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? You have good insight. Playing video game is not nearly as demanding physically. I wouldn't be surprised 60 years old winning GSL if he/she has a chance and dedication to do so. Often times, people start to play games in teenage years. Therefore, it is only natural that some talents come up from those age bracket. When e-sports grow bigger and pro gamer career is taken more seriously by societies, then we might see more older age champions. For now, being younger is an advantage. Some say you have school, but if you start to work, school responsibility is such a joke compared to working responsibility. Maybe some youngsters don't understand that. I certainly didn't back then to be fair. Videogames really rely on your cognitive abilities, your reaction times and whatnot that decline relatively quickly. Plus only the young tend to have sufficient time to dedicate to playing full time which is probably part of it.
Please don't tell me you are saying that playing starcraft is harder than trying to hit a 98MPH fastball, or a 87MPH Circle-Change coming from someone like Roy Halladay...As someone who extensively played RTS and Baseball for most of my life, I can definitely say, that playing baseball is much more demanding both physically and mentally, and the sport isn't dominated by 18-21 y/o's. Indeed, most don't peak until their late 20s or early 30s. There's a reason for this.

S'all I'm saying  Ret is considered a better player than Suppy? Not by me at least but whatever you say...
Ret totally blew that last game though, he knew it was 2rax in the mid. I facepalmed when I saw him making 6 drones at once. As I pointed out earlier, Kas could have killed him even earlier. I don't get why he'd do that. Ret could have overkilled lings to kill that allin and THEN went full drones and he'd have been way ahead anyway, why doesn't he understand you don't need 60 drones vs 20 SCVs, having 40 drones vs 20 SCVs is just fine if it guarantees you don't die.

At the age of 29? Not a chance.

Ret is mentally broken after losing his first match, check out his twitter.
I think we have to distinguish that no one is actually flaming Suppy. Most are just skeptical at jumping on the bandwagon given the complications of the players in his group. By all means, I hope we have a great new player in the scene

I did never bash Suppy did I? I don't know anything about him so I can't speak. I didn't even see the games so I cannot comment on it. All I'm saying is that Kas with perfect condition is a ton better than a half-asleep Kas. I've seen him many times and he's usually solid as a rock but once in a MSI Pro Cup or Millenium Cup he was tired as hell... his level dropped down by a ton. He's still Kas and still amazing, but any progamer being jetlegged, tired, exhausted etc will not play to his/her full potential.

As many pointed out, cancelling 2nd spine when all those marines were already behind mineral line was a bad decision in retrospect. Ret would have been in great shape if he held with 1 spine only though.

Further, even if Ret is behind in drones it doesn't matter if he holds the all in. He has two hatches and queens for injects.

Was that Fog of War thing a bug? I could have sworn that Overlords barely has more sight than buildings in SC2..

Kas "The zombie terran" vs Ret "the emo zerg", what a funny matchup ^^
(If you don't know what I am talking about check Ret's twitter.
