1) You have to be skilled individually. I mean there are a few exceptions, but for the most part you need to be very individually skilled to convince people they are making the right choice putting you on the roster.

2) Since everyone in the pro scene is there for being GOOD at the game individually and being asked to play on a team together because their skill was recognized... naturally they have to work together, this is generally the crucial factor that determines a teams w/l.

3) A lot of pro players were actually rude with a decent number of exceptions (mainly ones who streamed) but many cleaned up their act after the whole iwilldominate situation. There are a lot of skilled D1 and challenger players who are bm as **** though.

So most pro players are not toxic then?

Editing stuff forward and adding relevant information to the start of the thread, check there if you have not seen it since commenting prior to this point.

Most players SEEM like they're well-mannered.

You don' know what they do with some smurf accs...



And seriously:

E-Sports isn't that close to normal sports like football, soccer, basketball, etc.


Being "Pro" doesn't mean that being a decent player comes first...

Being able to promote yourself is.

Playing skills are second.

Yeah, that is kind of what I was shooting for! Thank you :) If we can prove that players should be decent people if they want to win, then I will be happy with how this discussion goes.

IDK some high elo players are foul mouthed.

IWILLDOMINATE has been known to be a former toxic plyaer

I mean teamwork alone won't carry you, You have to be skilled.

1) Skill matters a lot.

2) Its a team game what do you expect

3)There's a number of foul mouthed Diamond 1/challenger players.

In response to your #2: I intend / expect to raise awareness in the community about toxicity, and encourage users to improve their behavior.
