Would you rather be best doom player or best mapper

You make maps? I didn't know you actually played Doom.

^^^^^^^^this^^^^^^^

I would definitely prefer to create things than to play. I am not even very high in my creative hobbies just average, but I wouldn't give that for gaming/consuming of creative goods.
But in terms of choices and outcomes, maybe best player if we talk about absolutely top, could be better. The top e-sports players sometimes make a lot of fame and money, while the really good mappers are less known publicly (but could make a good career in the game industry maybe).
But I'd still like to stick in my cave and sometimes create stuff and others play casually Doom, but could never for example put the excessive effort for being top of the crop. I look at speedrunners and I admire, but I wouldn't be motivated to absolutely put 1000s of replays till I get that 1 more second.

If I was the best mapper, then I'd have an extra 1200$ in the bank due to Jimmy's and Tarnsman's mapping contests.
