then people wont play so competitively and addictively, only top notch sportsmen get sponsor, and what make them to be so good to get sponsor are prolong training and maybe some form of drugs, whether legal or illegal drugs. do u think this is all good to the sportsmen themselves which in the end they get some irrecoverable injury and low pay when they are retired consider they have put so much efforts in their career. well it is good to spread the benefit of sports around the world, which is good for health, better community interaction, hence knows a lot of friend and become closer with them, if play moderately i mean.

so now, whats worst if ure involve in esports addictively? u make friends around the world in battle net is not truly ur friends becuz u cant get along with them except for playing with them, u cant get good health, u stil cant get rich sponsor even if u play competitively and addictively compared to other sports, and people will not recognise u as a sportsman after all u have done becuz u blame the sponsors not giving enough supprot to this esportsman. well in the end, do u really think this form of sports need that huge of sponsor? well i agree minor form of sponsor in esports is sufficient, which evidently people are still joining the malaysia WCG2011 even though the prize pool hasnt been announced.

you do know lee chong wei is effing rich right? even if he quits now, he has millions in bank. his pay to play the league in guang zhou now is around rm30k per game. and he is playing whole season long there.

he owns more than half a dozen of luxurious cars including bmw x6, nissan gtr....

no youtube archives?

he is one risk taker, would u risk it when u start playing badminton professionally knowing a lot have failed? in decades, many malaysian professional badminton players have failed, only now one talented and dedicated player has born, have u ever thought those who failed what life they having now even they dedicated their life in it? they get nothing near like what dato lck has now, becuz they lack talent, assuming their efforts are the same as what lck has put in. But talent is a thing that no one can determine it clearly until u prove it yourself after your dedication has put in, hence, lck took the risk to do it and success.

now, would u risk playing starcraft2 just to be like flash? look at idra in sc1, he was in korea for years, this shows his dedication, but he lacks talent in sc1. most people would just tell u to get a real job to be rich like flash, i believe dedication in work can get u to the finishing line, forget about the fame

yeap, you are right, i wont do that. but there are ppl who does. how many parents in china are desperate to send their 6 years old child to gymnastic school and badminton schools. few hundred thousands of children all can play gymnastic or badminton btr than most of us. but only the very very very top can become as famous as lee ning or lin dan. those competitions are farrrrr more brutal than esport or badminton in malaysia. i dno why those parents are willing to take such a 'risk' but there are certainly alot of ppl doing that now. maybe because education is expensive there.

china is in a very different situation, mainly because of poverty in the rural area, sports maybe be preferred over education in this case, since u dont need to buy books and stuff i guess, well majority of sports dont require a specific expensive tools, not like ure going to play polo in china anyway right

china sportsmen spend a lot of time to train, as well as china students spend 12 hours in school from 6am to 6pm

people there 笑穷不笑娼, a lot of poor females in china become prostitutes in the end

i get what u mean. Yes, I agree with u, those who can get big money out of their passion in sports or e-sports is very low in terms of percentage. Yes, Beckham, Ronaldo, Chong Wei, Tiger Woods, Lewis Hamilton, etc, etc all are very rich. But majority of those sportsmen don't even get even 10% of what the superstars are earning.
To be in this field, is a risk. Either u end up like the superstars or u end up wasting ur time trying to reach it..

GOOD MA~ can earn money and at the same time enjoice~ not only that
they help foreveralone ppl satisfied their lust~ they do good deeds jangan kai wan siao a~

Training hard on Starcraft 2 is like opening up a business if you know how to put both of them together, there are always earn and loss in business, just like Starcraft 2, win and lose, try to stand at my side and think whether the statement is correct.

This is but u can try getting money form forveralone.jpg aunty

Living a life of a pro gamer is a lot harder than anyone can imagine. Trying to be a pro gamer through passion is not good enough. I scare you may not live to the day you hold your code A position

how to put them together as u mentioned is the difficult part, most of them dont know, but in real jobs, most of them do know how to put their shit together cuz a lot of people are doing it with success, what i want to say is involving in esports to earn money has a very low success rate, im not saying it is impossible to earn a lot of money in esports, but most of them didnt think to be a pro gamer until they know they have talent in the game, most of them started sc2 just to have fun as everyone is playing, with this said, it proves that training hard in starcraft is not like opening a business, most of the people would still open a business even though they have no passion in the field of business, but the money is there for them to earn, whereas in starcraft, u cannot earn from it if u dont have passion in it, just like badminton, pro players wont play badminton just for money if they have no passion in it, lee chong wei is the example of earning money with passion, but still, the money is one partly factor to motivate him


earning money with pure passion is not always gonna work as young people nowadays think, probably becuz young people have a lot of false passions. people with more experience; especially the elders, they know what carreer is gonna work and make sure the youngster wont regret the path they are about to take, the elders might be wrong sometimes but most of the time, they are correct
