I think its pretty hard to break into the LoL pro-scene, because probably alot is also about having connections and knowing people, not necessarily just being a good player. But just alone becoming a really good player is quite hard, because others started so much earlier =)

Good luck with your future projects!

I read your ama on reddit, those stories were pretty interesting to read I must say. I don't have a reddit account though, so I cannot post a question of my own but I wanted to ask something quick. Between pro gamers how often do you guys stretch or do exercises? I mean things to prevent carpal tunnel and such things. I'm just interested to know if the majority does stretch before they play or they don't. I know you should really do it anyways though.

I dont really know about others, i stretch my hands and neck a bit sometimes, but probably im doing it wrong :D
Probably its something very few pros do often enough and in the right way!

probably NL 6max cashgame. I started at NL10, moved up to 25 after a day and will probably keep moving up very quickly until i feel it gets tougher. I hope i can play NL100 or so soon. Could already make a living off that I guess. Higher would be better of course, but I dont

Never been much into MTTs SnGs etc.

What kind of bankroll management do you use when u can climb up limits so fast and are u going to make some videos and content about poker in future. I guess u would have some insightful stuff to say when u can already make a living out of it, probably im not the only one who's interested in ur pokersecrets^^

It seems all the retiring people quit SC2 and go back to Poker...which makes me think.....that they never play SC2 out of passion and love in the first place, it is all about money, thats my opinion
Regarding the imbalance, hilarious to see Zergs defending themselves....

Being progamer is so time consuming that you have to rely on money. I don't know where you are from, but in Germany if you don't have a good amount of money, you are not going anywhere. And being a progamer while also going to work... just doesn't work at least not on t he higher levels.

Everybody has bills to pay, and its not cheap to live in Europe ( in fact is it any where these days?). So unless you have a sponser , inherit money or get lucky on the lottery etc you have to work. I guess you already know this as most people do

DarkForce was terrible when he started and had no talent for the game, yet with his incredible learning skills and perseveration he became one of the best zergs. Had he kept playing with passion longer he could have done extremely well in international tournaments. He is one of the few progamers who openly express their opinion, which deserves a lot of respect.
GL with poker and LoL, I'm sure he will do well.
