If Usain Bolt would run 10 hours day, he wouldnt be able to make records at 30+ age, so likely issue is that progaming is not regulated enough and people break their arms and mental health by simply playing too much. | ||

MMA was such a cool person and a good player, this name will forever resonate in the heart of any sc2 fan. Will miss him very much and make sure to check his last roar at HSC. | ||

People dont retire at 25 in any real sports either, or formulas etc. In real sports, the competitors are really taken care of healthcare wise and they probably dont "play" as much as progamers do, so people burn themselves out so soon. If Usain Bolt would run 10 hours day, he wouldnt be able to make records at 30+ age, so likely issue is that progaming is not regulated enough and people break their arms and mental health by simply playing too much. Most(4, actually) Kespa teams have their own health-care system, including personal gym traning. | ||

There was few years ago some study where authors tried to prove that at 24 decline starts across all leagues, but it had big flaw where the subjects played less as they aged so it didnt prove anything. Also the data didnt really support it when observed more closely, the falloff of reaction times etc where not exactly something where good conclusions could have been made. | ||

Progamers' 10-year- career is not that short, tho it feels quite short in comparison to other sports. | ||

Progamers' 10-year- career is not that short, tho its quite in comparision of other sports. Likely it has more to do with that most players are not succesful enough, so they have to do something else with their life since mediocre pro gamer is not really good career choice yet compared to mediocre football player. When very succesful players retire, it might be because its hard to be best and since they have achieved so much already and its really stressfull to practise 10 hours day etc, retiring at high note or right after might sound good idea even if player might get second wind if continued. Esports is not developed enough, to really warrant staying on being pro gamer forever unless you are really winning everything everywhere. I believe flash very well had potential to be the best sc2 player. | ||
