Qxc and Day9 both going to college and have plenty of time to play games at very high levels and be active members in the sc2 community. The reason I say this is most pro gamers do not make a lot of money. Prize money from tournaments, sponsors and coaching is your source of income. Don't do it, go to college and work towards getting a long lasting career. You dont see 40 year old sc2 gamers for a reason. In the mean time keep improving playing tournaments and getting better because that is just fun and awesome. Do not make it your life focus like compscidude suggests. Instead go study computer science at a college and design your own awsome rts game. | ||

It's not that hard to combine becoming good at SC2 with your school or work until you are at the point of trying to win GSL. If you have talent for this game and put in your hours post-school you will still become good enough to win $100 open tournaments and such to get noticed by the community and teams. That is how most of the top players start off and there is no reason to take a different approach. Just play SC2, join some tournaments, do well, the rest will come later. how can you be so awesome everytime you post? | ||

I would highly suggest getting an education. Attempting to become pro this late in the game will prove to be a fatal blow to your financial stability. | ||

Even Idra has said that ten hours a day was excessive. It's quite possible to be a very good gamer and decent student at the same time, qxc is a good example. | ||
