When casual observers watch a professional arena battler tournament, they often focus entirely on the macro-level gameplay.

It is the difference between placing a skeleton one tile to the left, which perfectly kites a P.E.K.K.A, versus placing it one tile to the right, which gets the skeleton instantly killed.

The only way to master these micro-interactions is through thousands of hours of repetitive, intentional practice.
