with the discourse around primmie and “the best mechanical players” it’s worth remembering that in this game having the best mechanics only provide you a very small edge over other tier 1 pros
and i’m not talking about utility or game sense, i mean definitionally even if you accept that XYZ player is the best aimer or whatever, if he takes a fair duel against someone like forsaken or sopp or whoever all that means is instead of a 50/50 it’s a 52/48 or a 54/46
the gap widens against worse players ofc, like against FNS the 50/50 legitimately probably becomes 65/35 or something (im just arbitrarily throwing out numbers)
federer, the greatest tennis player of all time, only won 53% of his actual points. despite this, he has won 80% of his matches. edging
