> At the highest levels of play.

So not for 99.99% of the players.

Although it's not the same subject, this reminds me of a video by Duncan "Thoorin" Shields, a rather controversial and prominent eSports figure: "Gaming is a Waste of Time" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiXfnfBk3BM)

In the video, he talks (among other things) about people justifying the time they spend on video games by the fact that some players win millions by playing the game. Sure some do, but the very vast majority of players don't, and using the 0.01% of players as an exemple is not a good argument in favour of video games.

How did you come up with that percentage? Have you ever played CS?

Firstly, OP basically said that CS is not a strategic game at all, which is completely false.

Secondly, CS can get extremely strategic in the professional scene, but it is also quite strategic at higher ranks in the game's competitive mode ladder. It is also a heavily team-based game: e.g., if one of your team members is not communicating, you are at a huge disadvantage.

Ok, well tell us the percentage of CS players that play at the highest level?
