Been struggling to get into masters ever since... been very close sometimes, but i never made it above mid/high diamond (in 2on2 i've been master most seasons, but that doesn't count imo  ). Funny thing is, i've been diamond ever since Beta... i have some Wc3 and also Broodwar background, so i guess i had a little advantage in the start. At least i could "keep up" with diamond ever since, even thou i have limited practice time. Reasons have been told here already i think. Ofc i cannot practice anymore like when i was 17yo... i got a job, a fiance and bought a house recently... kids are hopefully coming soon too  ... and i guess your reflexes and multitasking are also not getting better with times :DIf someone wants to see my struggles, i sometimes stream (especially on weekends): http://de.twitch.tv/noorgrintv I would be happy about some more subscribers | ||

Went to a DreamHack! I'm sure there are many people in Masters/GM that are older. For people around student age (15-18) when the first StarCraft came out, they'll now be 30-33. I'm sure the people that are towards the older age of the spectrum of players will continue to get older (as is wont to happen). Some may stay on! Who knows, WhiteRa may actually hit 50 in 15 years and still be playing. | ||

I am a few months shy of 30 (/sadface) and in masters. I don't play often, but occasionally I put a few hardcore weeks in and have no problem going up to high masters. It does take a couple of weeks though, as after a month or two of just playing team games I get really bad :p I have the distinct advantage of being a hardcore aoe player who spent a few years putting in 40 hour weeks. In my opinion it really just comes down to how much time you can dedicate to improving, and most of the skill is transferable between games. | ||

I am just sometimes gold sometimes platinum - I used to put my "age" as an excuse, but I come to realize that I am just lazy to practice effectively (which might be a symptom of the age anyway). | ||

And like a few people say, its not that older player cant do it as good as the young, it just most older people have other life commitment (work, wife, kids, etc.) that they cannot just shoved aside to improved at starcraft (like high school :p) | ||
