I literally saw a post a few days ago where the OP was bronze at 19 and said they were trying to go pro and compete on a major org. As a master baiter myself It was clear he wasn’t rage baiting by how he wrote in all his replies.
Today I saw another post with a 18 yr old who is plat who played for 5 years with 700 total hours asking if he can go pro.
These guys are nuts I’m telling you. Human intelligence is plummeting
why does it matter where you start as long as you are willing to work hard it could happen
and even if it doesn't it's their life and their goals bro let them be at least they're trying at something in life

what exactly makes up talent for an esport? much easier to tell in physical sports. and how can you even know if you have talent if you're bronze and just beginning to "try"? you have no idea. even people with great physical genetics have very little idea of where they stand for sports performance until they start training (unless growing up in physically demanding environment like on a farm)
that plat kid with 700 hours how many of those were spent actually trying to learn skills and apply them vs autopiloting? not a clue. nobody knows except maybe him so it just seems crazy toxic to be taking a dump on other peoples' dreams when we know nothing about them

im sorry bro but that's just hard untrue if those 700 hours were spent poorly
someone super talented for bench press might spend 5 years benching with terrible form and awful programming + commitment they will never reach a high level of strength let alone world class even if they have a great "talent" for it
people use talent as a cope far too often particularly in an esports setting like almost all these skills that pros have are learnable. not 100% of them but a very significant portion

Spending 700 hours doing something with the intention to improve and knowing how to improve properly is a skill/talent itself that most non-pro players lack

yes it's a skill not a talent. you arent born genetically with an "intention to improve" my guy that's a mindset you develop intentionally
