Best in the world? Losing your shot? No one said that. You are putting words in my mouth. Hell, at this stage no one is the best. -_- When I speak, I speak from experience. Players under 18 have the most room for development. This isn't a baseless opinion. It's been proven. | ||

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. not all parents are logical and understanding of these sorts of things. | ||

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 haha okay okay I was a bit overboard but I feel like they could miss out on some youngsters who have spent their entire childhood playing SC2. Coupled with their quick natural reflexes and experience as they grow up...they will revamp the pro scene just like little Flash, Baby, and Jaedong did. Gotta start young. But I am not saying that older guys can be good. But the younger kids bring advantages. | ||

I don't know, I feel like as long as you are in control of the rest of your life (school) and have proven that it is a real intellectual challenge and talent to them, only the most conservative of parents would just shut you down completely. I'm white though, maybe in Asian families it would be different? Shrug~ | ||

It's been proven. link to reputable study please? I'd genuinely be interested. Didn't realise all humans peaked in potential pre 18. Perhaps your confusing time commitment/responsibility with some sort of pre defined biological clock that says "hey your never gonna be good now" If you're correct tho.. then damn.. we as a species really need to rework the education system completely (well thats already true) but now for different reasons. anyway, gl CoL. nice initiative @Golgotha - Yeah we can all agree on that i think, a definite advantage to start young  | ||

As for the other guy, I'm not going to go data mining for those papers and VODs. It doesn't apply to every facet of education, lmao. Don't have to over exaggerate. I oversimplified for a reason. Development can mean many things. Anyway, Brood War was the main source of the material I'm talking about and if you look closer at the BW scene you will see how their system works and take notice of when players peak and start fading away. There have been several studies on players such as XellOs, Midas, NaDa and BoxeR to name a few. I think you will be surprised with regards to how much content they have and how many studies they've done on such players. It is true the U.I. in SC2 is more friendly, but we've only scratched the surface and players like Nestea can rise above the competition regardless. Still, the fresher they are the better they will be. | ||

With SC2 being a 1v1 game this won't be an issue and we're confident the program will be successful. Sure there will be bumps in the road but we believe in the academy. | ||
