Not all hardcore players are professionals, just like not all gamers are casual. I simply took two extremes of the spectrum to prove my point; that there is a difference between hardcore and casual. A point that it seems we both fundamentally agree on.
hardcore isn't the only mindset, nor is casual. i'm just making the distinction that they are in fact, mindsets and not skill levels. yes most pros have a hardcore mindset. i've met various examples of and in many ways am the exception to this.
