Once players can get million dollar contracts and we have several million people watching large events, you can talk about quitting school to play. For now, there is no logical reason to do so. | ||

Also did you manage the 50k viewers? I saw 48.5k at one point so you were close? | ||

The best pro-gamers have their years, but within a decade they're out of the scene. Then it's coaching, casting, managing, etc. - none of which are lucrative careers compared to, say, being a doctor. It's the same in professional sports, except that the pay there is a lot higher, and even then pro sports isn't seen as a stable career compared to being a doctor, programmer, etc. Hence the reason universities have scholarships and part-time programs for sports players - to make up for the opportunity cost of playing it. | ||

Can you invest into savings bonds of any sort?? Do they have some type of retirement plan?? Keep on dreaming big man. Stephano is smart investing in his future and is making the right decision. 10 years from now we can compare who gets the better end of the deal. The old washed up pro-gamer or the man that choose to do the right thing and go to school | ||

We are confident that StarCraft 2 is still in its early stages. We predict over 6,000,000 USD in prizes for 2012." "StarCraft 2 sold more copies in its first month than any other RTS. Since its release StarCraft 2 has had more tournaments and prizes than any other eSport since its release. SC2 according to Battle.net has over 700,000 online on January 11th, 2012. StarCraft 2 is aired on some television channels with MLG trying to get StarCraft 2 aired on ESPN. This has yet to happen but MLG hasen't stopped trying and as StarCraft 2 continues to grow it will only become easier to get it aired." http://www.progamingtours.net/index.php?/PGT-eSport-Review/starcraft-2-pgt-esport-review.html | ||

I hope that you mean 80k Danish krones (=14k $). If not, then I move to Denmark. Good tournament and congrats Stephano! | ||
