14 yr old GM?

Damn impressive

Enjoy it buddy. The minute you enter your sophomore year of high school it's going to be hell. PSATS/SATS/ACTS/College Applications/After School Activities/Community Service Hours/College Applications again/HELL

What? You only have to do most of those things if you want to do those things. Assuming you want to graduate, you put in your 7-3 and do your homework and have the rest of your time to train SC2 if that's really what you want to do.

I didn't have any extracurricular activities in High School, just kicked it with friends and played computer games. 14 and GM is pretty impressive, good luck!

Wait wait wait....... since when did age matter? I forgot when... GM. nice, age matteR? no. Putting the age in the name is just trying to bum for attention and just anoying.

Can't deny it works, though. A 14 year old is going to get a lot more attention than a 19-20 year old.

Why you gotta be like that Jakek95? Age, like gender, is a draw here. People will want to watch someone they know can have future success. Maruprime became popular first because he was so young. People saw that with his abilities and given his young age there was a lot of potential for him.

No one will force you to watch the stream, but when you advertise something, you use whatever draw you have.

Nah it's really not. Unless you are trying to go to a really really really good college you do not have to do what seeker said. I didn't.

All I did was ISATS and didn't worry about colleges until my senior year. I did no after school activities and no community service. Only reason you would do those is well either that's what you enjoy doing or you are trying to get to a good college. I am going to a college not omg top 10 in the us or anything but it does what I need and all my high school was gaming gaming gaming and hang out with friends

I checked out the stream for the commentary part and I was not disappointed.

CSL is great.

That's basically just a prize in the form of tuition donations. I'm talking about scholarships on the level of college sports.

Some high schools actually require community service in order to graduate... one I went to for a short while was something around 100 hours over the course your high school career. Was pissed I knocked out 40 hours before transferring to another school that required none.

I hear about you all the time and wonder "...how is this guy so good!?"

and now to learn that you're 14...and you play T!?

Pretty sure my brain exploded!

But yeah, good luck and I'm sure I'll be hearing about you some more. Hope to play you one of these days on ladder!

Of course it's an attention drawer, like everything. If he put GM T streaming, it would also be accurate, but he wouldn't have as many views as if he writes 14 year old GM T streaming. He's simply stating something unique about his stream and telling people why they should tune in to him instead of another GM T. It's marketing and he's doing it right.
