EPTthe step from bronze to low-mid gm is smaller then the step from low-mid gm to top 10 foreigner. to win 5 games out of 25 consistantly, you have to be a stable high gm player.

The skill gap between me playing at 4000MMR vs an opponent at 4800MMR is already huge... Why would you say bronze to low GM is a small skill gap? | ||

Obviously, it's difficult for me to compare with the "GM to pros" gap, but the idea of Bronze - GM gap being somehow "small" is absurd. I am low Diamond and I am pretty sure a "genuinely" Bronze player (that is someone who has not tanked their MMR on purpose, not is Bronze just after placement and ready to climb quickly) would never take a game off me. I even think I can win almost 100% games against a common Gold player, if I am told in advance I am playing a Gold player, allowing me to play super safe and thus avoid any cheeses - against a fellow diamond, such play would leave me too vulnerable to macro builds, but that doesn't matter against a Gold player. Between 130 GM and Bronze, you can probably fit 4-8 levels of "A will always beat B will always beat C ...", so the gap is really immense. They are talking about skill gap, not who can beat who in head to head gap. The learning curve (in term of time spent playing) of starcraft 2 is logarithmic I would say, so you don't need much time to go from bronze to top master / low GM, but it takes A LOT of time and dedication to go from low GM to being a threat for other pros in competitions. | ||
