no it isn't. that's like if you went to school and instead of getting a percentage grade, you got a rank depending on how well you did on one test. except in this case, everyone is guaranteed to get nearly 100% and you're in direct competition to be slightly better than the rest of your class and you can't go home if you don't get the absolute highest grade. additionally, 100% isn't a set number, and is relative to how everyone else performs, and constantly becomes harder to achieve

You are missing the point of the quote. She didn't tell him that because she wants him to be the best progamer and if he didn't win that qualifier he would put shame to the family name. This guy, much like many many many other korean youths have gone against the typical norm in the society that got brought up in the trailer to try and become full time progamer and live their dream in this niche market. These guys drops school to play and try and become good so they can win amateur tournaments to get a foot into a pro team. Guys like this have for sure lied to their parents regarding school and stuff and been spending whole days and nights at PC bangs or at home playing Starcraft to achive this dream.
And in the end their parents will have had enough of this and says that if you can't make it happen this time you are done with this and give it up as long as you live under our roof or you are out of here. This was probably the case for this guy in the documentary.
