Zen was just like us for awhile and not the best player in the world. His mechanics were bad, decision making was bad, he was you for real. Let’s take a look at his progress, season by season, starting when he was 11 years old.

Those 2 seasons where he played 3k plus games is where he completely transformed, went from a casual/everyday player like us to grinding with purpose and it’s not like he got the mechanics out of nowhere as well he still wasn’t up there mechanically until he started getting top 100, shows that simply playing the game consistently and ranking up Is the quickest way to improve no matter what level, everything else will eventually fall into place
