I´m willing to believe all you guys, but yet there is someone to come back to championship form after military. Never happened. There were other great champions that failed to even reach top foreigner level. Maybe one factor is the changing meta and patches, you don´t have to face that in Tennis, and in FGC the meta changes but I believe not on the same level as a RTS game (different build orders, counters, all ins, reactions to all of that, reactions to the reactions etc. etc.). Moon in Warcraft 3. The scene doesn’t have the same depth as SC2 maybe, but it is still a pretty demanding RTS and he did get back to the top level. He’s older than Polt now as well. I imagine military service is seen by some as a natural breaking point in their life. Try to be the best gamer they can before it, do something else with their life after it. Especially as even now it’s hard to make better money as a player than many standard 9-5 jobs. It’s a lot of pressure when the gap between being financially comfortable and broke is putting in consistent 10 hour days and bridging the gap between being in the top 100-50 in the world at something to say, top 20+. The real famous BW players made bank from streaming when they went back, and there were still tournaments in the post-Kespa era, they could show their personality to the fans etc. Many good players who maybe didn’t have those results or fame still found comfortable niches there. People may love the games, sometimes doing something for living can kill that love and doing it as a hobby again might restore that. In the same way college is a time for many to experiment, be idiots and find themselves as it’s a natural window in which to do those kind of things. | ||
