A friend of mine who’s been in esports for years shared how he planned his career. If you’re looking to go pro, here’s some advice:

1. Master the Basics: He always says that no matter how good you are, you need to understand the fundamentals of the game. Consistently improving your skills, even in areas you’re comfortable with, makes a huge difference.
2. Routine Is Key: It’s not all about hours of play. He has a routine that mixes practice, breaks, and rest days to avoid burnout. Staying consistent with this schedule keeps him sharp and ready for competitive play.
3. Network & Get Noticed: Esports is as much about who you know as it is about skill. My friend started by participating in smaller tournaments and engaging with the community, making connections that eventually led to big opportunities.
4. Invest in Your Setup: A big part of his success has been investing in the right equipment. He mentioned how having a portable monitor really helped him stay mobile during training or when traveling for tournaments. It’s super convenient for analyzing matches on the go without needing to rely on a bulky, stationary setup.
5. Mental Strength Matters: Keeping your mindset in check is just as important as physical reflexes. After losing a few matches, it’s easy to get frustrated, but staying focused and positive helps him bounce back quicker.

For anyone looking to take their esports career to the next level, it’s all about setting the right habits, using the right tools, and keeping your mental game strong. What are your tips for building a successful career in esports?

Does the wire you use to connect your keyboard to your PC affect its latency? If I used a cable from temu to connect my keyboard to my PC would the latency be the same as if I used a proper cable from amazon??

Dont use gg.bet if yall wanna bet on some esports games cuz the site is scam. Had a deposit which usually takes like seconds to come in and now its day 7 and their support is unresponsive and doesnt give any help other than a.i generated responses.

I’m wondering if anyone can explain to me why Overwatch 2 gets such a bad rap on the Esport scene. Nearly everyone I talk to, aside from Overwatch players, seems to consider it as a casual game and not really competitive in nature. Is this because of the formats and different objectives, or is because it requires less mechanical skill to play, or maybe some other reason?

Interested to see everyone's thoughts on the next big competitive shooter. I'm tired (and have been tired) of Valorant, CS, Siege, Overwatch, etc... I've played so much of these (mostly valorant and siege) across the last decade or so.

Would like something new and refreshing. Valorant is really tweakin out lately.

Zhu Hao, a young office worker, regularly checks into such hotels for weekend gaming marathons with friends.  Thousands of gamers across China are driving demand for these specialized hotels, which cater to groups eager to immerse themselves in games like League of Legends and PUBG Battlegrounds.

I'm writing a book and a central part of it revolves around a group of students partaking in an esports competition in their school.

I tried researching about it and it seems they do not match the information I need.

My novel is fictional and although it isn't fantasy, I made a little bit of worldbuilding around it. One of them is how their school operates esports.

Unlike clubs, where students could just join and be members on the spot. My esport recruitment requires passing certain skills or winning a best of five with a random group of other students. (Still working on it). Esport students also have ranking badges based on their achievements and wins.

And I'm not so sure how realistic that is, not that I'm worried about it being unrealistic because I'm fine with it. It's just a book with an imaginary esports organization. But as much as possible, I want it to be accurate and at least resemble actual esports events in real life. And I have no idea how it actually goes.

I do know some things like, students from this school compete with these students from this school. Or students from the same school competing with each other.

They even have couches which I'm not sure school esports provides. Anyway, anyone here with experience with school esports events provide a bit of help? Like do they separate students based on the game they're competing in or not? Is there such a thing as a substitute member on the team? For games like MOBA (say League of Legends) is the best of 5 a bit too long for thousands of students? For context, my characters won two games and then would compete again next week to determine the winner. Does pauses like that happen or does it usually happen in just a day?

This question might show how out of touch and out of the loop I've been for years, but I just found out the other day that Dreamhack Stockholm was this weekend. I don't have as much free time as I used to but I do this weekend, so I was excited to sit down and watch a good DOTA, SC2, or CS tournament. But when I looked it doesn't seem like there's any major esports tourneys happening at Stockholm this year? Just smaller open brack tourneys for the LAN attendees?

When did that change? I know the bubble burst years ago, and I haven't followed the scene religiously in probably 8 or 9 years, but I always thought Dreamhack was a staple for esports before the SC2 bubble and would be a staple after it. Obviously I know it's not like those glory days where every weekend was an MLG or an IEM or an IPL, but really? No big tourney at Dreamhack?

"Hey CS2 fans!
The recent game between Spirit and Passion UA was nothing short of wild. Seeing Spirit—a powerhouse—fall to a relatively unknown team left many of us scratching our heads. Here’s what stood out:

• Aggression on T-Side: Passion UA forced Spirit into reactive playstyles, especially during mid-game rounds.
• Economy Mismanagement: Spirit’s buy decisions in late-game rounds cost them critical momentum.
• Clutch Factor: Passion UA had moments of brilliance, like that insane ninja defuse 1v3 by jambo.

I’ve broken down these moments in my latest video with replays and tactical analysis. You can check it out here.

What do you think Spirit could’ve done better? And is Passion UA a team we should start taking seriously? Let’s discuss!"

Hey, I'm in the top 10% in Valo and I don't think that I get scouted by an org. I want to go pro, I'm currently 17 years old and my goal is to become pro when I'm 18, that's will be in a half year. I would say I'm good in Valo but, when I fail to become pro what will come next? I finished my school and I'm looking to become a job for next year and maybe when I got this job I won't be able to play alot. In my current situation I playe 5-8 hours a day, since I was 12. I put so much effort into my dream, but I struggle very hard with "what is when I never get pro" or "what is when I'm not going pro and don't have a job". So I'm young and need to make a decision. Should I still trying or should I look for a job?

The game that would make you go "ooh, impressive" if someone said they're a high rank in some game

Hey everyone, I’m on here bc I’m really interested in getting into esports Since my major is videogame based. The thing is that I myself never really play video games at least not competitive ones so for me it’s sometimes hard to understand how a competition or game works. I was wondering if you guys could recommend me what is the best to look for and also maybe how to easily find the rules of the game.
