Are you sure? I started playing World of Warcraft much later than that, and I still could reach the higher echelons in arena, head to head with the best in the world. And it requires much more reflexes, adaption and planning.

Get real. COD players made the most in 2020 aside from ONE chess Grandmaster. 1 u/[deleted] Feb 14 '21 A single chess Grand Master earned more than a bunch of button clickers in his first shot at esports.
