It doesn’t matter how high the skill ceiling is, just how much effort the average player puts into the game. In Starcraft 2 to be top 4% player essentially means to be the worst player in masters league. But the gap in skill between a bad masters player and a grandmaster player (or even larger, a pro player) is enormous. I know that when I played I was able to climb to near the top of diamond without even using map hot keys, and still being (compared to high masters players) really quite mediocre at macro. It doesn’t really matter how high the skill ceiling is when you can approach the 95th percentile while not even utilizing all the functionality the game gives you.
