If anything, this will greatly strengthen zerg as July is the master of battle mechanics, thus named "TuSin" the god of war. Pre-Muta stack era's offensive zergling lurker mechanic, where lurker tanks and zerglings dps has his name on it. Before you go do your anti-Korean cries, even though you will never face a pro Korean or a pro, think about the new mechanics that will be introduced to the game.

he said that "I think the game has gotten more difficult compared to the original"
so SC2 is much harder than SC:BW now? o.O
JD and Flash please switch NOW!!!!
I'd say that SC2 is easier to learn to play than BW, but may prove to require more skill in the long run, the game is quite infantile in its play-style and it will definitely evolve constantly until at least a couple of years after the final expansion - likely until it dies out same as BW (which still isn't completely dead). I'm not trying to argue one game or the other - I like both equally.

Shouldn't he be moving on with his life? I mean, I can't imagine his salary will be large, even if the potential (maximum) reward is high. But that will depend on his ability to succeed, and odds on, this is low, just statistically.
You really don't want to come out in 5 years, nearly age 30, with no useful real world skill set, and minimal savings.

Move on? Why should he move on if he has a chance of getting 85k $ by doing something he loves and is beast at?

It's extremely +EV for July to become an SC2 progamer, there's plenty of money to be earned and he is one of the favorites to win big parts of it. Besides that after retiring as a progamer himself he will have plenty of career choices like becoming a coach, a caster and so on.
"Minimal savings"? The guy has had his living expenses paid for him for the last few years while having a steady stream of salary and the occasional tournament win. I can't imagine a person practicing 10h+ a day being able to get rid of such amounts of money.

do what you enjoy... not whats going to get you a big house in 10 years time.

He still gets paid 85k? That's pretty good! I thought he was B-team by now!, and earning peanuts. Even with 500k though, that won't set you up for life.
I still don't think he'll succeed in SC2. That's just my opinion. Being a caster is far more dependent on your personality than on your SC experience, and I don't think this is an option for him. The coach thing may be an option; but again, that is also rather dependent on other factors.

Sad to see BW going the way of the Dodo but also great to see some of our old favorites will be returning to try their hand at SC2.
Yeah, I got this quote from page 2 of this thread, but I really had to laugh at the expression..
Anyways, I am very excited as to see what the old PGs have up their sleeves, and I also wouldn't mind reading why JulyZerg thinks that SC2 is more difficult than SC.
I'm an avid SC2 gamer and I never really played SC but even to me SC2 looks easier (in terms of GUI). Maybe he meant strategy?

I strongly disagree with these types of statements. Life is far more than having fun. Eventually you'll have responsibilities, and a career will be important. It would be great if you could have both, but most people don't (get to) have one's cake, and eat it too.

He's julyzerg, he already has a career of e-sports, he'll always be able to be a coach or w/e after he stops playing, I strongly disagree with you statements.

My local checkout assistant has worked there for 10 years. Because of that, he will always be able to be a manager, or whatever.

Brazilian doesn't always win the world cup. Korea has never lost WCG Starcraft... NEVER
If the pros get into sc2...
/agreed though, it does not make the game less interesting.

What? 500k is huge. You can get 50k a year with just interest on a bank account (which is nearly the same as median families in USA earn). Also progaming is growing and his involment with it will surely enable him to get a job there of some kind even if he completely fails with his own progamer career. How is that not enough?
