Players peak at 20 not because of something inherent to esports, it’s because of the pay scale.

Players make millions in their 20s in sports.

Esports players eventually lose their justification for grinding over time for current pay. They get significant others, their priorities change and move on when they decide its not worth it.
The players that great money trend older just like sports. There are many pro esports players over 30 still at the top level.

It’s def more grey than sports but that’s bc of lack of structure and an immature business model/pay scale.

As the model is solved and players can sustain high pay the same way they can in sports the avg age of a pro will increase. It can eventually line up with sports maybe peaking out in early 30s, which gives plenty of room for collegiate to be P2P

At least thats my 2 cents

I haven’t heard about any LCS/Americas format information, but I will say it now:

The success of FlyQuest and the @LCSOfficial teams was in a large part from LCS moving to Best of 3’s - So if I hear of any returns to Bo1’s for next year I will consider that a clear step back.

Unfortunately I was impacted by this. Honestly in shock and don't know how to feel other than a combination of sad and terrified in this moment.

I guess if anyone knows of any esports, project management, or product lead roles available hit me up.

[westrice @westrice]
