Not like he's still growing and needs sleep right... sleep at night and sleeping in the day is not the same thing. Some of our hormones are released on a circadian schedule, not least cortisol. Use a little more common sense in future. The hate and jealousness is strong in you! | ||

South Korea like breeds young players ages 10+ into pro gamers. I guess in Europe and North America that is something pretty new due to culture differences. | ||

No disrespect but there were good amounts of young Asian gamers South Korea/China taiwan that pretty much gained Pro level around 12, let alone hitting gm 9-11 years of age. Congrats I guess. But I mean Life/Maru are pro gamers and prob hit gm at a younger age on the ladder... South Korea like breeds young players ages 10+ into pro gamers. I guess in Europe and North America that is something pretty new due to culture differences. where do you get your stats from? | ||

It's common knowledge in Esports....any knowledgeable source like Artosis, hundreds of Korean articles on Maru/life, simple google search will do. Brood war had young farms that would have coaches come and pick up young talent for teams. Young pro gamers are common in Asia, let alone getting GM on B.net ladder..... Really doubt that the OP being 12 is the youngest in the "World" to reach like Battle.net GM. I mean were on Heart of the swarm..........Younger gamers were gm in WOL. | ||

Common knowledge as it is "known" but we have to take your word for it ? Until somebody says player X hit GM while being this old, then this guy is the youngest. | ||

Life and Maru, both born in 1997. GM introduced in patch 1.3.0 released in march 2011. Math says that that both players at that time were 13~14yrs old (not counting days), so, apart from unknown barcodes out there which we know nothing about, this at the moment makes Reynor the youngest --KNOWN-- GM. | ||

Proceeded to wreck the entire western scene until WoL release. kolll was very talented, but he also was some kind of "one build wonder". his success was almost exclusively built on 2 hatch muta builds and his sick muta control. still a great achievement. @topic: gratz to the kid. | ||

But to be frankly, I think StarCraft is waay more kid friendly than Call of Duty, GTA and a lot of other games that kids tends to be playing nowadays.  | ||

To be honest, I don't really find children becoming depressed and killing themselves funny. (Not saying this is the case here because Reynor obviously has a good support around him with mYi and his parents, and his more chasing a dream rather than being a waster) | ||
