Yes, yes I am I was, too, until I remembered the day when I was 12 that I practiced Nintendo Tetris until I could get a perfect score on level 19. And the weekend I spent beating FF3 without sleeping. And the summer I spent playing Pokemon Puzzle League every day. And the hundreds of hours I logged playing Tekken Tag Tournament so that I could win a t-shirt in a tournament at the local mall. And now I'm 30, and I have kids and a job and an apartment to clean, and I'm struggling to get into Master league, but I'm not sad. If I were 13 again, I'd be in Masters, too. | ||

I'd say that being a 12 or 13 year old masters player is an amazing achievement and validates the thread. By the time you're 15 or 16, you're probably at 80-90% of your normal mental ability, whereas a 13 year old seems more like 40-50% to me. Obviously, I'm no doctor but as a normal person, I find such a young masters player to be very impressive. | ||

This is not revolutionary. Anyhow, to the OP, good job on taking the initiative to get a stream started, etc. Shows a lot of "want". I'd just echo a lot of the rest of the thread and tell you to be careful as a young person on the internet. By putting up a stream with a web cam, you're really putting yourself out there, and there's plenty of adults who can't handle the criticism/scrutiny that comes with public exposure. | ||

Also, like you said you're not a doctor don't quote mental development numbers at anyone without any remote from of information to back them up. That's kinda like me saying there's a 100% chance donkeys will take over the world within 1 year from now (in the sense that it's total bullshit and there's nothing to back it up.)

I guarantee you that I play far less than any 13 year old. Those of us who are adults have lives, work (which for me takes up many nights) and we barely get to practice at all. I don't find being young to be a detriment. In fact, you don't have to support yourself, so you likely have FAR more time to play the game and get better at it. Talk to me when you're paying your bills AND getting better at SC2. As far as mental development goes: 13 year olds are perfectly capable - you've learned Algebra by 13, why wouldn't you be able to play Starcraft? | ||

Its not that masters is hard (for anyone that really tries), but doing it at that age means that he has the potential to become great if he keeps playing. Like someone else mentioned, he still has at least 5 to 9 years of not having to support himself (HS & college) so ... gl hf kid | ||

if a 18-year old is masters thats not interesting at all, but a 13-year old that already is at that skill level is like a footballplayer playing with kids 5 years older than him and beating them. of course its relevant and impressive.. maybe i just think this way because im 27 and not threatened.. i would not be surprised if most of the haters in this thread is around 17-20 | ||

Why do you bring negativity into the thread? Does this guy mean that much in your life that you have to go out of your way to post something ridiculous in his thread? Do you really need to "prove" that it isn't impressive, that it doesn't matter, that he shouldn't be watched? If it really means THAT much to you then YOU'RE the one with problems. If he thinks it was important enough to focus on his age then let him. + Show Spoiler + I suppose some people were not raised with proper etiquette. Just happens a lot of them flock onto these forums now. Very sad to see imho. edit: Holy shit the people in this thread O.o Finished posting here. | ||

If you don't have much to say then there really is no reason to say it.On a very VERY hypocritical note, I really don't see why he used the age in his title. It irks me. When Illusion (used to be on vile, and revoki previously) began as a high masters / GM player, he was 14. I never heard once from his mouth "by the way, I'm only 14". He played and got better and I respect him for keeping his modesty while still being such a strong player. On topic again, good luck Hope you improve greatly and have fun with your streaming! | ||

Trust me, getting master at 13 is really not hard. Maybe if it was GM it would be slightly impressive, but either way the age is irrelevant. I wasn't trying to bash in any case - just simply recommending that he not rely on age as a prop for popularity. | ||

Edit: Lets not forget about Illusion or Life (Quantic/Zenex respectively) and there are many others, those two are just more in the light right now than most. The only thing I can point out is that decision making skills and the full development of the prefrontal cortex happens only in late adolescence/early adulthood, so i'm actually always amazed when a young player beats all odds and gets ahead in a game like SC2. Quick response times, split decision making, it's all quite admirable when they're young. Hope you do well with your stream; just don't ever give up school for gaming until you're 18 and old enough to weigh out the pros & cons. I'm only saying that because a lot of young kids choose to dedicate such a large portion of their time in this industry, without considering what might happen in the future. That's my only advice for you. Good luck! <3 | ||

On topic again, good luck Hope you improve greatly and have fun with your streaming!Quoted for truth. Kyo no one is hating on the kid because of his skills or personality, people are just annoyed by the fact that he's attention whoring with his age. There have been many young masters players, many young grand masters players and many young tournament competitors. The main difference being you don't see them broadcasting their age, typically it's when they've shown results and their age happens to be noticed. Want an example? Leenock. People might have guessed he was young when he entered MLG providence 2011, but was it his sole selling point? Nope. In fact, he wasn't really known until he won said tournament and it just happened to be that he was 15 or 16. I also forgot Maru who was 14 and competing in code S. Sorry, but using your age as a viewer attraction is going to annoy some people, and if you left the age part out you would probably get more viewers, welcome to the internet. | ||

I had true dedication when I was that age, it definitely gets harder as you get older and have more responsibilities. This is true man, I spent countless years of my young life burning games, I rememeber one summer where I wasn't able to play real baseball, so I ended up playing 2 seasons worth of MLB2005( the one with Pujols on the cover)...including post-season that had to be like....400-500 games...and i still managed to play other games and do other stuff. Now I struggle to keep my BP low while my GF is out, and the dreams I had of taking over SC2 in beta when I was still in school, are steadily dissapearing with every minute. Damn I hate real life sometimes. | ||

Yeah but I didn't make a thread about it with my age in it. Why can't he just put "Master Terran Streamer'? You don't see any pro's putting their age in their title of their streaming thread. | ||

Well, that's because he's obviously gonna get more viewers if he's young and mentions his age, for instance look at najzmajs, he's like diamond and almost got 100 viewers consistently. WHY? Not because he's good but because he's 12. Personally I don't understand why people make such a big deal out of it. If you're young and play a lot it's not really that hard to get into masters. Just because ur 12-13 years old doesn't mean you're completely incompetent and stupid and can't learn and improve, truth is they actually have an easier time to learn and improve than someone who's like 37+. | ||

There are a lot of teams who recruit players that are very, very young if they have the talent so there is justification mentioning it. I wouldn't share your personal information however. If you get good and do well in tournaments. Don't worry. The teams will find you. Surprised this thread didn't get locked. Anyway GL. | ||

If the only thing that sets him apart from other mid-high master players who stream is his age, then why not make a big deal about it? It's the only way he'll get viewers so of course he will mention it. I mean, the streaming market is so over-saturated and competitive, you need to stand out any way you can. | ||

just think of the hilarity if someone beat down on a great entrepreneur with a comment like "when i was 16 i had a great idea, but i didnt tell anyone about it and didnt make any money.. why do you tell everyone about your idea and try to make money from it? i hate you" he doesnt have to be illusion. he doesnt have to be YOU when you were 13. he can be a kid with a stream, and what does he have that other master league-players doesnt have? his age! if he had one arm, he would put that down to get some viewers.. if he was a foreigner trying to make it in korea, maybe he would emphasis that point? dont blame him for not making the same mistakes you did.. | ||

Master league isn't anything special, not even close to "pro" level. Hockey is a very physically demanding sport, of course you can't play pro when you're not developed yet, physically. Any kid can learn to click quickly and you don't have to be a genius to play sc2. If he was a chess master at age 13, I'd be impressed. But this.. Anyway, it's still uncommon so I guess that's why people like it. Good luck. | ||

Strange world! exactly what im trying to say, I dont mind amature players saying oh im dedicated young gamer come watch! But when they bring age up its a different story. When you win gsl in a young age like how good maruPrime is doing then sure go for it. | ||

You ask why? Most of these stream posts of unknown players get like maybe one page. This one is up to six... If people want to market their stream some other way then let them, it's not always about skill. Obviously 1.1k master is still good but no need to tell people to stop being "gimmicky"... If it works it works, let them market it how they want. GL with the stream bro. | ||

WHAT? You're trying to compare a major league in hockey where professionals have to go through rigorous training every day build their body and endurance up to the point that they can handle the strain on top of the stupidly low chance of actually becoming a professional athlete under ANY circumstance. To hitting masters league in sc2? I'm sorry but I litterally laughed myself out of my chair in the office with that. It's been stated over and over again in this thread that when you're younger you have less to worry about, more time to practice and less shit you have to handle in order to live day to day life. Lets compare a 15 year old who makes it "pro" in hockey (quotes because you actually can't, you're not fit/stable enough at 15 to be signed by any major team.) A 15 year old who goes "pro" in hockey has spent years and years, probably since he was ~8 or so practicing hockey to become a prodigy, he then has put the effort into making his talent known among scouts and the right people in the right places (no it's not as simple as calling a number and saying "hey my son is a god at hockey, come look!") He would then have to prove to the world that he was a prodigy, in obvious ways and be faced with the pressure of his family friends and everyone who knew him to live up to the expectation put upon him that garnered the attention to give him a shot in the first place. Now lets compare that to a 13 year old in masters league on sc2: Kid doesn't have much homework (shit, summer vacation? Don't even get me started.) He sits on the computer, has all day to play and practice, watch replays vods and streams with little to no external effort, finding a replay is as simple as using google. Considering a good part of Starcraft is reflexes and muscle memory, the more he plays the more his body begins to adapt to a simple game, he is not at risk of suddenly snapping his wrists or fingers while typing *assuming he has no disease.* This means he is able to practice all day with no stress, he's 2 young to pay bills, he's probably not dating in a serious way and he certainly doesn't have to take care of anyone. His reflex and muscle memory improves, his knowledge of the game improves (again, no external effort needed) and he's able to get into masters. Compare the two. (Hint, the sc2 one takes a few months tops.) Oh, masters is also widely considered a joke, you don't have to be a prodigy to get into masters, you just have to devote time and want to improve enough to get there. For the record: I have nothing against this kid or his pursuit in streaming/garnering fans. I may think his method is very gimmicky and stupid considering it's not even a personality thing...But I have no issues against him and sincerely hope he's able to prove how amazing he is online and offline. But for the kid who tried to compare masters league in sc2 to being a 15 year old pro hockey player, really? Lol. | ||

Lol. cognitive thinking and dedication of a 13 year old is so much lower than post puberty, and as ive already said in the post after that, the point is that the younger you are, the more interesting your accomplishments are lol the only funny part is that you took my analogy into an ultra serious note, it was pretty clear it wasnt meant to be taken that way (only further supported by my preceding post) once again, theres a reason majority of players that are good or just rts games are post puberty, or at least nearing there EDIT: as others have said, 1.1k is pretty high masters, not just some lucky diamond kiddo | ||

Anyhow, to the OP, good job on taking the initiative to get a stream started, etc. Shows a lot of "want". I'd just echo a lot of the rest of the thread and tell you to be careful as a young person on the internet. By putting up a stream with a web cam, you're really putting yourself out there, and there's plenty of adults who can't handle the criticism/scrutiny that comes with public exposure. 1.1k+ is not just masters, it's quite high masters. I don't believe many kids of 13yo have the mental maturity to achieve it. | ||

When I was 13 I was managing a CS server and playing against Cal I caliber players... I'd spend 8-10 hours a day playing CS1.6 and SC1. 13 year olds aren;t as immature and stupid as everyone here is making them out to be. BUT, 13 is a great age for gaming as physically you are sharp and unworn, CTS hasn't started to plauge you, work/school isn't an issue, you don't have to think much about girls and balancing social life and gaming, etc. Don't rag on this kid though, him and others like him are the future of our community. | ||

My stream will start at 7pm, here's the link to the stream, see you there ! ****** http://www.twitch.tv/blusso ****** It's quite silly that you feel a strong need to prove to people that you are 13. Being young actually gives you an advantage at playing the game I don't find it impressive at all that you are 13 and mid-high master. Feels like you've gone into this hoping to get tonnes of attention based on your age. Just play the game and if people like you they will. Also as someone said in the post earlier you should be careful about who you are sharing facebook / email info with, especially if you are just 13 ; ) | ||

There have been many cases of people doing exceptionally well ( relative to their age / experience with something ) and then just hitting a plateau and being just as average as everyone else. Having said this it doesn't mean he doesn't have a lot of potential, just that you shouldn't assume so because of his achievements so far. | ||
