Renting a room with other like minded gamers, you can get away with a few hundred bucks a month. Food is cheap, utilities are cheap, paying for flights/hotels to events is fairly cheap. I mean you only need to make like $20000/yr to be able to afford to do it. Not even that really... | ||

However i can understand if you want to do this at least as an experience that you never want to regret. In the case of you just wanting to play the game to your potentials, then just go for it! Remember you should not be having fun playing this game. The game itself is very suffocating when you grind it out, it will make you happy and satisfied for sure if you reach your goals. I wish you all the luck, however I have heard a lot of bad things about mow, so maybe try contacting col, millenium etc Edit: the ALien invasion house seems like the best choice atm | ||

However, if living in a place where you can get by comfortably in English is more important, that may not be the best option. Maybe you could even consider travelling around a bit before you pick a final place to settle down. If only just for the sake of having a better Internet connection than Australia and getting the chance to enter some online qualifiers and having an "even playing field". Your best bet is probably to develop some contacts with pro's that you meet online or on the ladder and try to get some recognition and legitimacy that way, AND/OR start making a splash by beating some decent players in an online tourney or cup. Just some thoughts. What countries/regions would you prefer to live in, btw? I'm curious | ||

worst case scenario, you just had a long holiday doing things you love I would say either go korea or europe Korea - try your luck @ code a qualifier, try to talk to team managers to see if you can play with them for a few hours per week something, you got money to support you Europe - MoW - and lots of online /offline tourney to prove yourself Go all-in and good luck man ! | ||

After being in NA for like 2-4 month you should definately move over to KR as only in KR you have the real deal of playing starcraft 2 at the highes level. As far as i know the GSL Code A qualifiers are open for anyone willing to try. While being still at home or being in NA you should start to learn at least a few words of korean as well and maybe some NA people from a team or a house can help you arranging your trip to korea. Whatever you do, gl hf and if you are in germany let me know ;-) | ||

Are you trying to accomplish something? Maybe see yourself become a pro gamer in the right environment? (By "pro gamer, I mean actually making money playing SC2) Or are you just looking to follow the MLG circuit around as you travel the US having fun before you're over the hill? If it's the first one, I'd stay far away from the US. There really is nothing here that you couldn't get over there (aside from better internet). I'd also stay even further away from MoW. If I were you, I'd look into an extended stay in Korea. Maybe reach out to someone like Khaldor or Wolf to see if they could help you land on your feet. You have money, so it's not like you're some broke ass progamer looking to squat somewhere for free. | ||

What is PA btw? 200k pa? (what currency) Sounds like a lot for your young age ;O also curious if killing off your sperm was a direct requirement to your job, but i guess that might be too personal (can't think of any jobs that would need that ;O) Good luck though! | ||
