Why do pro-gamers spam hotkeys?
#17
RE: Why do pro-gamers spam hotkeys?
I never knew about it myself but I reckon it makes sense. Neurons don't just fire once, they fire trains of spikes. The frequency of these spike trains change in frequency over time and need to coincide with the firing rate of other neurons. If you're reacting to something fast then it would make sense if the appropriate neurons are already firing at a fast rate.

I can see that it would work for some games where how fast you press keys make all the difference. Not sure how you could do it with a game like Counter Strike where it depends how quickly you hit the mouse button.
