>>26555242You can't compare chess, a game completely based on strategy, to Pokemon, where the competitive scene is full of cookie-cutter teams and RNG reliance.
Is there some strategy involved? Yes, but you can't tell me stuff like paralyze, freeze, burn, etc. isn't based on luck. Shit like this is present on every tier of competitive play and the chances of it happening are usually out of the control of the players.
If you won a match because of a critical hit or a parahax, chances are the competitive scene was never entirely skill based to begin with.
