Like Kore said some are and some are not. There have been old gens who have came back in 2017 + and be some of the best players or really good players in EU/NA. Examples are Havoc, Windlife, Hellomoto, Zorkoth, Etc.

players like Haze came back for NWWC and is one of the most average players now, it not about when u started playing, if u have over 1k hours u have no excuse for being shit because after that many hours in a game if u haven't learnt how to play then u will never learn.

Which is why old gen players by logic are better. Even in 2013 you had time to play 1k hours and master the game completely like you can in 2019. Which means it comes to talent and being mechanically gifted to be faster than your opponent. But back in the old days there was far more players which means you have higher pool of talent then now.

Are we going to ignore the fact that in the Old vs New Gen 1v1 the New gens got smacked?!?!?!? Also Lawbringer being a older player I thought you would side with the old gens but guess not.

Those "old" gens re just overrated low shits who for some reasons think that they re still good at melee. Their stupid brain is stuck in year 2013 where if you knew chambering you were a god...
And who are you again?

True, old gen did win that gf and I was in it playing for Old Gens. I think however this is unrelated to what my actual claim is, which would be that on average, new gen players improve faster and have a higher skill ceiling than old gen players during their era.

That groupfight essentially, is not representative of the overall constituencies, as it was full of old gen players who continually played up until that point. Such a groupfighting would have been represented if we took the old gen players and threw in more retired ones during their skill of the old era, and pitted them against new gens in current era.

If you subtract all current old gen players from modern day or 1-2 years ago and pitted them against a 2013 team, they would likely win.

You go back to 2012-14 videos and no one can block or even has knowledge of groupfighting tactics.
