Kane99 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I imagine that most esports players play hours on end each day, much like any gamer who does nothing but game. But I think they do a lot more than that. Myself as a casual, couldn't handle the long hours of gaming esports players have to do these days. I imagine they are playing most of the day, probably streaming as that would be smart to do if you plan to train for long hours anyway. But, how many hours a day do you think they game to just train?

The Blackangel Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 That's honestly not something that ever crossed my mind. I would say they train 12 hours minimum. Like Super Smash Bros would take a ton of constant training to be at a competition level. Any random fighting game like Mortal Kombat would take a shitload of training as well. You can't just do it for an hour or two to reach competition level. To truly master a game, you have to play it several hours a day, and I assume for several years as well. Also I wonder, how does a person get into eSports to be a competitor? I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to that question anywhere. I may be doing a bad search, but I just can't find it.

When I game, I game for hours, but I'm by no means a pro gamer. That's a good question, because I don't know either lol. I assume they join or start their own teams. That's how I see the first teams starting up. But now I hear high schools across the US are starting their own esports teams, groups and clubs. So that may be how most get started these days. Wish I was more social, cause I think it'd be fun running an esports team. Just not playing on it. Edited November 27, 2021 by Kane99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-o Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 A lot more than we think. CSGO players do at least 10-12 hours per day, and if they ever take a break, should be a day off tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
