The problem with that gametype is that its so simple and so elementary that anyone can excel at it in a matter of a few days practice and it instills a sense of false godliness.
Hence why fools like Majin or REN think they have any talent.
I was never "great", I reckon I was good if not mediocre at best. I know the strategies, but not the implementation. Also note that living in NZ back when I played I got some pretty bad pings.
I have played on 0-Aug servers but that's not what I started playing. I started with Augs, and I've always preferred it. But playing Augs on anywhere between 400-2000 ping is really hard (dunno why the hell 400ms lags so much compared to 2000 though).

A few lucky strokes doesn't take much talent, it takes just that; luck. A few strokes without luck doesn't take talent either, I'm proving that right now by typing out this message.
Using those strokes to win a video game however by not hacking or sheer "luck" as some people might call it does not take luck IMO. Talent is involved in many games to be good if not excellent, I think so more in RPG's than in FPS' games personally but that's just my opinion.
