I am ALSO an immortal player.

A slightly bad reaction time can lose an entire game. When you're looking at pro games - where real money is on the line - you want the player who has the same decision making ability as other highly ranked players but ALSO the ability to react really quickly. Failed to disjoint a projectile in time? International lost. Didn't pop your BKB in time? International lost. Didn't hex a puck or ember fast enough? International lost.

Like, sure, again... you can go really far in dota with poor reaction speed. I'm 30, for example. But when it comes down to creating a five man team to compete for money then very few teams are going to pick up older players on the chance that they might not react fast enough. Old man fear was called old man fear for a reason.

Also, this makes me really curious about what the age composition is for immortal top 100s for each region. How many are there over the age of 30?
