Since when do you choose a game you want to play based on how feasible it is as a career? He'll play what he wants | ||

It's one of the reasons I am stoked about NonY doing it. I have another SC2 fan to cheer for. Honestly, I was losing interest because of HS and OW. NonY is bringing the passion back in me. | ||

The viewership numbers just aren't there, teams are disbanding, players are all retiring. Everyone else has already moved on to MOBAs, coaching or casting. Not a good move financially to be pro at sc2. Could be fine as a hobby, but can't be good enough to reach top level if its just a hobby. How do you know so much about Nony's financial situation? | ||

Its not a good move financially to be pro at sc2. There are no viewers, which means no individual sponsors, and which means the few remaining teams (which are pretty much all disbanded) have low salaries. Not a good move. How is this not clear from my post? | ||

How is this not clear from my post? In Nony's original tweet he talks about wanting to do it and it being a personal goal to go to Blizzcon. Nowhere does he say "I am doing this because it will be a great financial move." Maybe judge people less? Him returning to SC2 doesn't negatively affect you, and it's totally up to him. Quit being so negative for no good reason. | ||

You said you can't reach top-level if it's 'just a hobby' which I interpreted 'you have to play full-time to reach top-level', even though Nony may have enough money to play full-time for a year without making a dollar from SC2. It's pretty silly for you to assume Nony didn't use his brain when deciding to return, and rude to be so dismissive of somebody obviously following their passion. | ||

It's pretty silly for you to assume Nony didn't use his brain when deciding to return, and rude to be so dismissive of somebody obviously following their passion. it's pretty honest of him to just name the financial situation of a sc2 progamer as he perceives it. Then again, it's a bit of a no-brainer i admit. I don't think he tries to be dismissive about nony's passion, when he saying "Not a good move financially to be pro at sc2" But it surely is no reason not to come back. Plenty of folks play their favorite game still/came back whit a lot of dedication and zero monetary incentive. | ||

so i'll just say this, remember your snide holier than though responses to this post months from now, as team X,Y,Z announces disbanding and player A,B,C announce the switch to coaching a LoL team. Although I guess with EG disbanding their sc2 squad there really aren't any big teams to disband anymore. Team liquid is still around, but i'm not sure how many players on their roster are actually still active. Even if it were naniwa or stephano who had way more success in sc2 than nony did announcing a return, i'd have the same response. it makes way more sense for nony to either go back to BW like many pros are, where he actually had legit success, or move on to LoL or DOTA where there's actual money | ||
