outskilled
Surpassed in ability
Outskilled means surpassed in skill or defeated by superior ability: We were completely outskilled by the other team.
The word appears most often in gaming and sports contexts, where technical proficiency determines outcomes.
Being outskilled suggests the loss was due to ability rather than luck or circumstances.
