yep, not as close to the epic levels of Day9 daily episode 100, but close...

I was so excited when he spoke that I accidentally slapped my little sister. Parents will probably pull the internet for the rest of the day but that was totally worth it

Lol. What? Doctor of Medicine? Hell, i'm a doctor of playing videogames. it was mentioned earlier in the GSL or was it a question answered by NesTea himself that after his SC 1 career that he went on to get a "normal" office job and returned to SC2 to make an awesome win in teh finalz and doubtful anyone who just wins 90k or whatever thinks they're gonna live with 90k forever, use common sense before you post?
Also, Doctor of Medicine.

This person makes me upset, your thought process kills me.
People give nerds a hard time because they like to "waste there life inside" Yet the average 21 year old just get's trashed whenever they can, I was told by a girl at work recently that I was wasting my time because I enjoyed sudoku.
I asked her what she liked to do and she stated "party", and I didn't reply by saying "you are wasting your life bitch." Instead I said well if that's what you enjoy doing then go do it, it's your life to do what you want. Following your dreams is something not many people can do, most people give up or pussy out. I completely agree with what he said in his speech and I am proud that he would go so far as to state that on air. I'm proud to be a nerd, and i'm proud to spend my time playing games. Because it's what I love to do, you my friend are part of the wrong community if you disagree.

By the way, if anyone's going to the trouble of grabbing the clip for YouTube, could you also get the SlayerSBoxeR advert that played between games 1 and 2? Between that and Junkka, I don't mind at all that I stayed up for seven straight games of 2-rax vs. 14 hatch [1].
[1] Not entirely accurate, I know, but close.

TBH, I thought it was a bit cliche. There are many new sports and games that come out and it's hard for it to become mainstream especially with the values non-Asian countries have. Yes, it is good to follow your passion, but you're going to need to balance it with a promising career. There's a reason why artistry, craftsmanship and social work has bad pay/been in the decline.
Also, I have a feeling this is going to get locked.

Stop for a second and think about how ridiculous you are.
Stop with that PHD bullshit it was just a random achievement you can get far with in life... just replace it with anything else highly accepted by the society and/or gives you a lot of money.

No need to turn this thread on its end just because some guy has a narrow and distorted view on life...
John is awesome, and I hope everybody contacts GOM to express how strongly they feel about him.

Its possible to go to University later on in your life, the sad thing is that youre defining a wasted life around a person's job, when the only measure of the worth of a person's life is their own happiness.

Le sigh, well do what makes you happy. There are plenty of post doc students making pretty average/low money for their level of education. People who feel then need to look down on everyone else from some perceived ivory tower probably have their own issue they need to deal with.

It's hard for people to understand the concept when they tie all notions of happiness to their level of employment, as opposed to the passion they have for it and other things in life.

If you define your goals by what makes you money or what is respected by society, then you may find that it is you that has wasted your life when you look back on it.
