And IMO, I don't think Korea is in its 'mature' stage right now yet either. I mean, besides the very top of the progamers, most earn very little money =[ Pros also feel the need to have a strike to get the prizes raised, because currently, the lesser pros don't have much to earn income. 8 hours of constant practicing is crazy too, heh I don't really think professionals in other 'sports' practice 8-10 hours a day straight  | ||

this will eventually happen elsewhere, as is already the case in nordic and european countries. | ||

I play football and I've had 8 hour practices and they SUCK. You are too tired to do anything after, and I a do mean ANYTHING. I'd gladly sit on my ass and play games for 8 hours if thats what i did for a living and people didn't think i was a complete loser. lol =O | ||

I don't think it will happen in our lifetime, or else some 10 year old addict will be earning 100 000 dollars which is rediculous. You can play pro football the rest of your life but progaming can only go so far. I'd call Boxer a loser if 5 years from now he is still playing starcraft. | ||

People don't give some nerd playing ten hours a day away from everyone and alone in his basement any respect. I mean spending 10hrs a day practicing hockey with other people is more respectable than being secluded with a computer for 10 hrs.

You can play pro football until the next injury to your spinal column. And, if 5 years from now, if Boxer's still playing (presumably because he's still skilled and the game's still popular), most will be calling him "a rich bastard." | ||
