Scientist compares pro gamers versus average gamers


I was very surprised that mechanics aren't a major factor. I mean, clearly they would be if you were 80 and had Parkinson's, but this excuse was often used to partially explain our lack of success in LoL. "We're old, they're young."

Turns out, the same reason that certain sports ball athletes are able to elevate their game above others translates to video games. It's all about processing information.

A baller is a baller - got it.

Didn't work for MJ playing baseball, but I still like the findings.

Yeah, but that's just it, I don't think MJ had the same level of genius in baseball that he did in basketball.

Remember that Einstein was a smart gentleman who could barely dress himself and got lost walking home from the ice cream store two blocks away.

MJ had an aptitude for basketball, but his ego told him he could play baseball. Different things.

You can look at our group and see each person's "strong" games and their "weak" games and see similar trends.

Well that's a thread that needs to be made, imo. For hilarity and whining alone, and FOR SCIENCE!
