No... in any sport your "talent", whatever that might be, is the basics or fundamental strength of your gameplay which differentiates you from your competition and gives you an advantage against other opponents. You simply then cultivate it and make it stronger by training and conditioning it.

He is what we in sport calls an amateur player. And is these talented amateur players WCS was made to promote and it already working. Now he can start making money for himself in code S. Who knows Maybe Bunny decide to go full time professional. So you could say the WCS EU is already a success.
He is still on a respectable team, might get salary and plays for money. If thats your definition of pro-gamer than there are lots of amateurs in Korea and all those Halo/CoD kids should stop calling themselves pro-gamers.

He knew about the circumstances beforehand and should have prepared accordingly by adjusting his time, which I do believe that he have (he is a pro after all and these qualifiers are serious business). If not well then he certainly shouldn't have any problems doing so after two crazy late nights attempting to get through. :D
The ping is out of his hands though, obviously.

Taketv stream is still on, are qualifiers still going??

^ Great post, thanks KalWarkov!

Are there replays available??

MVP vs MMA for Europe! Sounds good >_>
less lag kills them both.

I'm really happy all the qualifiers are going at the moment, 2 Milleniums and 2 great Terrans, I am a satisfied man.
Feast is the 4th Millenium to play in a code S, Millenium is one of the most represented teams in the WCS. 
I think most of the qualified players will crush some invitees such as Monchi, Titan (Wtf?), Hasuobs, DIMAGA and SortOf.
This will be an interesting championship.
|
how the hell ya'll gonna call this code s? w/e i guess, blizzard has entirely fucked up the meaning of "code s champion".
grats to feast for qualifying btw!
|
Guys stop the whining, bunny won and had one of the hardest road to code s so far out of all qualifiers.

A lot of people would define it as someone who makes their living (or most of their living) from playing. Someone who plays part-time (i.e. progaming is like a part-time job for them) would probably be called a semi-pro player. University students like Suppy come to mind (semi-pro).

Mvp and MMA are seeded, so they don't have to worry about lag. They'll be playing "offline."

Looks like the qualifiers are a success so far, three Terrans in already. It was looking like T would be the least represented race by a mile but that's quickly changing.

Isn't there going to be a lot of league play in Premier (Code S)? That will be online, but the Round of 8 will be at an offline finals, I thinik.

I thought the entire premier league was offline, but maybe I'm wrong.

Nope, RO32 of premier league will be online.
But anyway Mvp and MMA will have to travel to Europe for the Ro32 or they will lose for sure.

well considering LG-IM's money and Acer being housed in Germany, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
