Take Tiger Woods for instance. He has stated that he never plays golf unless he is training or competing. For him, playing golf for fun is far too stressful and not what it is to the casual player: relaxing. The same probably goes for poker players and professional gamers. I don't know about you, but after competing in Xbox Live tournaments, or coming off a massive night of LAN gaming, I'm usually not in the mood to play games the next day. I'd rather do something entirely different. @bill

To me, Wendel doesn't seem to have it nearly as hard as the Korean pros do. I doubt that Wendel follows a serious regime, though. So, it might not be that bad if your not completing in Starcraft over in Korea. I wonder? Does a chess grandmaster or poker superstar have fun playing? or do you think it's a grind for them too?

I like how you look into different major gaming countries perspective on professional gaming and where it currently stands. Great piece, I loved it. Wow, this is a very insightful piece.
