Yeah, put an eye tracker in a pro and you'll see that the eyes are constantly changing the focus point, if you can watch the entire scene with the same precision without the need to focus on it you're already at a nice advantage.

As an aside, a few pro gamers prefer to play on windowed mode for exactly this reason.

Just supporting this. I remember the uproar when 800x600 resolution was removed as an option in SC2 around 2012[1].

> the uproar

I'm not saying you're wrong, but 6 posts with no profanity is hardly "uproar" by blizzard forums standards.
