I am really not in support of any team signing anyone who has dropped out of high school. The NFL doesn’t sign anyone unless they complete 3 years of college and I think teams should always demand that people complete high school. | ||

think this says it all with the way this 'industry' is going in regards contracts, without knowing too much about team management sounds like kids giving contracts to kids . . . but im old so . . im irrelevant. as a brit ive only seen a few games of REcco but they did look pretty good but where has he been since . . i simply havent seen hiom in a game or even a cast by the few who regular cast games for that mytube thing. | ||

I have player bashed before, i will admit it, but there are some just straight up dumbass comments on the first page like "LOL what a patch zerg good riddance" etc. that should not be allowed at all. i think temp ban is not severe enough when people are coming into "player leaves x team" or "player joins x team" threads and just to call them patchzergs or what have you You must be one of those with the mindset that if you read no evil, there is no evil. It's not as embarrassing for the players that get buffs that help them overcome stronger players via a patch as it is for the publisher of the game that put those changes in. | ||

It doesn’t really have anything to do with the patch. It is more about clamping down on comments that are clearly malicious and provide no facts to back them up. That kind of stuff is just people being jerks and assuming other people will agree with them. | ||

Scottish do standard grades then highers and advanced highers. Then you go to university. He has finished his schooling (ie at least standard grades) as you are not allowed to leave until you do and are at least 16. | ||

Well I guess people have been jerks since August of last year calling the guy the thread is about a patchzerg. It's unfortunate he fell into this category. Should TL start banning everyone since this post and maybe before? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=361897#9 Anyway I don't wish to discuss this any further. Hopefully things work for out for him and he can find another team. | ||

I'm with Plansix actually. Feel bad for being a dick about a guy who is pursuing his drea . I'm not against players being criticised but it's the tone and smugness of it that is annoying. The most vocal player bashers invariably are those with the least clue about the game. It's becoming like 'real' sports where obese armchair dwellers insult the abilities and dedication of athletes. Starcraft is really fucking hard to play, if we want to keep a scene that isn't poisonous to sift through, then we should post better. I include myself in this. | ||

The same applies in the US and most states will not let you drop out until you are over 16 years of age, but you do not get a diploma. I stand by may statement that teams should not be signed anyone who is underage/has dropped out of standard public education. Every players should have finished at least the high school(or what every that countries version of high school is called) before they are signed to a team. Players cannot be a progamer for life and not one should be dropping out of school to become one. | ||

I'm not 100% sure that's a true story. REcco got called out by at least 10 players on Twitter, and as people have been saying in this thread, is known to be super BM. We should wait to see what Dignitas says. | ||

Shouldn't take more then a few months after HOTS is released. I hope mods permanently ban this clown for such a comment, good god thats disgusting! How sad we have such members in such an epic community. Anyways, GL to jonnyrecco, think he has to change up his attitude a bit if he wants to be picked up by a popular team. | ||

Whether the players graduated or not is literally none of your, or anybodies business. Teams have the right to sign whoever they want, and what the players decide to do with their education is their choice only - and again, none of your business. It should remain this way and catering to your idea would likely be more harmful than good. Not everyone gets the chance to finish standard education, and some of those people might actually want to try their hands at esports, and now they can't because someone on TL forums feels that they should have a higher education first? No thanks, bad idea. | ||

No thanks, bad idea. Its not the TL forums, is the rest of the competitive sports world. There is no professional sports team that you can join having dropped out of high school. The most successful sport in the US, the NFL, requires that all players complete at least 3 years of college. The NBA requires you to have finished high school and you cannot be drafted for one year after graduating. Almost all professional sports embrace the idea that they should not be used as an excuse for kids to drop out of school and require them to finish at least their basic education. | ||

He has finished high school. In the uk there is a second tier of high school education which is non compulsory and only useful if you are moving onto university. He has the equivalent of graduated from high school. | ||

Ah, your post was not 100% clear on the part that you would only go to the second tier of school if you were going to university. I assumed that not going to that higher level was the same as of dropping out. Not problems then, beyond being a minor, which is not huge. | ||
