Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread
I play CS2 and watch a bit of it but I don't know about him. 
Anyway, age plays an important part for esports professionals. But I think that it's different with dota 2, in CS2, no matter how old the players are, it's true that they can still cook inside the game but reflexes decreases.
In Dota 2, most of the players that are quite old already have been performing poorly but that's still fine as they can switch to support roles.
G2 and Faze ended in 5th-6th.

I have been watching CS professional tournaments for so many years. There is no way people like me wouldn't know about XANTARES. He played for BIG as well. There are many memes related to him on the internet too.
I understand you of course if you don't watch too much. Anyway yes, the biggest problem is that. Aging affects most players very badly. Only some special players can still stand strong for longer than usual. Like Faker example in League of Legends.
IMHO, the esports community has grown bigger and wider and it's not about to stop anytime soon.
Anyway, as for Faker, I knew him but not really about xantares. However, there's this player IGN in the pro scene of DOTA 2 as ANTARES for sure that there could be a connection or antares was a fan boy of xantares.
