Well I'm not sure there's any player in Shoutcraft on Squirtle's level but this was certainly a mismatch.
Maybe not after Zest got eliminated.

It's a stupid narrative that's been pushed for no real reason for over a year now.

So has the opposite narrative: The previous era was obviously the best so no player could ever top them.

Almost every narrative pushed in eSports is fake and stupid to be fair.

logically it makes the most sense that the skill-level is the highest when the scene is the most competitive.
So in 2013-15 as the amount of koreans playing back then was far higher and proleague was a thing.
that doesn't mean that the top players back then can never be topped though.

Logically it makes sense that the skill level increases over time.

Yeah but players get better the longer they play. People say WoL was the most competitive, but the skill level of HoTS was clearly higher

No, this is only true if the level of competition remains the same or increases.
However in SC2 that is probably the case, so it's fine.

people don't get better the longer they play. as you get older your reaction time decreases and your hands won't move as fast anymore.

Or they break their wrists, necks, backs, and eventually can't play to the level they used to play. MVP at top form would, I believe, still beat any player playing today.

This indeed looks like a mech build.

At a certain point yes (if you're getting closer to 30 maybe). But for the most part your skill increases with hours played.
Look at Inno, TY, Stats, ByuN etc. These guys took 5-10 years of professional play before they reached the top
