THE TOLL OF ESPORTS
With the growing popularity of Esports, being a pro player is becoming even more exhausting both physically and mentally. They dreamed of achieving Esports glory, then their bodies broke down.
The stage is different, the sport is
different but the mentality and
sport of competition is the same.
Esports is becoming more diverse for both male and females of all ages. It’s an activity that anyone can get into because its not reliant on your physical attributes.
Compared to traditional sports it’s a very low impact activity but might be one of the most harmful activities to do.The average pro player career ranges from up to 3-5 years.
