there are many reasons. and there are many to. make up your own mind. made for minds. the digital world is the big winner in this pandemic watching from online shopping education live streaming the internet is growing stronger lockdowns of forced firms

into digitizing and it's giving us newfound freedoms like flexible work and the chance to keep in contact with family and friends on a different level. but it all comes at a price the 2 faces of digitalisation topic today are made well it's game over for a number of top level e sports professionals the so-called athletes have hit on an incredibly lucrative business opportunity over the past few years which we've reported on before but this young stars have also found out all those hours in front of a screen and the global pressures of the entertainment sector can become a health hazard. reports. dreaming is fast becoming it go to activity to relax and socialize can escape from the pressures of everyday life. this is me hanging out with some friends there's no way any of us could make it to the professional level what's jump again at x.

but for a growing number of people playing video games is providing a golden ticket to fame fortune and legions of fans. the sports has moved into a $1000000000.00 industry tempting young game as all around the world to pursue a shot at the big time but what price when you look at the stats of today's professional players the average retirement age is between just 23 and 25 years old . physical and mental burnout is a growing problem for professional sports players it's not something that's widely acknowledged within the industry players a finally starting to speak out and cools the change. better known as. if you're gaining fan you'll already know who he is born in sweden playing professionally since the age of 20. legend widely regarded as one of the best counterstrike global offensive players in history. 2015 he helped power his former

team fanatic to world number one and was awarded the title of most valuable player . well and i've been gaming my whole life of course i loved it but there was also some kind of escape you could just. escape in another world and you don't have to think about anything else but just the game and i think that's something that i really enjoyed but following a wrist injury in 2016 the pressures of real life and a grueling competition schedule started to become overwhelming and everything now is just a low figure and it's a lot for tournament a lot more pressure like normally when it's not corona we will travel oak ridge travel like 2 on a plus days a year if not more and it's kind of stressful for your mind because you always have something where you have to perform at one of those times for some. people analyzing what you did wrong and everybody has so many opinions in 2017 he took

a short leave of absence to to personal reasons i just couldn't sleep good i was just thinking about the game 247 and like being stressed almost every day at all times on earth came back refreshed but then in may of 2020 shocking his fans he announced in a tweet that he'll be taking an extended break from professional gaming due to fatigue strain on his mental health and knack of motivation to compete it's so hard because if you see a team playing 8 hours a day that are better than you they want to play mind i was today because you want to beat the right stuff and it just keeps going like that then you have like 12 hours practice just like 5 hours individually and you keep doing that for every day i don't think it can be good for you with the cut of a pandemic adding even more pressure to train around the clock a number of the best players in east for to or announce career breaks this year citing burnout and stress. medical professionals in the gaming industry have been

concerned for years about the health impacts of overtraining sleep deprivation and players taking unregulated energy supplements we're seeing so much burnout we unfortunately had a couple deaths in the community this year people need to be addressing the mental health people and to be addressing the physical health of these athletes or or or scenery professions are any a lot of the reasons are we're pushing these gamers well beyond how far we should be pushing anyone let alone an 18 year old kid and we're not giving them the correct support you know gaming is a pastime in sports as a career and with so much money at stake professional gaming teams like excel e sports starting to make more holistic changes to safeguard the health of that player as we are doing blood tests we're having nutrition companies supporting us you know working out we're focusing on sleep with a trick of say using an m.b.a.

my name is head of performance of my status and it's really quite surreal that i have to tell the players to play less if people have a burden or have issues they're just getting replaced and in my point of view the organization is responsible or mainly responsible why is this effete has this large started a growing number of top e-sports teams are starting to build support for their players health into that contract providing team houses and personal chefs fitness and performance coaches physios and mental health training but industry wide and for smaller teams don't have many official regulations that are actively safeguarding professional players they are sleeping too that they're having not a structure at all they go to bed at 3 at 5 pm they are not having enough sunlight they're looking at vitamin d. they're normally don't have a cook so the nutrition is really bad in football for example be off to a cut. means and we have coaches and so on any sports there's no coaching no sense

yet and the end it's nice to be successful not a lot of money but it's a really really disgusted when a person is 25 or 30 and has to stop what they are doing because it's really a healthy for them and they have lifetime issues with. one of my state is now back playing professionally again with his team phase but the road to recovery has been a challenging one i've been working out a lot more and tried to eat a lot more healthy think that helps me there are a lot more players are a lot more stress than they would like to admit to the public without people saying anything in the schedule will just be the same and it's not good for people so he supports is still a very new industry but as the tournament's in the prize money get bigger protecting young professionals from physical and mental burnout is going to become an important challenge. the pandemic has bankrupted
