I am one of those players that have passed you. As long as you're enjoying yourself it's well worth it; work can come later in life.

You are about to find that your 40 hour a week job was cake in comparison.

Get ready for your 'new' 84 hour a week job. Cause that is what you are going to have to put into SC2 to even have a chance at competeing on a competitive level.

Either way, I wish you luck.

I cringe at choices such as these. If you naturally fall into progaming, it's one thing. To quit your job and dedicate all your time is completely different. At least you have a college degree to fall back.

Lol, i disagree. Most "pro" players in europe barely practise, atleast i remember DarkForcE telling that. If he continously practises for 40hours a week that will be enough if he has the talent. Of course you really need to use the time practising and not get lazy.

Ofc it needs to be more if you want to compete vs the koreans, although i'm not sure if time alone is a matter here, probably better to move to korea (for bettter practise partners) rather than play more.

Reasons like this are why NA/EU are so far behind in skill compared to Korea.

As someone who works a full-time job, and am 25 years old, I'm going to go ahead and say you've probably just made a huge mistake. I don't know what kind of job you had, but speaking from my own experience, gaming has passed me and become just a hobby. Even if I were good enough to reach the peaks of competitiveness for a few years, it would slowly fall by the wayside, and when the dust settles I would've gained very little. It's not something that I could put on a resume. I wouldn't make a lot of money doing it, nor would there be much, if anything at all going towards pension/benefits.

Personally, I think the best time for a gaming career happens at the end of high school until the point you follow your college/career path. This would give you the years from ~18-25 at best, and anything else afterwards is eating into the rest of your life.

That being said, it's your choice, and if you're going to do it, do it 100%. Good luck.

progamers dont really make that much money

its an industry dominated by the top 1%

those skills wont really transfer to any other carreer

so if it doesnt work out you've kinda screwed yourself over

so uh good luck but i can't say i particularly agree with your decision

Yeah that post basically summed up the korean domination hard.

I don't know why everyone on reddit is downvoting you and the ppl who are saying good luck. But good luck to you man! Don't let their "parenting bullshit" get to you. Follow your dream! That's what esports is all about! Don't give up and I know ill be rooting for you when you're at the top of the naplayers! It will be tough but im sure you'll make it given hard work and time!
