yes, you need to be skilled to pull off the system.

it's not that narrowly applicable. that's where i'm frustrated at the hate--it doesn't take an all-star team to play a good tiki taka game. it takes having skilled players over athletes and having them trained in the system for a long time--and it helps to have them train together more than in other systems.

but they don't need to be "11 of the most technically gifted players in the world" significantly more than other systems need world class players to be a world class side
