Imma drop my 2 cents. Pros had the perfect environment for their abilities to grow than an "average player". These could be their time schedules, their regions, their internet providers, their access to good gaming machines, their families etc. If you filter gamers by all that criteria, then only a few people will be left. It's not a mystery. They had the perfect environment to thrive in the field since they were little. It'd be a mystery if a random homeless boy or a little monk with no prior tech knowledge picks up a game and became pro in mere months.

Great vid and like you said it’s very relevant to anything competitive or where success is possible. It doesn’t matter how talented you are, put the effort in and you will get better. You will end up better than the vast majority of players who aren’t trying to get better. Also loved the deadlift reference :D

There’s one thing you didn’t mention and in my opinion is very important. You can be talented, having good mechanics, being smart and everything. But when you don’t have the best pc in the world and you have huge fps drops during comps which mean you can’t play, yes you can’t be a pro. I am pretty sure that there are a lot of people in that situation that would be way better that some pros but can’t use their potential.

Talent and genetics are different things, you may have the talent to go pro in basketball but you don't have the height (genetics) to do so.

Great content thank you! I knew you were going to drop something great! I am not talented at all, but I have managed to brute force my way to several accolades unrelated to gaming. If you grind you can do anything. You might not be the best but you will be successful!

I totally agree with the end. I am absolutely terrible at every game I start but I always over commit to every game I play aswell and that is exactly what I did and after countless hours I got my first earnings and just kept going from there. Thank you for the video Reisshub.

Genetics definitely play a part but it’s mostly about what you do with your time within fortnite and across your whole life as a lot of skills carry over. The only time you can use genetics as an excuse is if you have a disability or syndrome.

amazing video reisshub u put so much time and effort into your videos and it really shows👍

So been feeling like this for quite sometime since taking gaming a bit seriously I started a moba and probably my first 30 serious matches I was learning and adjusted with ease and guiding just started Fortnite 3 maybe 4 weeks ago and I’m noticing a huge difference in my lobby’s weekly the harder they get the more I’m adapting faster or better then vets with 3 years of experience

I think a good example is Kobe Bryant. He said when he was younger, he was very average at basketball. After his dad talked to him about this, it motivated him to start practicing daily. Clearly, based on his statement, we can see that he was not naturally gifted…Yet he’s one of the greatest to ever touch the ball. So if you think that’s you can by succeed because of natural selection or whatever, don’t be discouraged. I’ll try to link the interview if I can find it.

Im pretty good at Rocket League, the concept of practicing in that game switched over to fortnite for me when I started grinding it and it worked. I mostly believe if you have been good at one game, you have experience on getting good so you have an idea of at least what to do also.

I think that a lot of teenagers nowdays at some point in their lives think about going pro in a game. I had that dream as well, but I had to realize that I don't "actually" want to be a professional. Im my case I didn't have that much natural talent, however in some games I got better than my friends really quickly, sometimes I was left in their shadows. I feel like improving to be better than your friends can be really fun and a nice challenge, but for me going pro is not really an option because I get bored of games too easily and play other games instead, or not really play anything at all.

I played Hockey for 16 years, taught myself how to juggle, and have really good hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity. I’m 33 and I play games and after that 100 game mark im usually at my peak and am ever so slightly above average on most games I touch, whether it be on KBM or Controller although my fingers are short so I can’t reach some keys so im limited and currently use a a 65% but going down to 60% keyboard soon. My cousin Covent was a COD and Halo semi-pro and actually still plays and has around 50K followers on Twitch and came from Mixer only 2 years ago, his channel was a top 10 channel on Mixer so he can still hang and he’s a few years older than me. I think if I started playing games younger instead of going for sports I would most likely be an above average gamer.

Yea I completely agree. I always felt like I was naturally good at games until Siege cameout. I was horrible, everything I learned about my playing had to be thrown out the window. I started in Y1S3 and played Ranked the next season to get better. I ended that Season like Bronze 3. I grinded and watched pros play to get a better sense of what needed to be done. Then when Year 2 came around with the release of Velvet Shell. I put all my countless hours of just grinding too use and ended that Season as a Plat 4. I was proud, I accomplished what I setout to do and just played for fun after that season ended. It takes a lot but I believe anyone can do it. Just be prepared to work your ass off.

This pushed me to get better and improve, now those same friends dont want to ever play with me because my games are "too sweaty". I never hold it against them though cause i did suck and if I didnt want to improve back then i wouldn't be where i am now.

One of the best if not the best video I've ever watched

This is a really well researched and interesting video.

I can vouch for this. I started playing fps games like cod and was horrible. Grinded for a year and got good and went to mlg tournies. Never went pro because pros talent and time was better than my talent and time. Someone who is naturally gifted will always shine with time put in. Below average to decent players can become very good with some time but likely they dont have the talent to ever get to top tier.

Everyone always forgets two other main factors: stable internet connection and decent gear. I have packet loss issues and my wifi isn't stable because where I live there isn't a better connection. That alone makes it almost impossible to go pro in fortnite in particular because it's a game of building/editing/shooting so if you build and packet loss says no or if you shoot someone and packet loss says no you will be in a huge disadvantage.

Suuuuuper interesting video, great work!

I've seen a lot of people who are bad at games and they're often influenced by that mindset-wise, when someone is bad at a game they often lack the perseverance to continue putting effort in as a result of being outmatched by other players. Games won't wait for you to get good, so the environment naturally lends itself to the talented- but that doesn't mean that the hard working can't compete and often times those who utilize their talent will do so because of hard work. That's my mindset.

holy f*** dude one of your best videos

I definitely think genetics or environmental factors in early life play some part, especially for certain categories of intelligence. You can be intelligent but lacking when it comes to fast, in the moment decision making. You're probably not going to make it very far in eSports if you're the kind of person who needs a little time to think things through. How much of that is genetics vs other factors, like whether you played fast-paced competitive sports from a very young age, I'm not qualified to say. Or you can be intelligent, but have a terrible working memory. Good luck remembering what time was on the clock when a power up last spawned, while also planning what you're going to do next.

I’ve always been good at every game I’ve touched, but I’ve never put in the time because I’ve always been busy at school. However every time when it’s summer and grinder I’ve seen myself placing in actually tournaments and in some moments getting some money

You can definitely get really good at almost anything with zero talent. But to reach the top of the top, people without talent start to get filtered out and no amount of practice will allow you to bypass that filter. Like I managed to reach top 961 in NA valorant and I don't consider myself to be naturally talent at the game at all, but trust me when I say there's no way in hell I could ever reach radiant

that was one hell of a motivation vid

Very, very good video

Like in every sport there are champions that are born that way or made that way

practice vs "perfect practice" or the right kind of practice makes a big difference as well

i think this is true, i used to play cod in xbox, th rank in mlg but nothing crazy, start playing valorant in beta as first pc fps, it took like 2 months to go from silver to radiant top 100, i think people blaming team mates and not getting a 30 bomb is what stop their learning process

I know like 2 people that tried super hard to be good. Thousands for hours in the game, hundred of hours of aim training, watched every youtube video, paid for coaching by top 1% players, splurged for the best setup. I even invested a considerable amount of time helping them on game sense, strats, mechanics, and they're both still gold/plat. lol. It sucks, but it's the truth. Talent is a huge part of making it to be a 1% player. Even then, it's not enough to be pro, pros are like 0.01% of the playerbase.

This was a masterpiece.
