The only ones that i usually consider real specialists are the ones that have an SA from the beginning ( nordgens and scout players).
I'm not a guru, just my opinion which of course can always be wrong.
Personally i'm going for the stars or sometimes for a second position.
I know several has tested the effect of SA, including myself, There doesn't seem to be a significant positive difference with SA. That is also why I always advice to go for star. T11 has also said in their guide to SA that a six star player still will perform better than a five star with SA. IMO this makes it ludacris to wast green and tokens to train SA.
