I've been thinking about this recently. Did it ever once appear in your head that some players who are or were really experienced with the game have not decided to play Clan Wars because they don't have the time for it? Maybe they don't want to spend their time playing a video game competitively if they aren't gaining anything from playing? Some people might not be the competitive type of person.
What do you think?

cant properly learn this game in a game with lots of people fucking around, uneven numbers of players, no tactics involved 95% of the time, barely any communication on the teams, and no overall teamplay other than the occasional stank rush (if that can be called teamplay)

Fair point.
I used to do clan wars in CS and he's got a point.
Everything counts. there was formations, choice of weapons, different routes to the maps, who is carrying the bomb and what style of play does the bomnb carrier play?
I never got good at CS:S playing public matches, I just got better at public matches. Once the numbers died down I used to be shit cos skilled players would be better with small numbers, but I started playing clan wars with this guy and I got better with small numbers. You noticed things you never used to, foot steps, how to tell how much damage you did to a player that got away, better aiming techniques, better map routes, memorizing camp spots, using flash/smoke/grenades more effeciently etc.
After I got good (id say mid-ranged player) I got much better at public matches cos once the numbers went down, I'd play as if I was playing a 5 v 5 match, were as the rest of the team would be running around like headless chickens revealing themselvs on radar and basically letting me pick them off 1 at a time.
Same for Renegade, I used to be a decent public player but in small clan wars or 1v1's I was god awful. 15 v 15 or 5 v 5, different numbers, different strats. You can't argue this, most games prove this formula, unless your playing call of dooty: modern borfare, auto aim does the job for you.
Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.
