Most of the guys that get called up are because they are noticed by pro players. Pro players also act as talent scouts
high school is too late. by that time the best of the best have already dropped out of school to play fortnite. you'll have more success looking at the middle schools.
If you're at the top of your profession why would you settle for inferior equipment or infrastructure? Its not like Lebron is getting his work outs in at Planet Fitness or getting his nutrition from Nutrisystem.
Well, Lebron and most pro athletes didn’t get to the league with nutritionists and personal trainers. These pro gamers prob couldn’t afford elite internet connections and equipment when they were coming up, yet they were competitive enough on inferior equipment/connections to reach those heights. But I hear ya.
between the well meaning jokes, the sarcastic posts, the "parents basements" and the actual posts, it gets a little hard to tell
Here's a pretty good read on the age of gamers. https://www.engadget.com/2020-03-09-the-esports-elders-defying-their-age.html It's not just "reaction time." That doesn't just disappear at a certain age. Like anything else, it varies significantly from person to person. And, it can be affected by practice/use: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/ency...ect of age,aging by staying physically active.
you're ruining what i tell myself about seemingly getting worse at a game i've played for almost 20 years
also i'm guessing one of the reasons the pro players skew younger is that the top teams make their players live together
Also I think the things that come with being “pro” take away from their ability to practice a game nearly 15 hours a day, which is why young people move past them because they have literally no other responsibilities to worry about outside of playing their game.
That and physically being able to recover from the mental fatigue of practicing 15 hours a day faster at 17 years old than at 30.
They take less money on their contracts, they're less likely to quit because of the insane grind, and have no kids or wives.
It's ok it makes up for them using the same controllers that come with a PlayStation and Xbox just like everyone else
I’ve developed arthritis in my hands from the repetitive stress injuries just from reading this thread
I have no idea what’s happening in here because the ugly fallout between SugarShaun and Shocker forever ruined FIFA and video games as a whole for me
Miracle is 23, GH/MC/w33 are 25, and Kuroky is 27 Sumail 21, Topson 22, MidOne 24, Saksa 25, NoTail 26 + ana 20, ceb 28 rtz 23, abed 19, ramzes 21, crit 23, fly 27 nisha is 19, zai 22, matumba 25, yapzor 25, puppey 30 etc etc any carry/anyone who has to use their hands is definitely young. pos 5s are the oldest people on the team, ordinarily, but still far from late 30s.
just going off the reaction by twitch something similar to what went down with Method Josh, sexual harassment/assault allegations/etc makes the most sense for a twitch and discord nuke. people putting a toonnnn of weight on razer and whoevers advertising going back up as it being something more benign could easily be wrong but if it was contractual it seems like Docs PR team would be trying to put out some of these fires
I thought people were showing that he was on discord all day yesterday? Or was it just a different discord he was on (meaning not his)
yeah I’m with you but I’m also one of the ones probably putting too much weight in sponsors coming back.
Yeah if this is gamer office politics or financial crimes I’m going to be bummed out. I’m looking for deviant sexual behavior at a minimum
