axegrinder22 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Following Evo I was reading about the characters people play in tournaments and it made me wonder if watching a pro has ever convinced you to pick up a new character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarik Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I usually don't watch how pros play games but I just watch random moments in YouTube compilations. If I find a good tactic which I like I might use it when I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned, just watching a pro play isn't enough to teach me well but also having to play against one as well. It's in the challenge that I really get to learn.

Justin11 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 When I discover this player is more of a pro than me when it comes to video game I simply learn from him to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I'm of the opinion that life is all about learning. So, there is a lot you can learn from a pro because they are a pro for a reason. I wouldn't mind at all copying a pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get to see who's better than you are, it's very necessary to try and pick up one or two things from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I learnt to play World of Warcraft better because of Preach, and in numerous MMOs I tend to look at guides that are written by World First players and such. I don't copy them word for word (or rather I do and fail because I've not got the capacity to remember it all,) but I do find myself being measurably better when I consult guides and develop that muscle memory.

Head_Hunter Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 No one is an island, when it comes to learning it perfectly in some games we need an expert specifically on the game we opted for to teach us what we need by staying closer and learning how he or she plays.

Heatman Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 No knowledge comes naturally without you trying to get it. So, if you want to expand your reach, opening up your mind towards learning is ultimate way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin11 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Without my friends who are pro gamers I wouldn't know how to play games and perfecting it somehow today. They helped me improve especially on soccer and racing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you played football in real life, it's supposed to be very easy to adapt in learning how to play it in video games because you're already familiar with the basics.

Yeah, I did played football in real life especially during my college days in school but the fear of getting injured deterred me from playing till date. I can't remember the last time I kicked a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I become like a pro in any game when you play it for hours and hours and you learn and get fast and good at it, but it does not chnage who the person is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 When you dedicate your time of several hours in a particular video game, there is a very big chance that you will become so good at it and it will be very easy for you to play and teach others.
