when I was that young. Keep at it, play the game for fun and you'll only get better and better!

Hmmm i sense doubt in this one....If you have to ask, then no. If you believe in yourself and will not stop because of others, then maybe you do..believe...

What's your stream? I'd be willing to check it out...

Don't let your voice get in the way of streaming, every kid gets trolled online eventually.

If you're really 12 and already in Masters, then hell yea, you can become a progamer if that's really what you want to do! I would be interested in practicing, I'm a Gold/Plat Zerg player. If you want you can add me, my name and char code is Soleone#380.

...just kidding

it's great to have a dream, but remember to always have a backup plan in case this falls through! but if you can impress people, then by all means go for it!

I'm guessing when people are trying to say they have a life they mean they have a social aspect in their lives?

Anyway just follow through with your dreams, anything you will achieve will always be through hard work, there is almost no such thing as raw talent, you just put in a lot of work and you will achieve success

Everyone who is healthy and have average intelligence have potential to become a pro-gamer. Practice hard and good luck.

i'd encourage you lol. just know that when you want to work towards a goal, opposition will come by (i.e. gays calling you gay). at 12 you definitely have a lot of potential, counting the fact that you are masters.

If you have passion, go for it. But don't let your grades slip or your social life stagnate. Also a bit of advice: It's best not to give out your full name online in a forum.
