>>23544329It's about knowing how to predict. If you give those 10 year olds below 1600 a "smogon: the team" team and face them against a neckbeard in his 30's that diddles kids online they'll get their asses kicked because they're not capable of thinking about the opponents moves.
THEN luck factors in once you know your shit. Back before ORAS OU I made high 17's after doing competitive for the first time. Then I hit a string of RNG fuckups that put be down into high 16's. Kinda just stopped after that.
But hey, do what you wanna do. That shits not for everyone though.
