But your assertion that pro gamers have "an abundance of time" is inherently wrong.
A professional gamer is a 'professional' because they spend their time practicing the player-to-player competitive aspect of a particular game, and as a result, have accumulated experience and skill to such a degree that a profit-generating business model can be built around the premise of other people watching pros play. That is how all professional sports work.
Derek Jeter is a pro baseball player. He plays baseball to make money. He practices baseball to get better at baseball to make MORE money. He does NOT play baseball in his free time. He plays golf or goes to parties or whatever.
To a pro gamer, playing the game is their job. They are working to make money. The time they spend working at their job is not time they can simply allot to doing something else, like entering a Forge contest. StrongSide (for example) might mess around with Forge in his free time, but he does NOT have MORE free time than anybody else just because his job happens to be "playing Halo."
