      You are kidding me right? You need to play chess from the age of 10 to have a chance of becoming the #1 player in the world. And it will take at least 15 years before you get there.

      If you take any e-sports as a job and play 8h-12h a day you can be a top pro within 2 years, I've seen multiple e-sports pros say the same thing e.g Dota 2.

        i was in fact kidding. i could see an argument that esports involve less pure memorization and more in the moment skill, though i think that's just a different kind of skill
