This is all coming from someone who's an experienced FPS player. All in all tho, I wish these guys the best of luck if they do go to OW! There are quite a bit of roles in OW which require little to no aim. In general OW is a lot more about ulti usage than good aiming in general. | ||

If the skill floor is too high, people will quit immediately because the game is too hard. If the skill ceiling is too low, people will quit eventually due to the game being too easy/no more room to improve. | ||

If OW fulfils the second requirement is still open tbh. I don't wanna say that the live audience was bad, but it wasn't packed either: 18k viewers for the vod are decent i guess | ||

There's no denying that. But at the same I don't see why teams wouldn't just pick up players who come from an FPS background. If anything, these players will be more solid pickups cuz theyd be able to play to the aim based classes as well as the support classes. In tf2, for example, pro medics didn't need to be the best at aiming, but that certainly didn't mean that pro teams picked up medic players that just couldn't also aim. I may be underplaying the skill level of these RTS players at FPS a bit (I really don't know how good they are), but It feels like these teams are unnecessarily shooting themselves in the foot by picking up players who r just gunna be support players when they could pick up someone who's gud at both aim and support. | ||

I feel the idea is that pro players of other games have the dedication to get good at any game in theory. At the end of the day you still sit in front of a pc, use mouse and keyboard and stare at your screen. Most progamers should be able to do very well in pretty much any game, if it is enough to be at the very top is another case though, only time can tell. | ||

I'd imagine my boy ByuL is never getting that title. Probably going off into the sunset. | ||

I definitely am a strong proponent to the idea that anyone can be gud at something if they practice enough, and In that sense, these pros have already proven theyve got wat it takes. Even so, I still stand by the fact that I think it's wiser to pick up players who are already established FPS players as well. As u said, only time will tell how much potential they have to be at the top. Good luck myungsik and the rest of the guys! I will be cheering for u! | ||

Also it's possible that those pro player typically went pro generally because they were good in any game. You keep hearing teh best sc2 players stating that they were the best in playing games in their neighborhood. | ||

Because the skill level required to play this game is nothing compared to sc2. I think one does simply practice less than a couple months with the right team and thats it. | ||

Plz don't bash on other games... especially if you don't understand them. | ||
