RE: Professional Gaming - Is it hard to achieve?

in #gaming8 years ago

I myself was playing a quite unknown game on a competitive lvl last year. If u ask me one key factor is your age and the time you joined the game. If uare getting older you will notice that in some games your reaction time is worse than is was 10 years ago. Moreover, if a game is well established. E.g. League of Legends or Dota. You are too late. Even with a huge talent you harldy can catch up to the guys that play that game for half a decade and more. I find it hard to go with your statement that it is based of luck. I believe it is more about starting in a young age, giving up your life, education, real life , grirl friend and all the other stuff.

I do agree with your points. What I meant by luck is the chance of being noticed by a player who has set roots in the professional league. Just as I mentioned in my example where the guy I knew got noticed by a pro CS:GO player and was invited as a stand-in. Even if you don't agree with my statement about luck, I think we can both agree that being noticed by someone who already has experience and influence in the pro scene can make a huge difference for a player who wants to make a career in that sphere.

By the way, thanks for reading :)

Oh yeah true. TbH I have no clue about CS:GO. My origin is in the MOBA scene :) Like your post. Hard to find posts here on steem that are not copy paste.

Thanks for the kind words! :)
