I tried to go pro in wc3 when I was 16. Failed miserably, since I had school, g/f, fencing and parents. Basically, you have to give up everything in order to perform anywhere remotely close to a low-pro level. Practiced maybe 7 hours a day.

I only managed to beat the ladder up to level 40-ish, biggest tourney for me was wc3l, where i got to round 1/16 and was roflstomped by Crafty (at best 10-th strongest German player at the time). I played Deadman couple times too, but meh, he is superior by a vast margin. No wonder he went to WCG for Russia every time. Guess I have no talent for high-lvl RTS.

So I got a degree in financial analysis and currently working in corporate banking. It actually feels much easier both physically and mentally than beating ladder 7 hours straight

Wow playing deadman (APM70) is impressive. I remember when I played warcraft 3 he was one of my favourite players.

I try to put 2 hours minimum in a day for sc2. If you want to get really good, have consistent practice. But dont sacrifice your future for it.

I guess I could answer the topic as well. I play everything from 0 to 12 hours a day. Some weeks I don't play and some weeks I play a lot.
