Is esports skill or connections?

I'm sure some of you have seen players that have been in somewhat tier 1 orgs and wondered how on earth was is this guy a tier 1 pro?. Is it really skills or connections??. With some notable tier 2 ex csgo pro players making most of the rosters in tier 1 orgs I wonder this?. Some ex pros from other games such as overwatch and fortnite hardly get the same opportunities. Then again it could be because csgo and val are somewhat similar.

yes

absolutely

both

connections for the most part but skills too

YES ESPORTS NEEDS BOTH SKILLS AND INTERNET CONNECTION TO PLAY
HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIOM

definitely both

I mean its a new esports there's a lot of questionable players in tier 1 scene. With this franchising you see teams replacing subpar players.

Money and connections

Connections they made from previous games. But they had to grind their way up from a nobody back then. So you can say it takes both.
