- TeMPOraL 3y agoIf it's anything like the news reports I read years ago about various mobile games, I imagine the people you're talking about are low-paid employees of a grinding company, playing on heavily streamlined and partially automated stations provided by the employer. There likely isn't even 1:1 relationship between a person and a handle.
- Ntrails 3y agoI do not know, but Magic is not like poker where EV and optimal play is easy. You only make money if you are winning, and in a pool of decent players winning consistently is hard. It is not a classic grinding opportunity
- FanaHOVA 3y agoIt's just not possible to be successful in Magic doing that because the meta would quickly adapt to exploit whatever decks they had built automations for and make them losing players. Also, most trophy leaders in mtgo are well known people who all hang out in the same Discords, so we know exactly who they are.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoWhy not? Even ignoring any kind of streamlining automation, someone who plays MTG 8+ hours a day 5+ times a week is bound to eventually become a successful and adaptable player. They may not end up at the very top, but close to it, and more than enough to make positive profits for their employer, in countries with low labor costs and standards of living.
