I am above 30 as well and I see two issues
- I am getting slower. If you look at people in the age of 70 it becomes obvious that people get slower as they age. At some age, you reach your peak. And that peak is for sure below 30. So have to compensate for your physical decay with brain power or mental experience. And as with every sport, that works for some time, as the mental peak for a RTS like CoH should be above 30. I hope!
- the other issue for people above 30 is probably the availability of lots of free time to play.
but anyhow, if you only get pleasure from beating the best in the world, that is tough
