I'm curious because you're Australian but I've never heard of you at all and I don't think you have any understanding what it is you're about to do. | ||

eSports is overly glamorous like the X factor, its not all glitter and girls why not just continue to watch the games, sponsor your own player with your cash and spend your free time travelling the world and experiencing life rather than being locked in some kids basement grinding out the games for 12 hours a day only to have your heart crushed by a Korean at the open bracket of an MLG 6 months down the line.... Btw GM in Hots is not an achievement 2 of my noobie friends managed to get rank 1 on GM Hots. | ||

Its very easy to setup a team and promise the world to someone, we've heard stories of broken dreams before so please don't put yourself in a vulnerable situation. eSports is overly glamorous like the X factor, its not all glitter and girls why not just continue to watch the games, sponsor your own player with your cash and spend your free time travelling the world and experiencing life rather than being locked in some kids basement grinding out the games for 12 hours a day only to have your heart crushed by a Korean at the open bracket of an MLG 6 months down the line....

The SC2 scene is drooling for money as more and more tournaments and teams get should down. Playhem, tons fo korean teams etc. and this is exactly why he should not join MoW or pay a team to let him live with them. Being serious about progaming means being serious about pursuing one's dream without letting unimportant stuff get in your way. The most important feat is endurance and motivation. Someone in this thread was right who said "what do you need besides sitting in a dark basement for 12 hours and grinding games". A good ping and a comfortable chair but that's really all and with his money an own flat in Korea is more than possible and the best option actually. With the second part you are very wrong though. Who are you to choose what he has to like?. Judging from his motivation it sure as hell doesn't sound like he is after glitter and girls. | ||

Furthermore, why haven't you competed in any events like ACLPro or WCS Australia? And what CS team did you manage / compete with? I ran ~8 of the WCG events and I don't recognise the name. Did you use a different ID in CS? Why haven't you approached any Australian teams like iM, Fray, Nv, etc? I honestly don't mean any harm when I say this, but SEA on GM doesn't count for much. The GM ladder hasn't even filled up in over 10 months now. It's a ghost town. Got any replays or anything we can take a look at? Please answer this. | ||
