EPTIt's awesome to see a team give people a chance to show what they got, just getting into CA is pretty huge and especially gives so much more motivation to train harder and get better once you're there.
Good luck everyone.

Then the parent gets pissed off over something and the player suddenly can't make commitments wasting everyone's time. | ||

Have your parents talk to your team manager, understand the commitment involved, keep both parties informed, and once parents see it's a serious, honest business, they'll understand a bit as long as you don't slack too much in the rest of your life. | ||

I am an 11yr old 850pt master league protoss player, I run a vlog show, and get great grades in school while playing a lot of sc2 and my parents support it, they would surely and gladly talk to Jason about it over skyper or w.e. I agree with you, Pokebunny and don't see any issue. | ||

even tho i have NA account and ability to play according to NA time table. such a shame. Also, it's so weird that kids online think that if your 18+ and not already the best in the world, you've lost your shot at it. | ||

It's hypothetical scenario but has happened before to pro teams. | ||

Edit: grammer Yes, we're going to have a special sub-site made just for the academy. There will be lots of tourneys, coverage, videos, play-the-pros, 4v4 fun nights, etc. Michael Shane is going to keep the guys busy and get them plenty of coverage and exposure.  | ||

Some of the most technically/mechanically sound musicians/fighters/racers are all over the age of 30. Why would pressing buttons on keyboard be much more demanding than say, John Petrucci playing glasgow kiss, mechanically speaking?. also, what with 6 years of study, cant be improved upon with 16 years of study? all of this "herp only 13 year olds can be good" thing is a bit silly and totally overplayed | ||
