So I thought I'd ask what the SC2 community does from day to day.

I assume a lot of you will be students, but what does the average SC2 player study? And where does the average SC2 player work?

I am probably a little stereotypical, working for an ISP. I manage a couple of teams here at a company called Orcon, in New Zealand.

What about the rest of you???

Well i am currently a Order Picker Co-Ordinator and Data Analyst at HD Supply Brafasco.. we sell nuts/bolts and all that kind of stuff for building shit.. i do computer work for them.

I use to dabble in pro gaming back in the late days of Halo CE and early-mid days of Halo 2.. that was a lot of fun and that paved my way into the World Cyber Games. I've been in the National Finals for Starcraft Broodwars back in 2003/2004 because i did not know at the time Halo was one of the events. So i did not qualify out of my country and instead became a Ref for Halo. That was fun and got to meet a lot of cool people. In 2005 i made it to the national finals for Halo 2 (2v2) i was the person who actually came up with the rule set/map choice/weapons/spawns etc after the default was 1v1 on like the largest possible maps which was stupid... i told WCG i would do it, however i did not qualify and was a ref again.

So i stuck with being a Ref and through the years i became a Head Ref, which i am not one of the 3 people in charge of running the entire thing on the ground, i report to the Tournament Coordinator and that is it. I consider it a job because i've been doing it since 2004 as a job and have helped in many National and Grand Finals up until today.... and hopefully if things work out WCG Grand Finals later this year in China.


Sorry for the long read... didn't mean for it to go that far, i just enjoy my 2nd job a lot more lol :P
