Aren't Korean parents usually supportive of their children playing StarCraft or even becoming pros? No, thats a myth made by foreigners. There is an old old interview with Savior and Boxer where they talk about how progamers didn´t get much respect as a serious profession. I am sure its better than outside of Korea. Or maybe they are big fans of BW  It's just rational thinking by parents. I would not let my son play 8 hours straight or move out to live with 15 others for the same purpose. I agree. I would be skeptical of their future. I would much rather my child get an education and a "real" job unless my son was Nestea. then I would totally let him game for 24 hours a day
Well, I wouldn't object to taking a year off after, say, high school and before college to try one's hand at progaming, but I pretty much agree. Especially when you consider that the average lifespan of a progaming career is around ten years.

Well, duh. But too many foreigner players seem to think that Koreans don´t have to deal with that kind of stuff . i was just trying to clarify. Actually i think Rekrul talked about something like that in one of his posts

Isn't that similar to what cArn is doing in Korea? I thought I read that somewhere but I'm not sure.

Your son wouldn't be Nestea if you don't let him practice. At the risk of derailing this into a parenting thread, I will say this:
If your kid is really passionate about something, don't get in the way of it. The highest level of success comes from a high level of passion. You could force them to be a doctor/lawyer, but you can't force them to be passionate about being a doctor/lawyer. At best, they will be mediocre at it and happy about its perks. From a parenting stand point, yes it will be a success. But you should at least believe that whatever unorthodox thing a child wants to do, he/she can do it well and can do it better than everyone else. In most fields, that will give you just as much security and he/she will be much happier.
Also, go w0n!

Major is Juan though...and apparently, the kid's dying to go to Korea. Maybe we'll have a similar situation in the future.  Apparently sixjax let go of him or he left sixjax ... unless another team picks him up and provides him with the necessary funds (or unless he's got enough cash to make it there on his own), I don't think it'll happen anytime soon. EDIT: NOOOOOO, SQUIRTLE.
How do you know he isn't in sixjax anymore? He is still on their roster on their website.
