Private teams do everything on super casual level. That's why they are private teams. Otherwise one could still play competitive on club level in senior teams. Those do exist.
But as for competitive level. I have never ever seen any coach trying to enforce elements in practice sessions that apply to semi-professional or professional team level. That never happened, because it would have failed with epic proportions. Any coach of what ever team they have cater their training and practice sessions around the skill level of their team as a whole.
I can agree with that..with e sports becoming more and more popular, i wouldn't say that its directed at the first or second group. sports have been around for thousands of years. e sports has been around for like 20 years. you can play it off how ever you want. but some people play games for different reasons. you are not a competitive person maybe so you choose not to raid for progression, or you choose not to pvp for high ranks. some people play hockey to win trophies, some people play to get drunk with some friends after the game. its the exact same thing in wow.
And yet the problem at hand is, that there's a certain very vocal group of players around that think everyone needs to play on eSport level, when in fact the vast majority of the games subscribers are not anywhere close to that mindset. We discuss this already controversial here on this platform, where every single contributor is already above the average players interest and motivation. We all are to some degree more "hardcore" oriented than the majority. The majority doesn't even bother with online sources related to the game.. They log in, do their thing, and have fun with it. That's it.
Which is a good approachI'm just simply pointing out things people are just over looking because of how they view this game, and trying to add another perspective to this thread.
