I'm 21 and I secretly want to be a fn pro but I know that if I go back to playing 6+ hours everyday, I wouldn't do well at work, id spend less time with my family, and my health would take a massive hit. It's just not worth it.

Looking at the fighting game community, the pros there are pretty old but the reaction time is still there, especially for these games.

[MrNota]

I remember when people played games to just have fun. When you start thinking about crap like this it makes it feel like a job and the fun is gone.

[DestinysJesus]

I like how the first example in this video is from the only Fortnite Dad currently earning in Solo Cups

[DeadSideDad]

I’m 42!! I’ll never stop trying to get better. I love this game and will probably be the last one on the battle bus! Love your content sir and watching comp. Never to old for gaming! 😂

[PookyFN]

“And that was OCE so it doesn’t count” nah Reiss did OCE dirty 💀💀💀

Maintaining a lead at 18+ when you are at the top, nothing left to prove and all that money to enjoy and other things to do, while talented teens in their thousands with nothing but time on their hands are drooling in front of their screens for 10 hours a day wishing they were the guy on top, completely hungry and consumed by the idea of being the best, that's a tough position to be in and no wonder these best players come and go so quickly.

As an older player that started back in ch1 s3 at 31 years old, I've never thought of going pro. I've just tried to to better each day and get more exposure to better players. I have seen my progress explode over the 6 years of playing, but I need to hone my game sense/edit speed. Great content as always @Reisshub

The feedback I wanna give on this video is that if you are a young 18 year old kid aspiring to be a great Fortnite player, don’t stop just bc he said statically it won’t work . If the world ran on statistics then people like mj and lebron wouldn’t even exist ! Dream big

Meanwhile Raglarak Is Still Clapping 14 Years old "Pros" at 39 years old 💀

[GabeCFN]

my reaction time only got better with time. i’m 25 now

[MrSzoSs]

I think most things described to genetics and age factors have minimal impact on performance, the main cause is the emotional stress that comes with growing up and society pressures which you described that take hours of training away. It's nice to see someone your age talking about this and it adds credibility. Also idk about fortnite but pro players don't make their money only from tournament winnings, in others games it's only a small portion when you're in a good org

[AdrictoTDT-Twitch]

Thank you so much, I've been working really hard the last months to go pro, I'm 30 training at least 4 hours everyday and this is really helpful besides inspiring me and giving me hope

[christopherhindle]

It's not reaction TIME that matters, it's the reaction QUALITY that matters. Experience matters!

Also, older players are usually able to get better internet connections, better equipment, and such.

[theyearoldgamer]

thanks for thoroughly explaining why it’s taken so long for me to get better at this incredibly difficult game 😂 you’re the best, reiss!

[williambulitta]

Hey Reisshub, been watching your videos because of how thought provoking and broad the topics you cover are. Your dedication to you craft is very commendable and I can tell that it has been paying off. Just curious what software you use to design, animate and render the graphs that you referenced in this video. Also how did you edit the numbers at 2:29?

[glennrudolph]

I have professional caliber look-do latency and I am 37. The problem is that is takes me 2 seconds to remember which button does what…

As someone who started 2 months ago with 100 pr currently at 18 years old, this was quite motivating. I feel as though my skill is slightly plateauing though it is more probably that it is simply a decreasing rate of improvement. Not age related :)

I just turned 18 and I started placing well when I turned 17 but just quit with about 1K pr a year later, let's just imagine this, when you start playing fortnite it's usually on a console which sucks to compete on, next you might get a slow pc at 15-16 yo and only when I turned 17 and got a job was I able to afford a pc with a 3070 to run the game well. Now I turn 18 and I'm studying engineering in uni working 2 jobs and have no spare time. I love the game and was ranked top 50 in my country for a while but it's just not worth persuing even though there is nothing I love more than playing fortnite I have 12000 hours played on the game and still love it but chose to quit because of my mental health. and also from age 13-17 man grow in length and are skinny and agile. I'm 18 6ft and 80kg and growing in width, It is so much harder for me to move my arms which are 3 times the size they used to be over my mouse pad than a 13 year old.
