    People have this idea that pros quit playing professionally in their early 20's because they age out of their peak ability, but it seems like most pros I've seen talk about it say its actually just burn out. Imagine playing a single game 10+ hours a day, with the same people on your team and the same couple of teams of enemies. All day, every day, for years and years and years. That's the perfect mixture for burnout right there, and if you could change and be a variety streamer, making more money and having fun while doing it, its a no brainer imo.

      Not pro, but I played Mordhau on a competitive tournament level and can confirm that it's such a burn. I still play the game every day but the requirement to play and pressure to stay ahead of the curve was draining to say the least. Cant imagine playing at pro level in a game like CS.

    • @Dizzeke
      @Dizzeke 4 роки тому +34

      true. as someone who almost went pro in rocket league, i burned out because of mental illness rather than peaking. in fact i was on the come up and my depression and anxiety and OCD got the better of me and I haven't opened the game in half a year.

      @@stints2749 Its a lot easier to quit a pro esport than it is to quit pro sports. Way more pressure and way more publicity on those guys. Also they're under contracts worth millions. Could tie into why a lot of domestic abuse cases pop up surrounded professional sports players.

      That's how not interesting that game is; nobody is playing that shit i know it's on closed beta or something but come on i've played some closed beta games it atleast have a decent amount of players in that beta, i think that streamers hyped it so much thats the game lost it's charm that's the problem with the new releases they always want to have the success of another game and starts dumping all of their resources on advertising the game instead of developing it let's be honest this game is no way near counter strike and probably never will be.

    You are right about the consistency. I started to think about it and a super consistent MVP was Michael Jordon in basketball. Where as when I start to think about the NFL it is hard to be consistent with field goal kicks. It all comes down to lots of variables and if they are in your favor then things work out.

    I think being rich doesn't directly make a person smart, and there's not a distinct correlation between brilliance and financial wealth, but there's more freedom and less stress when you're financially stable and for some that is enough to simulate mental health that creates an environment/opportunity of gaining knowledge.
    In other words it's easier to read up on philosophy, learn about math and science, and dive deeper into what interests you the most when your mind isn't focused on how you gonna pay your rent and car payment and still have enough to eat until next paycheck. When you're living paycheck to paycheck and one mishap like a vehicle needing maintenance work would take you months to a few years to recover from... the whole time you have to think about how you gonna make it to work on time, plan chores around another person's schedule who is willing to help you (driving you around as you try to be as little if an inconvenience as possible).
    Stress is the biggest inhibitor of knowledge and simply thinking clearly.

    Genetics does definitely play some role; reaction times, hand-eye co-ordination and mindset are all affected by genetics to differing degrees. That said, without training, you'll get nowhere. Same as any sport. And you can obviously train reaction times, hand-eye co-ordination and so on but the best of the best will often be that much further ahead due to their genetic advantage compared to say others that put in the same time, same training but are just a little worse. Mindset though is the biggest one which CAN be genetics but is often just as much developed through nurture. If you don't have the mindset to take failure as a process and you let it get to you too often or you don't have that natural aggressiveness I guess, to really go for what you want, that drive to succeed, then you won't make it. That's the biggest factor for pretty much anything in life. Some people though are born with differing wiring that doesn't naturally tend to them being that way and others are brought up in a way that they don't have that drive or focus. Changing it, even if possible, is incredibly difficult once you've become a full grown adult. Usually there's a core of ourselves that just doesn't change no matter what and if you don't have that urge to be the best naturally inside you, I don't believe you can 100% change that. That said, there is still a LOT you can do and you can still become an incredible player or sportsmen, musician, whatever it is. You just might not become the VERY best.

    Shroud what you said about professional sports in comparison to esports as far as talent pool is correct. In most sports there are maybe 2-3 people at the top or on your team that are just so good that not even other pros can touch them (example: Roger Federer at Wimbledon, his win streak is insane). It goes down in tiers like you said idk if anyone here plays fantasy football but that's a good example of skill tiers as well.

    I dont think its all training. I actually think it comes down to physical and mental coordination or being in sync with your reaction timing and then you start to develop on those skills afterwards by training, experimenting, using better equipment, etc. A good eg. 2 kids try out for a soccer team, neither of them have ever played before but 1 outshines the other due to natural ability they can both practice with the best coaches and put it all the time in the world but as long as the one who stood out keeps training, the other one will never get to his level.

    People don't realize that when you go pro it's no longer just a game, it's a job and a lifestyle. The amount of sheer will and dedication you need for that is immense, people who don't take that seriously will burnout quicker than a flame on water. People are in love with the idea of a pro, not what it means to actually be one. Playing the same game for 8+ hours a day with the same people is torture for people who wants to be a pro to "play" the game they love, or to have "fun". That is the hard truth when things like pro gaming becomes mainstream. If you're a NFL player, you just don't practice football, you practice workouts, lifting, diets, etc. In Esports you practice teamwork, mechanics, and macros. And for the average person who is good at a game but doesn't have the mentality that fits a pro lifestyle, it's hard even if you like the game. The thing you have to ask for yourself for almost anything career related is, Do you only like the idea of doing it? Or do you actually love and want to do it? That is not an easy task to do, part of life.
