Well one way younger players are better is in terms of reaction times.

I've see the odd older gamer on forums talking about how they sometimes have to play on an easier difficulty than they used to. Hopefully that doesn't happen as young as 50.

Reaction time starts going down when you hit 25. Say hello to us old farts over here. :P

 

I never aspired to be a pro gamer anyways, I couldn't care less if I'm a bad gamer, but there is a reason most po gamers are teens, other than 'they are the deographic that plays games most'. They have the best reaction times and that's what it comes down to in twitch based games.

Shit I'm 25 now. Looks like my best days are behind me. Luckily, I wasn't that good to begin with
