Around 2,000hrs in tf2 though my best guess is double that in Minecraft over the years

That’s my concern. I’m happy for the effort but I can’t help but worry it will be right back to how it was in 6 months’ time.

Of course, I don’t doubt that. But someone with say 500 hours in csgo playing with keyboard mouse will absolutely destroy someone with 500 hours playing with sticks/gyro. But honestly I can’t think of a single streamer or pro that doesn’t use keyboard mouse

Not in a game like counter strike with flicking and very precise spray patterns.
