Who wouldn't be? What I meant is that I rather have to something else I also enjoy doing then my hobby. Besides you just like any other professional athlete he wouldn't be able to do that for a very long time and what is he going to do after that? It's not like there is a market for Starcraft trainers. @Michael: Of course he is happy. Who wouldn’t be? What I meant is that I rather have to something else I also enjoy doing then my hobby.

His apparently not "decent" job nets him half a million in cash a year. And I'm sure he's quite happy doing it. “Sure you get a nice pay check, but I rather have decent job and play games in my spare time.”

I think it be a right pain in the arse to play games professionally, especially so since you are almost forced to play a single for several hours a day over month or even years. Sure you get a nice pay check, but I rather have decent job and play games in my spare time. Really?
