A question of legitimacy?

How legitime are results and player skills in strategic thinking, player adaption, build order planing in a series and map understanding, when player of ASL and inside can decide or help the players with that work, or straight out just do it for them. Be it before in preperation, mid series going to them or being contacted by them between games or even post analyzing with them.
It seems a bit weird playing vs someone, that uses builds or strategies, that are not from him, in a way you are playing against only that person.
On the other hand it seem quite, questionable, when player can just straight up walk to the players after a games and feed them information. Or is more a thing of everyone can have it, so it is ok?
But wouldnt that allow players, in lets say the same group influence them in an almost cheating way?

Simpler Why does Mini need to beat Baracks and Flash +calm?

Or basicly: You are never playing only against the player itself.

Self made is a myth. The scene is so small that every1 knows each other and plays each other all day. Maybe there is even some paid coaching going on or a part of the potential prize.

And if a player is so hated that nobody wants to even play vs them, they would never make it to that level anyway.

I am a bit confused by your post, build orders aren't copyrighted so it doesn't matter who invented them and it's the right for anyone to use them. Pro houses don't exist anymore, it is a small community, everyone knows and plays with eachother, meaning they are opponents and practice partners at the same time. It seems that what bothers you is that Barrack came up and won with strategies that he did not make himself, and so you have a sense of injustice. But even Flash did not reach his level without applying knowledge he did not have to discover himself, it is the same for everyone. Mini probably trained with someone else that surely gave him advices too.
No coward soul is mine, No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere, I see Heaven's glories shine, And Faith shines equal arming me from Fear
