We're all quite a bit older than when this thread was made.

@Solar424 - the interesting question is, if all these older people are still here/part of the community/active players...
Balance, it is all about balance (even in sc2 ;))

Age only matters for time available to practice and not needing stable income for a family.

As I get older, I find myself watching more WCS and GSL, usually as spoiler-free VODs on SC2links, because I don’t have time to play enough to be good, and work gets in the way of watching events live.

I actually play with higher APM now than 5 years ago because I got a bit better at the game. APM is just a reflection of muscle memory and knowing builds and proper reactions, not how fast you can click.

41, still here. Hovering around plat1-dia3, and my only ambition is to still enjoy the games I play.

I'm teaching my kids how to play. So I'm guessing we've come full circle

I am 29, definitely can feel I am just reacting slower.
I can blame my worse play on lack of practice but the reaction time is just slower.

Still in diamond as zerg though. My other two races are stuck with hots build order and I simply haven't learnt the lotv builds

51 Plat Terran. Made Diamond once. My 20 year old son has 2.5 times my APM. I Mech vs Z and T and Bio vs Toss. I still ladder regularly, a few hours per week, with the biggest restriction from work and family. My youngest son is almost 5 and I’m looking forward to him gaining the skills to play with me. We just started Diablo 3 together on Xbox. I still watch some of Maru, TY, Inno, etc.

SC2 is a great game and way better than chess. Thanks to all the Terrans in the community Max, Ketroc, Crank, whom I follow.

Thanks for the OP

45 here. Started playing terran shortly after SC came out, before the Broodwar expansion.
Now platinum in all three races in SC2, with almost no time to play, but still loving it (and still sucking at it, but this is not age-related).
I cannot believe I am the oldest, come on guys. Climb the age ladder.

Edit:

51 Plat Terran.

Thanks bro

31 or 32 cant remember, cannot get passed halfway between diamond1 and masters3. I probably average around 207 apm with terran and 260 as zerg.

I'm 31, started playing in 98 (11 y/o), and I think I'm better then I have ever been at the game. My critical thinking far exceeds the ability to spam buttons at this age. I've also always been slow to mature. I think I am five years until the prime of my Starcraft life

Honest question since i have a newborn son (3month). You are playing D3 with a 5yo while it's a PEGI 16 (18?) game. Why ? (real honest question. 'cause D3 as a lot of disgusting / Weird thing.).

29 and personally feel I've never been better at SC2. Masters 1 / occasionally GM when I have the time to put in. Just hard to find the time with career, relationships, social life, bills, and so on. Starcraft tends to be the first thing I have to cut out when stuff gets hectic.
