what im saying is if can a gamer be in his prime more than once or do you think its something else ?

You can be better at games at a older age because your smarter now than when you where a kid... however :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8014399

 

"This study analyzed auditory reaction time (RT) data from 1,265 community-dwelling volunteers (833 males and 432 females) who ranged in age from 17 to 96. Cross-sectional analyses revealed slowing of simple (SRT) and relatively greater slowing of disjunctive (DRT; aka "go-no-go") reaction time across decades for both males and females. Repeated testing within participants (longitudinal analyses) over eight years showed consistent slowing and increased variability with age. Males were faster than females cross age groups, RT tasks, and visits. Beginning at about age 20, RTs increased at a rate of approximately 0.5 msec/yr for SRT and 1.6 msec/yr for DRT. Errors also increased, making unlikely a tradeoff of accuracy for faster responses."

 

You also notice this in sports. However because alot of these sports are high on techniques, it first starts becomeing noticeable when your like 30.

In Esports and especially really twitch reactionary ones, like counterstrike, age plays a huge part.
