Some part of me wonders if the people who play the "old" games (CS, DotA etc.) have to put up with the same pressure of millions of young kids gunning for their spot like people in Fortnite/OW/Apex, for example, have to deal with. I'm sure they do, but idk 1/2
dude topson was a freak accident but for games like dota the map and character knowledge is so deep that those years of exp carry. However dota does see alot of new teams full of new players. The OG teams may just prefer playing with people they are familiar with over the years
