> My whole point was that you can still have a professional quality (as in eSports level) experience with equipment that's not super-ultra-top-of-the-line-fantastic, saving you the super-ultra-top-of-the-line-fantastic premiums.
I'm not sure I understand. In this area (as opposed to functional clothing etc) it's very easy to measure real differences between a GTX 1070 and a 1080, and seeing pixels on more than 1080p when the screen is 27" and up.
That you can get a rags-to-riches story in eSports learning to play on a 5 year old computer is very true, but it doesn't detract from the fact that it's easier with better hardware.
If you don't feel it's worth it it's not worth it for you, but the difference is very real.
