Woah, a progamer past interview with something different than "I liked the game and worked hard".

Amazing to see openminded parents supporting MvP the way that he did, really awesome to see

They should honestly interview his did. I remember before the World Championship finals they did this huge thing on MKP where they even interviewed his parents on how they had not wanted him to be a progamer. I I think I remember something similar on MMA before the super tournament. They took them down though :/

Anyways MVP is just so boss, he has already been really at the top of the scene for so long and has such great experience that he would make a great coach when his playing days are over.

Now we know why MVP is such a baller. His dad really seems like a great parent.

Awesome article on an eSports parent. The weird thing about this is that this is the story I hear more often in mainstream sports (as opposed to someone putting them down etc.) so it's good to see a pro-gamer with such strong support.
A man does what he must — in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers, and pressures — and that is the basis of all human morality.

this is great and it seems that mvp and his dad are nice people and i wish the best of luck to them!

but in general i think, as a father you should not talk your son into trying to get a progamer. This is like talking your son into playing lottery.....i mean if it ends up well, fuck its great then.....but how high is the risk of failing?

What if he would not have been able to reach the tip top?

Even if hes only some average pro like so many, how long will he be able to earn money with that? like 5-10 years? If he did not mange to earn as much as he needs for the rest of his life, he will get a problem once, because he wont find a good job.

A lot of pros nowadays think the can work in the esport as coach or something later on....but to be honest, in like 10-15 years, there will be so many ex-pros that they can not all work as coach or something similar, they will just have to get a job outside of esports, without a good edjucation (a lot of them at least) and without practice in any particular work.

this guys may now have a good time, but 95 % wont manage to earn as much money as they need fo the rest of their life, and only a few will find a job in esports after their progaming career. If your really smart, like stephano, you do both, fucking own in sc2 and study....but that is just an exception.

MVP's dad, #1? I believe so.

It's pretty cool that his dad was really open minded, and was the one who suggested pro-gaming to him.
