A few more years of the Esports scene and no-one will ever have to be operated on by a surgeon without the micro skills to win a major tournament.

Funny enough: Thorzain beat Classic in a PL TvT, becoming the first foreigner in ages to win a PL match, and Classic proceeded to race-switch and become one of the better protoss players, probably quite embarrassed by that loss.

EG is truly where pro-gamers go to die then.

Good luck to Thorzain

The scalpel terran?

Nah, the sharp spoon is among the tools of the surgeon:

tbh it's only used for scraping skin lesions


Well, he's going to scrape the shit out of those lesions though.. And take his sweet time doing it..

My thoughts exactly. EG is a cash cow that great players use to cash out and hang it up.

Thorzain is reasonable. I approve.

It was a period when I was feeling very bad. I was playing very decent Starcraft but I wasn't feeling very well as a human being. I sat at home and mostly just played and went to tournaments. Nothing really wrong with that but I had no plans for the future and I didn't think playing was as fun anymore. I was mostly playing because it was the only thing I knew. I felt a lot of anxiety and it felt like I didn't really have anything to live for. I started becoming depressed and spent a lot of time searching the Internet for aid. I was very confused and didn't know who I was or where I was going in life. I regretted the past and worried over the future.


An interesting read and this paragraph particularly got through to me as it's something I've thought about in the past. Even if you do somehow make it to pro level, "pro gamer", for SC2 in particular, seems like an incredibly lonely career. Sure you can treat it like an eight till five job, but when you finish for the day then what? Not so easy to just go to the pub with co-workers since you're on your own the whole time. I guess it would be different with the whole team house thing but I can only think of three foreign teams that actually use team houses and in each of those team only a small portion of the players actually live there.

So he is doing like Welmu. Welmu is studing Compurter Science(?) in university and playing sc2 same time.
