what do GMs do that Masters don’t do?

Get lucky lol

 

[Matt Ramsden]

They have more consistent groups with people and communication. The difference in individual skill isn’t that much

GM's don't one trick (Except for Mercy mains). Masters is pretty much GM's and diamond's one trick purgatory

 

[Chaz Frisell]

Fuck girls instead of being on pornhub all day ?

The skill difference between Masters and GM is pretty big (not talking about peak 4k people - people who are 4,2k+ and are able to stay there and climb)

The only thing that hasn't improved that much is aim (even that depends from person to person).

Getting mid/high GM is about knowing your positioning, being able to time your skills right, better ult management, giving IMPORTANT information to your team (when they're in voice - even in GM people don't give a flying fuck) and ofc keep working on your aim, even if the difference is not that big.

There are a lot one tricks in GM, so "don't be a one trick" is bullshit. It's just easier most of the time when you aren't, except when you perform godly on your hero.

It's about self-improvement to get there, but kinda about luck and other things how fast you will get there.

Btw peaking 4k is easy, climbing and maintaining is the harder part

I sometimes do custom game aim training FFA deathmatch rooms and lots of GM and top 500 players go in there.. and I had this top 500 Ana wreck everyone lol my sr is 3711 and I stood no chance as McCree. This Ana player just knew when to engage at the right time and those sleep darts were clutch af

Communication is far superior.
Positioning is far superior.
Target priority is slightly better but I wouldn’t say drastic.
Aim is similar, some masters have great aim but game sense holds them from climbing. Not all GM players are mechanically sane, some are probably worse than masters mechanically but they have far better in-depth knowledge of what do in situations. Any master player can do the climb to GM if they try hard enough. GM players are extremely confident in taking fights & play much more aggressive. This is probably one of the biggest factors as it’s true individual skill. GMs at the same time know when to not be overly aggressive.
