Lest you think that youngsters are incapable of making good decisions, please observe Sweden’s Sophie Regner, who just dropped out of high school to play Counter-Strike full time. Well, maybe not full time. Regner, also known as “inzane” when playing Counter-Strike, admits that she spends a lot of time just hanging around with friends.
To her credit, she did quit school to join a professional gaming team called Pink Zinic and she does earn a little extra moolah by “modeling for a friend.” In ten years she’d like to have a family and live in a big house. Her ideal weekend would be to wake up around 1 or 2 in the afternoon, take a shower, play some Counter-Strike, then go out with friends.
If gaming doesn’t work out, I might suggest “professional blogger” as that’s pretty much the standard weekend for most of us — minus the whole “going out with friends” thing. You’re on your own for that one, Sophie. Oh, and the showering thing, too. Showers are for when you leave the house for more than two hours at a time.

When she says her family “supports her” I think that might have several different implications.
Meh, High School doesn’t count for much anyways, so long as you eventually go to College.
Thats pretty awesome though, I’d say she’s pretty lucky to get to live that kind of lifestyle. Its pretty much every teenagers dream.

i been getting pwned by a girl the whole time ??
noway dude .. i i i thought i was getting owned by some 31337 haxorz dude with kick azz scripts

How the hell is this news…
Getting desperate? You know how many kids drop out of school world wide, most plan on playing games. No news there.
sad…
But it’s a girl gamer! And to most male gamers, she’s hot as hell! Don’t forget that she’s a model, and she’s dropping out of school to play video games!
…Is the sarcasm showing yet?
ad1 this is a blog
ad2 dont like it? dont read it ;)
Yeah!! Another person on the web with nothing better to state than the obvious.
Thanks Captain!
Thanks for the useful info. It’s so interesting
Kind of “big boned” for a model. And she’s in Sweden, which has a strong social and economic support system. In other words, she’s not going to starve, lose health insurance, or not receive funding to eventually go to school.
Maybe she’ll design games, and get rich. And she isn’t hot.
Modeling? Uh… no. You may be “modeling for your friend” but that doesn’t mean you can make money doing it. These TV shows make girls think they can be models if they just do their hair and put on makeup and pout their lips but you have to have an amazing look. You also need to be 5′10″ if you’re going to get any gigs in fashion. Hundreds of girls “get into modeling” every day and only 1 or 2 will get real work. So I wouldn’t count on her making money modeling.
Oh how I wish I had life like her.
