To everyone who claims that being 30 somehow ruins your motor skills etc.
Both players are freakishly fast and accurate yet both are over 40.
Pointing out a few examples is not how to properly argue something.
Especially when, in BW, it is widely known that players can't legitimately compete anymore after a certain age.
So in order to refute an anecdote you present one of your own, only with less evidence. /facepalm
You can look at TLPD for evidence. There has been only a few progamers who have been able to compete at that age.
That doesn't necessarily mean they get worse, it might just mean they stop practicing as much because they stop caring. Correlation =/= Causation.
It is a combination of getting worse and younger players being better. There is mechanical deterioration for people who have progamers for a long period of time. That is a fact.
*looks at Boxer*
hmmmmm
No matter how much boxer practices, even if he played 16 hours for the net year, he would not compete against flash.
Is there any way to watch both streams at the same time, with silver membership? Get that "code being used by more than one computer"-message, even if I'm logged in with Chrome and not logged in with firefox. Have two screens and don't want to miss anything

Boxer couldn't compete in BW.
Again, that doesn't necessarily mean it was because he got older. It could have just as easily meant that he got burned out. I could even pull the Nestea card if you want. He's the oldest SC2 pro I know and he's clearly the best player in the world.
Seriously, getting older is only one possible reason out of thousands that could cause a progamer's decline in skill.
