Not so much sleep, more like my sleep schedule. I still get enough sleep, it's just from like 6am to 2pm-ish haha.

When the game came out in 2010 I had exams, pretty much screwed up my second semester because of sc2 (my own dumb fault ofcourse).

Other than that just money, well spent money.

A hundred bucks for a nice mouse and time that would have been spent playing poker.

So worth it.

abnout a dozen university grades that could have been 1,3 (A-) to 2,0 (B) instead became 2,3 (B-) to 3,0 (C) since the release of WoL. Also, I failed 4 exams entirely in the summer of 2010. And no, these are not bullshit US grades where you snore in class to get a B. If you do that here, you get at most a C- unless you're highly into the subject at hand which I doubt since it was mainly 19th century British lit.

* Derailing the thread by stating that the US has the world's best universities *

Also - spent 20$ on GSL back in the day, and other than that - time.

sacrificed seems like a very strong word lol. i agree with everyone else that the word invest is more appropriate. As far as what i have invested; A TON OF TIME!

A lot of money and time! I graduated with a degree in Molecular Biology, went to the first MLG event that had SC2 on it (Raleigh 2010) and competed. It was my first real LAN event for anything and I absolutely loved it and had to get involved. Been working as an admin ever since, and every day I'm trying to get more and more involved. Would love to make a career out of competitive gaming. Unfortunately it means living off a pretty small budget and taking a lot of jobs I wouldn't have considered given my degree (working at a car wash for example) so I can afford to take the time off to travel to MLGs but hopefully it'll all be worth it in the end. And if it never works out then hey, I'll take out some loans and go get my Masters.

A lot of time, grades, money, and more time. Well worth it, though. I feel like I could leave my current life behind and just live an eSports-centered life.

I’m like some here.
Married with 2 kids and full time career means the only time I’m willing to spend dedicated to Starcraft is late night.. which means I sacrifice sleep mostly.

I'd be a lot richer if I hadn't played SC2 at all

so I'm guessing a lot of time would be the correct answer
