>being good at that them doesn't mean anything irl
100% true. My justification was that my school and work life were in good standing, so I could spend my free time competing. I enjoyed it, and it never overtook my responsibilities, although my social life did suffer because of it. I can easily see how you could slip into a 12 hour grinding session and abandon your responsibilities. The hardest part of PvP games was being able to end on a loss when your play time is over. I noticed this helps you improve your skills faster as well, since instead of going autopilot and grinding for hours every day, you let your brain process the information while you're sleeping or doing something else, so when you return, you make the correct decisions much faster.
Play a few games, maybe 2 hours maximum on a good day, and then get back to being responsible. Take a few days off every now and then, and notice substantial skill improvements when you return. Gif related. It takes time for skill to develop.
I wouldn't suggest most people get into PvP games. It takes too much discipline to not ruin your life.
