Eh although i said some people are probably inherently good/bad i forgot to say anyone can get to masters. If it's the equivalent of D+ iccup like i keep hearing there's no reason to not be able to reach that level. Although it may be the top 2% there's so many inactive and bad players who don't learn and just play the same every time. Once they reset the ladder i suppose it will balance out a bit more.

As long as you got a reasonable minimum APM you play at, around 100 lets just say, i think masters is well within reach. It's enough to do what you need to do and you can reach it with minimal hotkey use and mostly clicking so i think anyone should be able to.

This is my first time reading this, so forgive me if somebody already stated this opinion.

There is no way to be inherently bad at SC2, there is definitely the potential to be worse than another player or a natural at the game much like sports or math or writing. Each human has specifics traits that they are inherently better that than other humans at a given task, or worse. Not inherently bad or good, just better or worse, it's all relative to your sample size.

There are ways to get better. In high school I was on the wrestling team and wasn't very good my first year. However with training, i was able to improve and actually become ranked fairly well in the state. I continued on into college and found that I did not progress further. Was I inherently bad compared to Olympians? or was I inherently good compared to everyone I beat. It's a matter of sampling a populace and POV.

So no, there is no way to be inherently bad at SC2. You can be worse than someone else, and you can train to become better, but there is always a peak based on your natural skill and your ability to learn.

of course there's people who will always be inherently better or worse at a particular activity due to conditions beyond their control (phsyical or mental traits, etc)
