You mean the team that is now self made as Astralis or at least the same core 3, they have that new IGL +1 other who has made a large difference for them. They were always amazing but somehow had a kind of stage fright or nerves in the final stages of a contest, I believe thats still there but they are more flexible and accepting of themselves perhaps and somehow got past it. I heard they have hired a team therapist to talk through any anxiety which is probably a first in CS.
So age is not the biggest of factors, its other elements but it is a factor that contributes and they have to account for it and perhaps train more so to rely less on raw talent as they progress. Since the team has always been so orderly, I dont see age is going to stop them. VP managed to be lethal right up until the end with members over 30, the thing to note was the volatility of results and they could let it slip and go hero to zero and back again. To me they became dangerous to bet on, great if the odds saw them as underdogs because they never were and gold does not rust. But any bet was with much caution as VP eventually lost cohesion; still one of the greatest teams ever as will Astralis be.
No, not dignitas as the team name, the players of dignitas. Forest, getright, friberg, xist and so forth, that team in general is awesome, those players are some epic legends of the game and I know they are a bit older now and I know they are not what they used to be, however can you really tell me they can't be as good as any other team on a good day?So age is not the biggest of factors, its other elements but it is a factor that contributes and they have to account for it and perhaps train more so to rely less on raw talent as they progress.

I don't know the history of Dignitas honestly, I don't know who they had or what they have achieved etc, I only watched these players before and I remember them being amazing so I am simply rooting for them again because they are around my age and not some teenager that usually ends up winning. I would still bet them if they are anywhere around 2.5+ odds, in any game whatsoever, in smaller games even more so.
What about you, guys? Are you bearish or bullish right now?
. The only team I am following right now is Dignitas because those were the players that I got into CS:GO, they were really supreme at their time and I do not believe in this "the older you get the worse you get" thing in gaming, I mean sure that is true for many sports because let's be honest that is physical and not many people can be healthy into their 40's enough to play well.
