Hey guys,
I've heard different opinions on this so I would like to have yours as well.
I've heard people say that in order to be good at sc2, you need to be a certain age, what I have heard is 15-30 but idk.
Is that I am 13, and still silver after like 2 months a coincidence?
I have heard people say that since im younger, my hand-eye isnt as good, I cant make decisions as well, etc. Therefore making my chances of getting out of low leagues extreamly difficult.
Do you agree with this? Would it be better for younger people like me to quit sc2 for now, because we arent gonna get any better till we are older?
Please Discuss

If you like to 6 pool, ur more than welcome to quit <3

Creatorprime and maruprime are both 15.
age is irrelevant
the only thing that matters is how much work you put in

There are master league players your age, and terrible players who are much older. One could argue that in your young age it is easier to develop the skill-set, and that playing through puberty will facilitate a rapid increase in your skills. Note then when you are 13, generally there is a lot less bullshit to deal with, so you should be able to play more. When I played CS 1.6 at that age, I was much less intelligent relative to now, but superior in terms of mechanical speed.

keep playing and you will improve. I can't say that age is really a factor. Some people are 20 and are silver league. And there are other players najzmaj for example who is 12 and in master league. Therefore you can definately get to any league you want and just keep practicing.

You know what would be great, a poll for each individual league asking what age you are. No joke man, the time is ripe for a survey. Take control of this situation and let's set us up a poll!

Not at all. Flash was playing at your age. There are chess grandmasters that are your age. You are still young so you can mold your brain with SC2 better than a person who's older than you. You may not have the critical thinking of a 25 year old, but you have calculating power and tons of room for potential.

Hey man, honestly when you're as young as you are, just pick something you have fun doing. If you like playing sc2, play the shit out of it! Don't worry about being good at it because anything you start doing at your age, and stick with, you will be VERY, VERY good at it later on. Try not to put pressure on yourself to be good at something. As long as you like doing it, that really and truly is the only thing that counts right now!
If you enjoy improving at SC2 then that's great too! What you should be thinking about is different ways you could improve or things you know you aren't as good at. If you like getting better at things, then keep trying to get better at them. Just don't worry about how good you are, because it doesn't matter at all right now.

The younger the better.
You might not be able to reach GM at age 13, but someone who starts playing at 13 has an arguably greater long term potential than someone who starts playing at 18.

I just turned 14 and am top masters zerg.

I was a pro FPS player when i was 11 so no I don't think it matters. Just practice, watch streams/VOD, and watch replays when you lose to figure out your errors and you will improve rapidly. You technically have an advantage as time goes on because you can develop some nasty muscle memory.

just because you may or may not have a disadvantage for being young doesnt mean you wont get any better until you are older. if you practice seriously, you will see improvement no matter how young you are.
also being silver after 2 months of playing isnt bad by any means. people get better at different rates, and as long as you keep practicing, theres no definite reason you wont continue to improve over time.

Silly thread.14-year old Maru is a Code S terran and Flash won a starleague at 15. Just practice.
edit: not to mention, 12-year old NajzMajs is a master terran on EU
|
Coincidene? I don't know for sure but I'm gonna say no just because Stephano was pretty damn good at war3 when he was 12-14 years old (I don't remember exact age).
Would it be better for you to quit? How would we know? Do what you want, don't come to TL and ask if it's ok for you to play or not, lol.

He got coaching from CatZ, so I don't think it's the same thing.

yep... decision making because your young is a poor argument... You can learn it. You dont need previous life experiences to say spending all those resources on a specific plan was a bad idea. Just need to learn from your mistakes and get it together.
The age factor only comes in with learning the ability to learn what works best for you, but that can be learned at any age.
I won my first tournament around 18 years ago and started competing in 1993... I am 25 now.

There is a 11year old master player in my devision in masters so it doesn't matter how old you are. You can play video games from 1 to 99 doesn't matter how old you are. You will improve by practicing so i think starting early is good.
|
Turned 14 for not so long ago, placed high diamond on EU and high masters on NA (ikr ^^). If you keep playing you will become better, doesnt matter how old you are. Since were young we dont have as much shit as other people do so we got more time to practice and become better...
