>>42868682You really are naive if you think a grown ass player is going to go easy on a kid when they’re playing for money. It’s a game, and it’s turn based, but you are timed on your inputs, and gathering team info over a Bo3 is a little different than grinding ladder mindlessly. If there were no age divisions, no children would be successful or want to play. Even if they did, how many parents would let their kids come to the neckbeard convention to mingle all day one on one unsupervised?
