What effect does ageing have on your abilities to play video games at a compeditive level?

Is there a certain age when you start to lose your ability? How fast does it deteriorate?

I'm getting better and better. I think I remember someone saying that you can't even be that good at BW unless you're 17. I'm starting to believe it!

Once you get older you realize that spending 50 hours a week playing video games isnt the healthiest thing in the world to do...........

Age will only give you benefits. However, in practicality, when your older you don't wante to waste more than a few hours (per week) of your precious free time on games like SC. I can't speak for everyone, but that was the case for me and everyone I knew who played SC and WC too.

i agree, to some extent it probably has to do with the fact that u just don't have time when you're older to play video games, so by that fact ur aptitude will drop as u get older aka start working having a family and all
