Charting/trading and competitive gaming aren't very different. There's a lot of similarities between the two when it comes to mindset and progress.
At any given time, a competitive gamer would always welcome free MMR, rank, progress, etc. No different than how at any given time, a trader would welcome profit or an increase to his or her portfolio. BUT, the seasoned gamer AND the seasoned trader both understand these gains do not come for free.

Overheard some soon to be college graduates discussing their career prospects yesterday. Typical finance and business majors (4 kids total), 3 of them saying how they can't find any internships or job opportunities.
