Oh man, that looks great. Having never been to a LAN party or tournament it'll be very informative, too.

Lol, apparently the reaction to the split-second she was on led Dendi to clarify that she's married on twitter, haha: http://twitter.com/DendiBoss/status/236479953938550784

Just out of curiosity... anyone knows how long is the career of a pro gamer ? While the game is relevant and popular ? Say couple of years ? Or can and do the pro gamers switch games somewhere in the career and can stay relevant until the reaction times start getting slower so say .. a decade ?

Well Starcraft (1) is probably the best indicator of career longevity, since it's been popular for over a decade and pro players have come and gone. Here's a series of graphs that might answer your question, but of course what applies to StarCraft may not be true for other games: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Bonjwa

Edit: of the three pro players who "stopped" playing StarCraft on the pro league according to the graph, one of them switched to StarCraft 2, one injured his wrist and became a coach since he couldn't keep up after that, and another was caught doing illegal match fixes (banned).
