I don't get why people act like he's too old to play. That's almost as stupid as the fools who go around calling people "n00bs."

He's 21. Oh no, how old.

Think how awful it is to be past your prime at the age of 21...That has to suck

Speaking as a soon to be 22 year old, that's a pretty terrible excuse. He just doesn't cut it with todays pros or his heart isn't in it anymore.I'm as good if not better than I've ever been at games

grrr.... protoss fighting~~!!!

i had to LOL at this comment though

Patry cut his gaming teeth on World of WarCraft, a game from Blizzard Entertainment which subsequently made StarCraft.



also, mindspike is probably right, it never actually says hes retiring now, just that his time is "coming to an end". The reporter is still using present tense when referring to him as a progamer.

Not really. If General Patton was as old as he was on the battle field, you could theoretically play SC until you die. Besides, Nada said he wanted to be the first to be a 30 year old progamer. And Boxer is older than Grrr.


there's nothing theoretical about playing bw at an advanced age.
the patton reference is ridiculous as he didn't move armies with a mouse on a 2 dimensional plane.
who cares what nada says, fuck that little shit. he is good at bw though.
yes, boxer is older than grrrr.

Nowhere in the article just it say Grr... is retiring. He just says pro-gamers lose their edge once they get older.

Is operating a mouse and keyboard and using one's strategical mind that demanding? My point with Patton was, which you ceased to see, is that he was a strategist at a very high age. Ok, so you can be a strategist at a high age. Now, you can also operate a mouse and a keyboard at a high age. You can play SC at a high age.

What seriously is wrong with his post? It is true Boxer is not the best anymore and he will probably decline further as he grow older.

Though Boxer is still my favorite t
