I do not know about you, but I was watching a few videos because somebody linked me to them. I thought I'd show two of the best players in Starcraft History to date.

It's amazing. I couldn't do that, no matter how hard I tried.

Let's not forget these guys make 6 figure incomes for playing this game..yearly. Although, I believe both of the have stopped playing now.

Boxer still holds the record for most wins, and most time holding #1.

Bunch of noobs you say? These guys make 600K a year or so for being top playing Starcraft, how much do you make?

I'm sure you'd feel differently if it were you making 600k a year for playing a game.
Yeah yeah you can easily say you wouldn't, but you would.

It's a dream job in my opinion. It takes a lot of brains, and a lot of skill in order to do.

Not many can say they've accomplished something like this.

Not to mention the fact, do what you love.

Thing is they have no social life because of training 24/7,but yea the money makes it worth it!

This can be true, but also untrue. Some people in the world are natural geniuses and the level of speed they use in that game, the ability to micromanage so well..it's incredible.

Just watch some of those videos, I guarantee you to try and do that and see how bad you are compared to them.

Truth is SC is weird. I've played games competitively (RA2,RA:YR) and tbh i find strats on them much harder but not so much microing...

I don't find strategies on that game as hard as Starcraft. Simply because the fact is..spamming the most units, wins in that game.

Starcraft - doesn't matter how many units you have, you can still lose to a mere marine and medic.

Just look at this by the dude in the first link above.

Now you cannot see it, but those Goliaths took little to no damage.

I can win over you in RA with 1 engineer...

They have two channels over there that are dedicated 24 hours a day to showing matches.

Also, this was awesome:

Boxer's Immortal Marines.

I just play 1.6 so...

I have SC installed, haven't played it in a while.

Besides Tetris, I doubt you could beat Boxer in his prime. He'd spank you like a new born baby mate.
