The Enemy of E-sports Players
In recent years, the global e-sports industry has developed rapidly. According to the forecast of the market research organization Newzoo, the global e-sports industry revenue will reach 1.1 billion US dollars this year. The income of professional e-sports players continue to increase, making it an ideal career for countless teenagers who like to play games.
Although they beat many opponents in the e-sports world, but the “Final Boss” is their health.
Uzi, a well-known 24-year-old e-sports player, has announced his retirement in 2020 due to type 2 diabetes and severe hand injuries.
The average retirement age in professional gaming circles is 24 years old.
E-sports players are most likely to be injured in their hands and eyes. Players need to practice repeatedly. Under high-intensity training, injuries will naturally accumulate over time. Coupled with factors such as stress accumulation, irregular eating, and staying overnight, it is naturally harmful to the players’ physical and mental health.
In view of this, the professional e-sports club now also arranges team doctors to help e-sports players with nutritional management, treatment and psychological counseling, hoping to extend their careers.
The importance of establishing a healthy concept is an important part of the long-term development of the e-sports industry.
