This is a logical truth - because they are the best players, luck is the only variable not in their control which is just as likely to arbitrarily favour the less skilled. But I'm not sure how they can be at war with luck when they must acknowledge that even when they're playing their absolute A game they WILL need slices of luck on multiple occasions if they're to win a big MTT.
