Yeah, just like athletes, some people just have a genetic advantage. Like fast reflexes, precise finger movements, and good multitasking.
Are you talking cognitive function or understanding a games mechanics? Cognitive function declines with age and you have to do mental exercises as well as physical exercises to keep it working well. Mechanical skill in a game is just your understanding of the game itself and the knowledge required to compete in it. Multi glad wow rogue, cod wager match player, R6 Two time diamond, 1 time apex Pred 1 time apex diamond (apex solo Q) and plenty more to mention. I quit gaming several years back but I can tell you with age cognitive function definitely declines. It’s why most pro scenes have much younger players. It’s like anything else, practice matters. A kid with great reaction time won’t outplay a smart player with much more game experience most of the time. Positioning beats reaction time more often then not. It depends on the game of course. But I think people with a mid to low skill level don’t really understand the inner workings and actual skill required to play at a professional level. For instance, a kid who is amazing at cod would struggle horribly with LOL at a high level due to the fact that good cognitive function won’t outright beat a skilled player who uses proper macro and micro decision making. Genetics play a small role in your ability to play a game at a professional level as a result and your actual understanding of the game itself and how to use it to your advantage. All these “flicks and fast reaction times” can also be learned. Genetics is a flunky excuse in my opinion. If you can practice your way up to the big leagues and understand the game just as well as the other players and be on an even field. Then it breaks down to your ability to make quick decisions and see the bigger picture. If you can’t work as a team, you won’t succeed in most esport scenes. I used to be a huge nerd and loved gaming in high school. Feel free to disagree, i won’t be insulted. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
Quick edit: If you don’t spend copious amounts of hours in aim trainer and reaction trainers. You’re going to struggle against someone who has put in the work regardless of how mechanically skilled you are. >

This is true. >

Frankly, talent isn’t something you can work hard to achieve. You can be good in anything by working hard,  no doubt. But if you bring on the table a talented person works as hard as you… you got the point >

Your mom is mechanically skilled >

Your insults aren't skilled sadly :( >

Yes they are >

They're unoriginal >

...
Please tell me you're joking. You seriously aren't trying to insult me are you? >

I already did. Three times. >

With insults you're meant to hurt the person's feelings? Or you could see the funny side of this interaction and we could laugh it off >

You sound pretty hurt and under the guise of not being so. Sorry to hurt your feelings. >

My feelings are not hurt
I'm just a little disappointed that you didn't see the funny side
