Wow sick news. Makes me want to grind the ladder really bad and get back to where I was two-three months ago and more.

It'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.

Yes I totally agree.

Shrug. It's mostly a matter of communication. 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.

Our academy team is a team that is made up of people inside vVv gaming, not for anyone who applies. This academy team sounds like anyone, who meets the requirements, can apply.
Live it up.

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.

i was pretty excited, then noticed its limited to NA.
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.

true about the age thing. 18 is actually very old. the true gosus are actually the kids that are playing at the age of 10

they will grow up with SC2 and hit a peak at 16.

btw will there be a house? if you are not even going to have a house for these players when you surely do not need to be 18...

Cool story.

Contracts are worthless if signed by minors, even with guardian consent.

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

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.

I have already said twice in the last 5 minutes that coL should let kids play in this thing, if they're parents can agree to it there is no problem at all, I am not trying to being annoying but I fight for what I believe and I have been trying to get into coL forever (I am that BaddyKid guy) and this is my best oppertunity.

lol.

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
