> Most people probably don't have the talent to play in a professional league regardless of their practice regimen, but when you can get to 95%-ile by fixing mistakes like "not realizing that you should stand on the objective", you don't really need a lot of talent to get to 95%-ile. In the only 2 competitive games I played enough to talk about this - sc2 and dota2 - the mistakes people make at my level (which at my peak was ~2000 mmr in dota and low plat in starcraft - probably top 60-40% of the active players in both) - were nothing like "not understanding game objectives". In starcraft it's easy to say what went wrong because there's much less variables. Usually it's going for a wrong build order blindly, not reacting to enemy unit composition in time, or just being too slow mechanically (usually in the economy part of the game, fights you can just attack-move into the enemy army, but you have to build buildings and units FAST or you don't have enough units to fight). I've been watching sc2 games on top level, I've even played vs people in top 90% in 8v8 free for all games, and there's just no way for me to win against them. I've played one 8v8 game where I was the only one in plat and the rest was in master/grand master. They left me alone for 20 minutes and fought it between themselves. I've build maxed 3/3/3 skytoss fleet with mothership and carriers, full wall of photon cannons and a lot of gates for instant remax. 20 minutes of reasonably fast base-building. After I started to fight I lost in like 5 minutes vs mass marines + medivacs :/ Guy just harassed me to death from 10 different angles while escaping my deathball of carriers. I had 10 times his resources but not the skill to defend from so many points at once. And he wasn't even grand master. Sc2 will show you exactly how much you suck. In dota there's much more chaos, sometimes it's lost in the picking phase, other times someone just feeds for 10 minutes, sometimes people don't understand who is more late-game and farm for 40 minutes vs later-game carry or constantly fight vs earlier-game lineup instead of farming. Other than these I usually don't know why we lose. It's never "I don't understand the game objective". I could probably get much higher if I wasn't spamming winter wyvern as pos4/5 every game. But it's the only hero I enjoy, so whatever.
