If they aren't 'built' in a certain manner, they won't be able to get the results.However, this doesn't mean that Calc was trying to discredit the importance of hard work altogether. He agreed that putting hours into practice is still an intergral part of growth.The pro player then compared esports to the NFL. Apparently, everyone in the Football league is talented (genetically), but the ones who work the hardest are the most successful.BBG Calc@yungcalc@DestinysJesus Because you still have to put in the work, just like real sports you can have massive amounts of talent but hard work matters too.

They believe that genetics do not come into play unless the discussion is about the best among the best.Hence, anyone with 'generic' genetics should be able to atleast win some Cash Cups or small tournaments. However, genetics might play a role when it comes to the FNCS or the World Cup.od26@_Od26@yungcalc You can argue genetics for the top top of the game. I’m talking “best player in world level” but anyone can achieve a tier one pro level. I’ll stand by that to the day I die.12:32 PM · Feb 28, 20221221@yungcalc You can argue genetics for the top top of the game. I’m talking “best player in world level” but anyone can achieve a tier one pro level. I’ll stand by that to the day I die.As of now, the Fortnite community hasn't been able to come to a conclusion regarding the importance of genetics in gaming.This might be because the likes of Bugha, Mongraal, benyfishy, Arkhram, MrSavage, and other pros have never boasted about their genetics, but have always credited hard work for their success.While the rigorous debate is still going on, many agree that Calc is famous for posting such controversial statements.
