EPTVERY different.
This aside, Magnus is a true genius.
Already at age 24 he's one of the very best chess players of all time. Absolutely awesome.
What if Magnus Carlsen played Starcraft... - Page 3

It's all reflexes, instincts trained by playing countless hours of SC2. Why do people always think that playing top class starcraft requires intelligence? | ||

By the end of the day he would have transcended his physical form, reincarnating as pure energy and fusing with the spirit of tassadar. Could he stop Amon though? And I thought this thread was about a World's Strongest Man competitor, and I immediately thought that Incontrol would instantly become the second strongest man in E-Sports. | ||

Most players that are good in SC2 now have been playing video games for a long time. Computer experience and video game experience is a massive factor before you start SC2. Carlsen likes to relax with video games when he's playing tourneys, not sure about how much he's played throughout his life though. But ... combined with all his other skill sets, I would not be surprised to see him have a very strong base for competitive video gaming. As interesting as OP's question is, we all know there's not going to be an answer to it. What a tease  | ||

I think that would be a barrier to his improvement at first. | ||

Pretty sure Carlsen's already already won more world championships and set the record for highest rating of all time, and he's 24. | ||
