gaming is NOT life

The reason why they want to be a pro gamer is so that they can have a luxury and comfortable life. Don't you think it is a bit silly, if you got the money yet you spend your whole day at practicing Sc2?

that's because they have passion on it, plus can make money out of the passion.
It's just the same with pro football players, pro golfers..

They all considered pro sportsmen..

In b4 computer game aint a sport.. LOL

That is what you believed. Not everyone do it for passion. You think they would practicing so hard if the prize money is Rm10 for 1st place? Doubtful.

Like I said, passion comes first, money comes later.. LOL

They will only recruit you when you have some results. Knowing that Sc2 isn't that wide and popular in Msia, how are you going to produce a results to attract their attentions? I know it is possible, but not easy as long you are in Msia.

exactly. For example, Blizzard is doing an invitational tornament for SEA. Of course you have to be one of the top grandmasters to get invited. If you can win that torney, ppl will notice u.
Blizzard is doing a good job with the laddering system so dat anyone in the world can compete and show their talent..

well, i wonder how the community will look at u when ure 30 and ure still pro gaming, ur gf's (if any) parents will think ure a pathetic freak, unless u win almost all of the tournaments u enter and u are rich, u cannot treat sc2 as ur life, its funny to see how incontrol talk shit about how dedicated he is in sc2 while combatex could beat him easily while he is just a casual university student..i would set a standard as if ure qualified as a code A player in gsl, u can call urself a pro gamer, i think idra didnt interact much with the top zerg players out there thats why he is still not improving, for ROOTdestiny, EGincontrol those kinda standard,they can  just experience the life of semi-pro gaming and have to get out of it if they are not putting anymore effort in it

When you turn 30 you can be a coach or continue play if your body allows...
given if you're very talented during your 20s, probably you will be hired as coach by the progaming team.

I can ensure you that if back in the days they are no sponsors/supporters for the sports teams like what current eSport is facing now, people will laugh at them even they are at 30s and still playing sports for their living.

Exactly. Just like the pro footballers or other sports.
When they reach 30+, surely they can't play that well anymore, hence they switch career to manager, coach, commentator, pundits and many more. Look at day[9]. Now he is one of the best sc2 commentator eventhough he can't play as good as the current pro players.
There are many ways u can diversify your career path if u hv the talent on a specific attribute.

Musicians who loves music with ugly face can be a producer / songwriter. Etc, etc..

u wouldnt want your children, assuming, all of your children go pro gaming for life now wouldnt u? even if they really like it

well u can say, 'oh its all good about esports' but on the other hand u dont want any of your children to go pro gaming for life becuz u know they are gonna regret it for not become a boss like any other business man who have a comfortable and successful life, well im not saying they have 100% become successful businessmen, but the probability is way higher than pro gaming itself

u think lee chong wei is really all good? whats he gonna do when he is retired? ok, he can coach, but thats all. yea he got a lot of fame, but i would rather be rich than having fame, well at least money can get me what i really like in the future, ie, travel around the world

i know the way i reason things is very selfish cuz u all can say lee chong wei does it for his country and not for himself, well, IMO, lee chong wei does this purely becuz he has passion and likes badminton, and not anything more than that, for country is phony reason just to attract more attention which faggots needed the most

i dare to make a hypothesis, assuming lee chong wei lost his malaysian citizenship by some reason, i believe singapore or any other country would give him a citizenship on the condition that he will represent that country for playing badminton and he will accept that offer

i agree with u. BS if sum1 doing it for country or state or anything else EXCEPT for his passion.

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

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..
