For a gamer, this kind of lifestyle is like living in a dream. Damn it, I'm so jealous now.

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 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.

Yeah....If only Msia Sc2 is as big as NA or Korea. Then I won't hesitate to quit my job and go pro-gaming.

I don't get what you trying to say here...at all.

Just because they are pro-gamer, this doesn't mean that they should training for 12 hours per day like a Korean. In fact, even in a real job, average people only working about 6~8 hours per day, minus the break time and lunch. From what I heard, EG team does spend at least 6~8 hours per day on SC2, and you still think that they NEED to play more? Wow...

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.

Doesn't even matter whether they can beat Korean or not. It is about the luxury life that they are enjoying as a pro-gamer. Also, I doubt the results does matter for EG. EG Idra has been losing a lot recently in the tournament, yet there is no sign of EG trying to sacks Idra away for being incompetent player.

Also, EG pays salary to their players monthly. Where do the EG money/revenue comes from if not by winning the prize money? Well, it is from the merchandise, advertising and streaming. It is obviously a good thing if the players can win the tournament, but what I know, the player who won the tournament keeps the money for himself, not the team.
