The Professional mind!
Hello guys and girls. I have done some research about a particular subject I wish to share with you in some moments. After you have read it, please give me some comments what you think, if you know WHY it is so etc.. I wish to put an article about it soon.
To the subject:
In my school, like in every other school, its very good to have excellent grades. I always wish to perform my best and thus I try to read much (often I get bored after 20 min or so ^^). If I've read 4 hours on a test and later next day perform, how should I call it, a- ?

My friends get a+ and I have to ask them, did you study a lot? They tell me, nooo, like 20 min or so.

I didnt give a thought about this until some days ago, when I heard Twisted talk in our IRC. "I had top grades" and I had to ask, "did you study a lot?", he tells me, "not a crap!".

When I hear Miracle and Drayich say the same thing when I ask them, I start to become suspicious. I started to ask the other proffesional players. I contacted atleast 10 of them, everybody said; "I learn things very easy". So could your learning ability have something to do with how far you can reach your dota goals or any gaming goals?

We all know some of us improve a lot faster than some others. But I always thought about this as a gen brought from an ancestor or too much playing games. To speak clear english; I think everybody who reach the competitive dota scene within a limit time, lets say 2 years, has a bigger learning capability than they (like me) who play and play and dont seem to get better. I mean, sure we get better, but as they have a bigger learning capability, they may learn as much on 6-7 games as "we" do in lets say 20 games.

I would say this is pretty much statistically proved. I'm not saying every "genious" is a great player, I'm saying every player is a small "genious". With this I would like to link computer games and school together. If you have a good learning capability in dota, you will have it in school too!

Sorry for my english, it may be some spelling mistakes somewhere but I hope you can live with them. I would very much enjoy if you could comment and come with some fact if you got some!

Well, i think it is linked. If someone is clever and has sharp mind should have less problems with mastering anything, including pc games. I guess it is due to better concentration and, due to this, higher usage of stored data.

Well I guess your theory can work with some computer games but not all. Have you ever seen the player base of counter-strike or other first person shooters? They are mostly pot smoking slackers with presumably terrible grades haha. I had pretty good grades and I'm awful at starcraft though :(

My friend is in (if i remember correctly what he told me) project MYM, a cs(dont know the version of cs, maybe source?) team that might be taken over by MYM, depending on some tournament in December and he has terrible grades ;p He barely got promoted to the next class. Byut he doesnt smoke afaik. So Tundravalco may be right :)

I suppose, instead of study, they play video games. Long periods of gaming = experience. Eventually, they're bound to be good =]
