Yeah best of luck Malice. Though I can't help but express my concern. I hope you don't expect to make serious money from streaming for a long time. Because even some high level pro's (oGsVines comes to mind) only average about 2K viewers. EGmachine I don't think even averages 1000. At 2K viewers streaming about 12 hours a day you can make some decent money but that's way more than 40 hours a week and people tend to get sick of the game after that.

So your best bet is tournaments and making yourself known to where tons of people want to watch you stream. Example is Stephano who wasn't getting too high viewers but recently averages like 7K viewers spiking at 11K because everyone became interested in his play. Also not sure if you have a salary via your team but that would also be a factor.

So yes I wish the best and hope you make it big. Practice hard and play hard. Looking forward to seeing you play in tournaments.

Why not just ask for holidays or some type of leave for a few months instead of quitting? :|

I probably won't be going to this, just because it is on a Sunday and I have to be at work at 8am on Monday. I'll let you know if my status changes.

I hate the fact that my job keeps me from what I love, so I hope this works out for you Malince. Sometimes it's hard to find the right stepping stones and you just have to leap into thin air.

This guy has already been successful.

And i know people dont like Idra, but if this dude can get half of the achievements Idra has then his SC2 career will be fine.

I played Mage back in the glory days of BC Raiding. Loved watching you in Arena.

GO GO Malice!
