Hey guys and gals. over the last couple of years ive spent most of my time working and playing SC2 every day and managed to get GM on oceania, Masters on NA and korean server. I have been saving every bit of cash I could with the idea of moving from Australia to either america or korea to play starcraft 2 full time with people who have the same appreciation for the game I do.
I figure with the amount of cash Ive saved(alot) ill be able to live comfortably without a job for a fair few years. The problem comes from not having the chance to talk with anybody important to make it happen. Im preety much willing to pay a team house to let me live with them and play everyday until im worthy of actually being part of a team.
I know this is a really wierd post cause I read TL everyday and have never seen a post asking this sought of thing. But if anyone has any ideas of how I can make this happen or giving me something to work towards it would be great.
Cheers in advance!
Edit: I had multiple PM's of people asking me to put the information I replied in the thread so I did.
Im 28. Im not putting anything on the line by doing this. I already own 2 properties out-right in australia so all the extra cash ive had is straight in my bank. Ive worked since I was 12 and am looking to do something I enjoy in life while Im still young.
800 us a month is nothing was expecting it to be much more. Thanks for more advice looking into the ministry of win now.
I have entered a heap of online australian and american tournaments. I stoped the aussie ones cause there is only a couple of good players so I stuck with all the american ones. Not here trying to show me e-peen off just trying to see what sort of options are out there.
Thanks for all the replys im gonna keep reading up on the suggestions.
I have managed to reach GM on hots which I didnt mention and am playing it at a 50/50 rate to wol. Im not really caring where the market ends up for sc2. Im not in it for the money. I just love smashing terran and zerg under the might of the zealot
Thanks for the constant advice. looking into all the different teams mentioned
Started working as a linesman after all my smaller jobs in school. Ended up qualified to work up to 330000v alive and started investing at the age of 18 in stocks and housing. Ive killed all my sperm off so it came with a price
"dont do it" ? I dont want to work anymore should I just sit around and do nothing... or should I travel to all the countrys ive already been to and experienced.. Gotta do what you enjoy
To those juding if I have enough to survive. I didnt go into details because its not anyones bussiness. But here you go if it means I can get more information. I own a property in parramatta which was recently valued at 640000. I own a property in st clair which was also valued at 490000. I have had a salary over 200k pa for a fair few years. Ive saved plenty. Thankfully there is only about 10000 people around the world qualified to do my job. I can get a work visa in any country in the world and a job at at anytime I like around the world. If it does not work out going back to my job will take about 15-20minutes to organise.
Please just post any advice SC2 related you can Last edit: 2012-12-20 16:28:32 |

Why don't you try to contact one of the teams with academies, col for example. Being a progamer isn't easy, I wish you good luck  ! |

Quite an ambition. I imagine for a team to take a chance on you, you need to be marketable or talented enough. So you need to make a little splash in some tournament, or, start streaming regularly and get enough consistent viewers to the point where someone of importance will notice this attention, as viewers equals ad moniez
Also, please don't do this. |

| Ministry of WiN in Poland. As far as I know they've cleaned up all their issues. It's a team house none the less and something you should look into. It was 800$ US a month to stay at the house, but that covers everything. You pretty much pay 800$ to live completely. |

A friend of mine moved to Poland to join the Ministry of Win. You could look in to that.

| Honestly, I think that the day of "picking up money and going to join a team/academy" is still a few years of stability off, but if you're really committed, like others said, go for col academy or the like. Or ministry of win would probably work. Good luck! |

You should research MoW really, really well. There were a few threads with complaints, which sounded very serious. I don't know if things are ok now, but the fact that there were problems once should not be overlooked.

| Yeah they'll be your best bet. Living in a pro house without being on the team would be much more. |

America does not have alot of team houses. EG is only that i can think of.
In europe i think there is the millenium house and MoW.
Korea ofcourse has tons of houses, but people there dont speak so good english. Anyway korean houses seem to be so low on money that they would probably welcome a paying stayer the easiest.
Do you have a resume or something like notable wins in online tournaments? If its justGM league in australia server and master league in NA for few years of work, then its pretty lol. |

| I think the Prime house is cheaper? but living in MoW would probably be better once HotS hits since you can't really talk to koreans for new stuff. |

Maybe enter some Australian comps and see how you go first.
Hope you can get something, always good to see aussies competing overseas |

800$ a month is not much, but MoW is not a team. So if it will be filled with same people like you... I doubt you will get any useful experience from that.
Maybe if MoW will get a new round of pros in the house and they will be nice enough to coach you a bit, then it could be worth it. But still in my opinion MoW sounds like a waste of time and money. |

He is not pretending to be super gosu, he just wants to be in an environment where he can learn and improve. No need for "lol". |
