Love it! So great to give kids the chance to make the jump. There is alot of talent out there in the masters field with people who only are able to play 2-3 hours a day ( or less)... hopefully opportunities like this for name recognition and such will allow them to practice like a pro. Everyone knows practice makes a world of difference in almost everything, and even more so in SC.

That's great, to bad you don't solely focus on skill.

Met someone from coL at MLG who told me to apply for this, so I'll probably make a video tonight. Seems like an awesome opportunity!

This is such a great way to not only recruit people and give players a chance to go for it, but also a great way to promote Starcraft 2 Esports once again. Thank you compLexity for this awesome step forward.

So there's no talent under eighteen? Ouch.

You would know

I guess there's higher potential for players to lose interest or be a twat if they're under 18. I feel for players like you though Pokebunny.

I think this was up on coL's site earlier this week, but cool news anyway.

When will the 20 chosen players be announced? Pokebunny you'll have your chances don't worry. Besides Peter Pan, we all grow up sometimes.

Only reason its over 18 is because of U.S laws and they really do not want any legal problems so its easier this way, anyway- this is a really good idea.

Hey everyone, over this weekend I will be selecting the top 20 applications for the academy. I just want to thank everyone who has applied and wish you all the best of luck. The exact date for the tournament is not set yet but should be announced by Monday when the top 20 will be selected.

Also, we are now accepting shoutcaster applications. We're hoping to find a talented person who may not be well known yet.

This reminds me of SC101 from sc2gg.com way back in the day. I applied for that when in college and never got in

.

Would apply for this in a second if I wasn't going to Africa for 6 months. Good luck to all who apply. Ma haps I can get into round two when I get back (assuming there is one)
