I once thought watching a few replays of pro players would be enough to copy their moves. But when I tried, it was a disaster. They make things look simple, but I realized later it’s because of years of experience and small decisions they’ve built over time. For beginners like me back then, even the “easy” parts were overwhelming. It showed me how big the skill gap really is between seasoned players and newcomers.

It’s similar to watching a chef on TV and thinking you can cook the same dish right away. What looks effortless is backed by years of training and endless repetition. Without that foundation, trying to copy advanced skills usually ends in frustration, no matter how carefully you follow along.
I totally relate. I once copied a strategy from a well-known player, thinking I could just repeat the steps. What I didn’t see were the countless adjustments they made on the fly that only come from deep knowledge and practice. The article at https://markmeets.com/posts/why-following-big-winners-strategies-in-gaming-usually-backfires/ explains this really well — the skill gap makes it impossible for most beginners to execute complex methods the same way pros do. That’s why I started focusing on basics instead of chasing flashy plays.
