FROM PASSION TO PROFESSION
A career as an esports athlete usually begins and ends much earlier in comparison to other professional sport related careers. Due to the the reflexes required to react in time to constant high pressure scenarios and strategies, most gamers have would ideally turn pro at the age of 17 and eventually reach their peak by their mid twenties. The foundations for a successful career as a professional eSports athlete therefore lay in one’s youth. If someone wants to get to the top of their game, proper guidance and training needs to start early on.
