Don't all-in when it comes to your future; make sure you can safely transition.

I agree with Mayo though; talk to Mindfreak and see if they would continue to support you. The more information you know about consequences of option A and option B the better.

You already know that they aren't full "yet"; and from what I understand, the place priority for players living there is based on skill/performance. Basically, if you're a better player and are performing at a higher level than some of the players there; it's possible that they'll give a place to you over another, "lesser" player.

But yes, don't all-in; make sure you can resume studies at a later time if you'd like. But I think that the opportunity is too good to miss; so go for it

Do what you feel you think is right. it's your life, your choice no matter what happens don't let anything hold you back if you want to go.

Go. You're not going to get a lot of opportunities like this, it's important that you take them.

Go!!!!!!! ..... But make sure you still play dota 2 with us ..

This is interesting.

Well with the potential everyone sees in you, I think it won't hurt to try Progaming for a year or two and see how it goes? I mean studies are important, but then again, I live by "NO REGRETS" - you can always come back to studying in the future if you wish to do so, but e-Sports and gaming is not always the same.

Then again, I also agree with what Mayo said, one of the most important things is having MIndfreak have a little bit of space to talk about this since they will be the ones supporting you throughout EU. I don't know if I may be right, but sometimes I think going back to your home-country can build a bit of patriotism and pride!

Anyways, best of luck with your endeavors mate, if you stay in AU, that's great, if you go all the way to Poland, then go rape some!

Once in a life time, Uni can always wait imo, gl!

There is no chance MF will continue to support you and I highly doubt they will match what you're being offered.

I would take it by the horns mate, these opportunities don't come up much... You can always go back to studying

Carpe Diem. Seize the day.

thanks for all the feedback guys, the reason i made this thread was to get feedback and see if people could think of other reasons to stay or move than i did!

Whether or not mindfreak would continue supporting me is not a big issue, i have money saved up and i could probably get in a decent eu team, but id rather have them support me ofcourse !

at the moment im 90% sure im moving.

I guess it depends on how well you cope with stress.

I don't know how much money that you will make out of this venture. But in almost all cases you will make more money finishing your studies and joining the workforce.

I'd say at least do the responsible thing and at least finish your studies first. At least if things don't pan out in SC2 you always have that "finished degree" you can fall back on. Not play SC2 trying to make ends meet + added stress of performing that "can" ultimately leave you poor because you now need to go back to "studying."

If I were good enough to go Pro, being in the situation I am... I wouldn't think twice. I'd go for it because I have my qualifications and I know I'd get back into the industry with ease.

EDIT: I guess as long as you willing to make such a sacrifice, go for it! But I think it's too risky. What if something unexpected goes wrong? SC2 will always be there, teams will always be there. For arguments sake, lets say you decided to stay in Australia and study.... on the positive side of things, at least you have connections with these pro teams for future endeavors.
