EPTIn an elite music school in Germany, researchers found that the discrepancy in skill even among the elite violin players were attributed to deliberate practice. They found that the very best engaged in it about 5,000 hours more than the less elite violin players. They all spent approximately 50 hours a week on violin related activities but the non-elite players engaged in less deliberate practice and more in violin related activites; playing with others, reading about it, listening to music, discussing it etc. Whereas the elite violin players spent the majority of their 50 hours a week deliberately practicing. It's the same with starcraft. Some of us can say we've been playing it for 10 years, maybe five hours weekly, but have remained around D-level. There are some players who also spent around 10 years, five hours weekly, but who are B-level.

Of course some people are more naturally talented than others in certain fields, including Starcraft. Whilst a lot of practice will overcome this difference, i'm positive if i sat down and play as much Starcraft in my life as flash has, against the same people, in the same scenario, he would 100% destroy me. There are a ton of kids out there playing the game as much as flash/bisu/jaedong/stork, some probably even more so, who are still B-teamers who cant rise in the ranks because they're simply not as talented and dont have the 'gift' to play at the level these top players do. Actually, I dispute the existence of natural talent, whoever trains the most and wants something enough will get it. Sure you need to be skilled but you learn this yourself, you aren't born with an innate advantage in computer games | ||
