Wonder when Koreans would dominate if they entered the world of competitive FPS in as big a scale as SC:BW and SC2 given their practice methods. + Show Spoiler + Notice the use of when rather than how  | ||

I know one of the gross differences is team games require teamwork and in SC2 the builds and meta game affects the outcome alot. just a small question for people who have tried dominating at both a FPS and a RTS. | ||

The most important thing probably is the mindset, if you played any game 8hours a day competitively it defintately makes it easier picking up another one and stuff like mouse accuracy and stuff will definately help both ways around... But apart from that I don't think you can make a real call on stuff like this... I think MoMaN is the only FPS player I know of who managed to be somewhat successful in SC2 | ||

The Halo players practice all day in custom games, but getting 4 players together for team practice is difficult considering they're usually college kids living in disparate parts of the country. In any case, anyone that can compete at that level deserves respect, regardless of the title. | ||

You can't argue with Instinct's results. The question is will their dominance spark other teams to up the ante and start practicing more? Really it just speaks to the poorness of competition than it does Instinct's lack of dedication. If everyone practiced 3-4 hours a day then those at the top would have to practice more, feeding a cycle and maybe we'd see the numbers we see in SC2 and such. But really I don't think the money is there. Outside of MLG I don't think Halo Reach has tons of $100 tournaments per week and the option to fly to an Assembly or a Dreamhack or an IEM or a GSL or a GSTL or.... I think SC2 and Halo: Reach are on different plateaus of work to put in and money to get out. | ||

But as a team, they play 3-4 hours together going over strats, etc. It is not to say they only practice 3-4 hours, just 3-4 hours in one team session together. | ||

Only ex estro/wemadefox and before them lunatic-hai could compete but they never won anything international I believe (maybe estars once?). I don't think fps games reward 12 hours of training a day as much, 6-8 hours and better adaptation seems to be better. | ||

Thanks so much MLG. I bought Gold after seeing Anaheim and haven't regretted one second of it. You guys rock. Edit: rofl "I don't think it is possible to be effective with this weapon on this map" *headshot* *double kill* *triple kill* | ||
