Still, out of millions who play, there must be 400, 500 cases in which a)parents (hesitantly) support b)mature enough to decide on their own path c)doesnt give a damn about parents. Kid like Shinystar probably doenst fall into any of those category but if he keeps on trying and gets some success, he will achieve point a or else, point c lol Right. Ten years ago, people didn't even think (rightfully so) that you could make a living off of this, even if you are the best. Now there is absolutely no doubt that you could make a very good living if you are the best (in fact, very very very very good). Nestea has already hit 200kish USD in a year. Not to mention the investment into the future (although, quite risky) that the game will continue to grow. I mean, FlasH makes about what... 300-400k? We are just about half off in one year what BW managed to do in 10. No one knows what will happen in the future. If SC2 grows as much as BW or more, then your time investment will pay off very well. SC2 has the potential to harness the entire world as a market, rather than just Korea. The road was already paved by the brave men (and women) who helped BW grow. Back on the (off) topic, no one will ever be the best or competitive if he isn't passionate about it. Sometimes you have to believe in your kid, and realize that it is a risk/reward situation, just like everything else in life. | ||

It's definitely a myth. Almost every Starcraft interview where a progamer was asked how he got into progaming consists of the usual parents wanted me to study/had to play in pc bangs in secret/ran away from home to pursue my dream, etc. The idea that Koreans have it easier to become progamers has to do with infrastructure and peer pressure, not parental support. | ||
