The brain of a 13 year old is less developed than that of an adult. only in certain ways. there are a lot of things that children learn much more easily than adults. there are even certain mental activities where you peak when you're in your early 20's (music/math/chess), and people who are like 13-15 can compete with grown adults who have been working at those things for many years. this reaction just mainly comes from our educational system which encourages this view that children are somehow stupider versions of adults. | ||

Anyways, we should really be looking at KR anyways, because the other servers are significantly easier to get to GM. My guess would probably be the younger pros, most likely someone like Maru?

Because as far as I know, being a young skilled chess player, being a young and skilled musician, being a young and skilled scholar -- all are looked at as incredible talent. We liken StarCraft to chess on crack all the time. How does someone's age not matter in starcraft? There are factors like focus, maturity, discipline, ability to learn from your mistakes, ability to repeat a build consistently, ability to make strategic decisions based on your opponent, positional strategy, coordination of your fingers to what your brain is telling them to do, etc. These are no menial tasks. | ||

I feel that you said that without actually reading what people said, in a similar fashion that standard media say that violent games cause mass shooting. You may think it's linked, but there's nothing to support your claims. Edit : Shit, I fed the troll, sorry >< | ||
