T1 is always and has always been exhausting. but so was getting a high ranking in halo 3. its all about how much you want to put in to it. As a 15-time T1 winner myself, I must agree with Pat's assessment here.

As a comparison: I also play Magic: the Gathering. The pro players (who win all the time) and guys like some of my friends in the game (who want to be pro players) invest inordinate amounts of time playing and discussing the game. These are guys who sit in a room and watch live streaming coverage of tournaments, analyzing decklists, moves, and sideboard strategies. While I have some skill at the game, I can never be as good as they are because I can't bring myself to devote the level of time and effort they do to the game. (In fact, I had to step away from the game completely for a while to grasp this.) However, I can totally do it at TFL... for whatever reason, I don't know, but I can and I do. :D
