My parents have their own shop, its open from 8.00a.m. - 8.30p.m. daily, that's 12+ hours of work a day. So, I don't think 10+ hours of training is overly rigorous, considering it is their job.

10 hours of training doesn't mean you play games for all 10 hours. There are plenty of things to do besides playing games like going over replays, discussing strategies with your teammates and etc.

As for the OP, athletes make the decision to practice or not practice by themselves. If overpracticing is hurting their careers, they wouldn't practice as much. You don't need the governing body to come in and impose an arbitrary limit on practicing, that's ridiculous.

The amount of time progamers play is necessary to maintain such a high level of skill. This is important for the fans and the competetive scene.

It's no different than people dedicating huge amounts of time to anything else.

And it's really not that unhealthy at all, particularly considering their teams have exercise programs for the players.

the difference is that your parents aren't straining their eyes for 10+ on a computer screen. Looking at a computer screen for extended periods of time has an exponential negative affect on one's eyes.

I would also like to limit the amount of times that strippers and pornstars can preform a month. It is clear to me that although it is a small amount of time compared to 10-12 hours a day, I notice that they seem to burn out fast, and esp strippers & get really gross looking genitials. I recommend 1 day stripping slash escorting for every 5 days.

This will decrease the amount of strain that there buddies go through, not just on the poll, but on the poll. Can we make this a law?

Many people, especially koreans, are on computer for over 10 hours a day. If they have no school, it really isn't that much in a sense. Sleep 8 hours, and you still have 6 hours for anything else. It's pretty much yes, but not ridiculous as you make it out to be. They find it fun and entertaining, it's not like they're working in a salt mine.

one of the most useless posts i've seen. congrats..

if they hated what they did they wouldn't be playing. i work 8 hrs a day doing graphic design on the computer. i come home and i'm usually doing more artwork on the computer, chatting with friends or playing games on the computer for at least another 2 hours of the day. it would take nothing to be on the computer 10 hrs a day....

it depends on your computer screen.

If you have a room with enough light, and a proper flat screen, your eyes shouldnt really be that strained, even if you do do it for 10+ hours.
I'd compare it to reading books for 10 hours or anything.

They do use those CRT monitors though, but i think they are the crt monitors with the flat panel and those arent really all THAT bad compared to the old shaky crt screens with the sort of curved panel

I bet you have an 8 hour a day job. 5 days a week.
well ppl like jaedong and bisu have a 10 hour a day job. 7 days a week.
I don't think your pay could equal half theirs...
more work = more pay
same goes for progaming
When has health been an issue for these progamers? The worst that I've heard is one passed out because of lack of sleep. That's something that goes away, and is entirely his fault.
but really, has anyone REALLY been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

This is pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever heard, but it seems like this has already been realized. It's not that I beleive SC e-sports would really be damaged by it at all- I think at a certian point you've learned and trained all that you can and it's more beneficial to get enough excercise and sleep- but it's so incredibly pointless and impossible to enforce. Your two primary arguements are just absurd "nanny-state" type rationalizations. 1. We should somehow restrict the exceptional performers so that the mediocre have a chance to catch up. 2. Obviously myself or the state or kespa knows what would be better for the players or make the players happier than the players themselves.

I don't think I should even have to elaborate on any sort of arguement against these as it's fairly obvious how ridiculous they are when boiled down to their fundemental ideology.

But in a practical sense, it wouldn't even matter if these measures were put in place because they would be impossible to enforce. The 5 or 6 progamers who actually abided by them would be the only ones at a disadvantage.

this isnt just a video game for progamers, its a job.

if your working full time in a financial job for a big organization you won't have free time either

the same concept applies for progamers

look football players are more widely known then starcraft players therefore ofcourse football players get pay more and their geting pay more than you also these are their jobs let them be and i believe not all progamers practice for 10 hours it can be more or less depending on their house they live in
