Of course not, but neither is being a pro-gamer. But hey, that's the choice he made. I sure hope he isn't going to complain about it.

Players don't decide how long in advance of a tournament they arrive.

Arriving that early at a tournament you don't have practice conditions there, so you're pretty much just wasting your time. Good idea though. Maybe we can host a tournament once every four years and take your advice.

Again you can stay at other players' houses. Now if they are a nice person they could let you use their computer to get some practice in etc.


This has been worked for me and many of my friends in SSBM community many times, no problems or bad experiences at all. Not sure what's with it not working for SC2 players hum...

Well, I hope you can hire police and secret agents, because without it players are put in dangerous spot and so is the crowd!

16 year old barely loses to ForGG in a 3-2 series and some people here flame him for being arrogant/being inexperienced enough to apply ladder results to tournaments

stay classy

Implying being 16 is a disadvantage? I'd say that's the best age for a player

seems likely as i cant think of a single player whos ever peaked at 16

I think in theory its best age because your brain is at his peak aswell as physically, BUT at 16 you have school and in generell not so much time to play( parents etc.)



Physical peak is late 20s, and mental peak generally is mid 20s, even though some other functions like spatial reasoning peaks in your late 50s. The reason you see teenagers doing so well is because they have less priorities and responsibilities. As much as we might like to say that gaming is mainstream, it really isn't, at least not yet. Many people lose their passion also the more they play the game. Just look at NaDa. His abilities didn't decline because of some physical or mental diminishing, but because his priorities shifted.

Let's also not forget the fact that Korean gamers are interrupted for years in the early 20s due to conscription. I think it's a bit silly to say that playing Starcraft is more physically or mentally demanding than say, Nolan Ryan pitching at age 43. If major league baseball players can still be on the top of the world in their late 30s in such a demanding sport, what makes you think that humans can't play starcraft in their early and mid twenties at the top of the game?



I mean just because you say things confidently does not make them correct.

p.s. SaSe has this base race in the bag

What does "mental peak" even mean?



Mental peak is just another way of saying the height of our cognitive functioning.

That doesn't make any sense though. Learning ability peaks at very very low ages and then declines through out life. Knowledge is attained as long as you live. Then there are various areas where you excel at different times in life. Talking about mental peak like it's a single thing or even measurable is silly.

In other news, Ret just played the worst game of his life. WTF? :s

Where are the "Suppy only wins 3-0 because Kas is tired" people at?


They are still strong I guess. Can't say how it would have went if Kas is in good condition. Could be the same, but I for mypart do also think it was Kas' lack of sleep. Just that some of us don't blame Suppy for winning. Not his fault Kas was tired.

????????????

Gamers have all sorts of sleeping schedules. Playing late doesn't imply being tired if you don't have a wake-up time?

but i know he said more than once something like 'pls start, i'm tired'
