If that the case then i apologize. This whole thing is silly, It is a parenting task and also part of growing up as a kid. To learn whats important in life for yourself. It's good because it should happen that kids study more, but it shouldn't be up to the government. | ||

I can't believe they are imposing such restrictions in an otherwise liberal democracy. In the West, enforcing this is called "parenting" and if you do a bad job it is your fault not the government's. You can't really tell from the article how close a "proposed" policy is to actually being law. im pretty sure the average korean doesnt want his country to be represented by a bunch of kids playing a video game lol | ||

Seriously though, the midnight to 6 law might not be all that bad, however 3hrs a day is really not that much, especially since the computer is the main "toy" for young people these days. Imagine if you told your son/daughter that they could only hang out with their friends for 3hrs a day and not more than 2hrs in a row, yikes :O | ||

You would imagine it would increase study efforts and the like, but it's more likely that those who have such bad habits to play too much would end up just browsing forums, chatting more, or even just playing games that require no SSID. You get the common problem of just replacing one thing with another. | ||

Edit: It's actually really funny how this gets brought up so often....if progaming is to be accepted, than we can't have laws like this tho..even if leenock did stop studying he can do it later right now hes BEASTING and I'd reckon having the time of his life. I don't have the time of my life studying. | ||

J.K In all seriousness, this law is taking it too far. As the general consensus has said, its the role of the parents to teach, and supervise their children. Balance IS essential, but playing too much games is the least of problems, I have learned History, math, memory, vocabulary, countless subjects from games. Games are great, and I don't see how with South Korea's education system that this could be doing much harm, they study and attend many hours more of School than most. All work and no play :| | ||

Sigh... my quote from FXO was 4 days after MLG Providence, and it was clarifying the statement Leenock made. It could have been mistranslated or misunderstood (Leenock could have been saying he got a break from school to go to that specific tournament or that he's not going to the same school anymore) From the liquipedia: "Although there was some confusion on this subject at MLG Providence, Leenock does go to school." | ||

I think Leenock is too young to stop studing and work as a player, per example. Playing games is no different from playing basketball or watching TV during your free time. It is the parent's job to regulate their kids.

Why is being a pro-gamer not "making their path in the world" ? | ||
