I look at some of the top ranked people on the ladder and I just get curious, which contributed more to their success--good teambuilding or skilled playing?
Obviously both contributed, but I'm curious what you all think contributes more to being a really really good player, having great prediction skills and metagames knowledge or happening across a brilliant team design?
Another form of the question you might respond to: which would make a person more likely to win more often in your opinion, having a brilliant team and mediocre prediction skills/metagame knowledge, or having a mediocre team but brilliant prediction skills/metagame knowledge?
I guess one reason I ask this is because I hover around 1650 on each ladder and I wonder what would contribute more to my own success if I worked on developing one of those skills. Again, ideally you'd want both, but I'm wondering which is more important, even if only slightly.
