Just another one of those questions that have been on my mind. I want to know what its like to be in a competitive game competition and if its worth it. Theres no way ill even be in 1 because they look hard and im a casual gamer.

    I participated in a local Unreal Tournament competition and won $3k. Was $75 buy in and I think I got somewhat lucky in my match placement. Was allowed to do this solo at 14 🤣.

    Lots of terrible players in my bracket while I watched the best pick each other off on the other half. Took second honestly by sitting back and picking off kills from others engagements 🤷‍♂️.

    I did CAL P on in the 1.6 era with middling success.

    I barely can get high in the mid tier leagues. Too much specialization, meta, and the playing field is literally thousands of times bigger.

      You’ve probably also aged out of it. I never thought it’d happen, but I can feel my hand/eye coordination getting worse over the decades.

      It’s well document in Korean pro leagues that APM decreases with age as well.
