I mean, when was the last time you heard of a top #100 Golf/Swimming/Track/Tennis/Boxing/"Whatever 1on1 sport" player losing to a *talented and pretty devoted* amateur? In these sports people to even stand a chance need to train like a pro first and still they won't see even the slightest of a chance against the best until they are pro. Sometimes there are Talents that get high in the rankings faster, but there are no "part time" guys that beat professionals.

You are comparing apples to oranges.
I could teach my 10 year old cousin to 4 pool, and given enough practice, he could theoretically take a game off of a top foreigner given the element of surprise.
If you put a 10 year old kid vs Michael Jordan in a game of 21, I would bet my house that he wouldn't win 1 out of 100 games.
StarCraft =/= Physical Sports
