We’ve all said it or seen it online – a pro player being labeled “washed-up. It’s an expression that goes back to the 1920s, used to describe an individual who literally washed their hands after completing a job. But eventually, it became a way of criticizing perceived “has-beens” in show-business, sports and later esports.

What do you guys think? Are esports fans far too quick to cast players aside? Also, who are some other players that you think communities have wrongly labeled "washed"? Let us know what you think!
Really ? Toxjq is 35 and his tracking and reflexes are better than i ever was & ever will XD.. "not performing as well as i was before" is bullshit tbh
No bulldog reference ? Kekw
Fortnite is not real an esport ?? love this guy
I think one of the biggest problems is diary and making actualy real sport for fitness….a lot of esport gamers are not taking care to their body, sitting all day long not doing something else for the brain except gaming, not making real sport not eating healthy food and a lot such things….A human beeing needs a balanced life thats why astralis is the first cs go team ever went full professional even with all supporterd.
23 is realy young…there are a lot of older players
That moment when 9 year olds hear him say fortnite is not a esports
I thought it was goedon ramsey for abit
Playin 16 hrs a day still silver 1
That Matrix clip tho is so funny, "I know League of legends"
5:35 Swiggitty Swooty, I'm Coming For That Booty.
Sometimes it takes getting off what you are working on, and taking a break and just do a background think of what you need to do, to get yourself better.
I'm 30 now, and I feel like I am as good as I ever was. At least if you consider me having a job now. If I had the hours I used to play, I would be doing 360 no scopes all day. Now, just once or twice a day. Lol
maybe they dont perform every game the same, cause they are humans? and you gold nova kids spam, and listen to the chat when he gets an ace hes a god, when he just dies and the play doesnt work out, hes a bot. result oriented thinking is most of your guys problem.
0:57 "…mark my fucking words." LOL
4:08 lol fiddlesticks for outplay?
First rule: Don't touch my percocets. Second rule: Do you have any percocets?
Forest says otherwise

Not a fan of this host
old s1mple is just Gordon Ramsay
12:18 BRUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm surprised that Mark Cuban understood videogames
I mean retiring at 20 like Reginald seems a bit too much
i like this kinda bloopers thing you guys doing at the end. Its pretty funny and adds some homeliness to the video.
i like the vids and im subbed but the acting you guys do is soo cringe
Your videos are good but they could be great if you would stop trying to be funny, i have yet to laugh at a single joke that has been made on this channel.
That fucking Melty reference
That Matrix clip was top notch lol
Dimitri
It's a scientific name lol.
Yeah f0rest should retire just like Get_Left.
XD
2015 early esports? esports with big tournaments started in 1998 my friend. world cyber games for example was one of the first big international tournaments and afair the last wcg was in 2011? (big sponsor names, couple hundret k price pool bla bla bla)
2015 is maybe the year that YOU think is early but it really isnt.
Almost disliked because of the Iverson clip… srsly tho, not cool to use it like that
Dont like this commentator bad job
theScore esports formula: Add a csgo player to the thumbnail and make a controversial title so people think its directed towards them
you can't play a game at the same pro level forever .
Mine is already retired but he's still the best – Fatal1ty
Oh damn, you bring ONE old basketballer as counter argument… he is THE EXCEPTION! In most professionel sports, you also end your carreer before 25 or 30!!
i think there is this myth we have in gaming. where by the time you are 30 its too late to be good at anything when it comes to games. the nice thing about games, age only starts being a problem much later in life and even then with the right lifestyle you can keep reaction time and memory. being washed up is a state of mind and once it gets in your head you might as well quit
the thing with sports and why i think people can keep going at such a older age is enhancement drugs. Its defntley not all of them and not nearly the only factor but i think it is a thing to discuss about.
I enjoy the respect you give fighting games in this channel
I used to play from 8am till I go to sleep at around 3am every single day. My reaction time started slipping when I was around 24-25 and now my reaction time is around double what it use to be and after a hour of competitive play my wrist and fingers hurt. The docs also say I have knuckles like a 80 year old man caused from my gaming
