Probably, the standards were very low back then.

Completely raw, no, but given a brief period of practice (or re-acquaintance for games that I have already played), probably yes:
>They have a maximum of years of game/genre-specific experience, I have up to three decades, depending on the game
>Besides personal experience, I am standing on the shoulders of giants in terms of game-independent understanding of e.g. game-independent RTS meta, and a bag of tricks with as-of-yet-undiscovered (to them) tactics that might be applicable for specific games
>I'm not a literal random player but known to be generally talented: these guys probably aren't your BoxeRs or NaDas or Fatal1ties that have been selected by brutal competition as the absolute best (as first "truly great" players in the era where competition started picking up), but more likely my rough peers in talent
