I've always been slower than my opponents, right now I'm at 120-130 APM on average (which is the fastest I've ever been). I'm still trying to break into masters, maybe I'll get there someday, maybe not. I'm enjoying the game, so I don't really care :-) | ||

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. I feel exactly the same. The age doesn't really matter that much imo, it's mostly about beeing able to afford the time and motivation after hard working days for me. My peak was masters 1 some years ago (maybe higher before they showed mmr but never GM on EU), I play sometimes for like 1-2 weeks now and reach masters 2 quite easy even with 31 years old, so I would imagine playing for a longer period would achieve masters 1 again. APM didn't change at all (depending on race 200-250 ingame, not sure about epm). What changed is mostly the motivation to "work" on something hard like StarCraft after working all day, this part was so much easier back in the day. | ||

I dont think you get slower i just think you start to accept the mistake and think about it for the next game . . . but totally ignore it! | ||

I had such a long break before and coming back was frustrating as heck - I couldn't keep up in Diamond, but when I tried playing another race or random, I rolled over everyone until low Plat. It reminds me why MMR decay was created a couple of years back. | ||

i've peaked at top dia (4.4-4.5k) and never got higher because i don't train properly or learn from my mistakes. i play the way i want, do stupid builds, have poor concentration, tunnel vision, turn my brain off and micro, etc. occasionally i "tryhard" and i get better results, but it doesn't make the game that much more fun for me, so i just keep playing my forever diamond style. i enjoy spending my time hiding spawning pools off creep in my main more than i enjoy practicing cannon rush defense, so this is the league where i belong | ||

The sad fact is that you can only play this "for fun" with a bunch of friends and most of mine do not have the time or desire to play. So watching replays is a nice "plan B" for enjoying good Starcraft, although I can still remember the joy of nuking 8 Overlords full of Hydralisks with one single nuke in BW. With the desire to turn Starcraft 2 into a worldwide eSport I really think there will be some "victims" of this scheme among the professional players when they turn 30 or so and the next generation with faster reflexes runs over them. When I think of people like IdrA - who devote all of their life to playing the game - and think about his "tech switch in this game called life" after the end of his career, I can only come up with two future jobs: 1. McDonalds opens up a restaurant in the middle of Seoul and you get served there by all the former pro players. 2. Morning talkshows or small amusement parks around the country, where you can "play against IdrA for 5$". None of those are very dignified, but for people who devote all their attention to one thing it will be hard to get rid of that addiction and be focused enough to do something else very well. The match fixing scandal clearly showed that the players are aware of the issue IMO, but many of the kids who aspire to become professional gamers do not realize the danger. Unlike basketball pro players there is no "Starcraft teacher" at school, so there is no clear "followup" to the "Starcraft pro gamer tech" in life and pro gamers do not earn enough to have sufficient funds for the rest of their life as top sports stars do. Idra is a bad example. What he did, he did for passion for Broodwar. He then stayed with Sc2 because he was making very good money. When he quit he did uni and I assume got a job as a professional. | ||

These days I am also able to have glass of red wine after work and play a few games of SC2 and not stress that it is killing my macro. Acceptance of mediocrity is a nice thing sometimes! | ||

I used to be much faster, now I play Terran with 85 APM in Diamond often against opponents with 2 or 2.5 times my APM. I am getting by on macro and decision making, my micro, multitasking and reaction speed have declined a lot. | ||

Where is the next competitive RTS coming from that gains any traction? Arena FPS games are largely dead outside Quake Champions, which is still nowhere near as big as I thought it would be. In those particularly genres, or in games involving similar skillsets, us old folks kind of have an advantage even now over any new entrant who's an RTS virgin, one that will presumably grow more and more over time as the genre grows less mainstream. | ||
