CS possesses a lot of talent with no age limit. And according to HLTV.org, this trend will continue at the upcoming StarLadder Major, which runs from August 28 to September 8.
The youngest team is Syman. Syman qualified from the CIS Minor, placing second and having an average player age of 20.4.
Since Syman has never been to a Major, it will be an extremely difficult tournament. In addition, with the youngest average age of all the teams, pressure as well as mentality will be a difficult barrier. However, we have also seen young talent who can rise up despite extreme pressure. For example, 18-year-old Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut is now considered the second best player in the world due to his athletic ability.
The Brazilian MIBR team has the oldest average age, 27.3. However, this increase is due to Marcelo “coldzera” David being dropped from the squad, and replaced by the team’s coach, Wilton “zews” Prado, now 31 years old.
However, zews is not the oldest player in the StarLadder Major. The title goes to FaZe Clan member Filip “NEO” Kubski, 32 years old. NEO was heavily criticized during his time with FaZe due to poor performance and weak IGL. With the rumor that coldzera is about to join FaZe to replace NEO, it seems that the old man will be seen off soon.
In contrast, compLexity player Owen “oBo” Schlatter is the youngest at this tournament, just 16 years old. Like Syman, this will be oBo’s first time attending a Major. We’ve seen 16-year-olds shine, like Markus “Kjaerbye” Kjærbye in 2014, oBo could follow in his footsteps.
