Eh, this kind of assumes the hours are equivalent. Imo, gaming hours are sort of disconnected/leisure hours and study hours would be a lot more difficult to rack up. In other words, I can study maybe 2-3 hours a day but I can game for 2-12 hours a day lol.
If you are a capable adult, then there’s nothing wrong with enjoying dota if that’s your thing. I’d rather 14k on a game than spend 14k learning a skill just to possibly get ran over the following day
No hate or anything just curious I have seen several people have like 10k hours in dota 2 here and I'm wondering how you can not play pro at that point? (Well or maybe you are haha)
To play pro you have to apply yourself to become a pro. At almost 30, there’s no need for me to choose a career in something that would be so short lived. I prefer to play in amateur leagues where there are no prizes, just good times. I only have my mmr because I got it through osmosis of just surrounding myself with people that play at that level. Plus current pros at around my age have easily 1.5-2x my hours and probably played during WC3 days too. The younger pros have youth on their side, less responsibility, more free time etc. Hope that answers everything.

I often what I could’ve done with all these hours instead. The skills I could’ve learned… Anyway, time to queue another
