The everyday life of an e-athlete

e-athletes work hard and their everyday life requires a strict organization. As reports swb.de, the day often begins with administrative tasks such as answering emails, planning social media activities and checking sponsor inquiries. An important part of their preparation are also daily team meetings in which strategies and game tactics for upcoming matches are discussed. These meetings are usually managed by the team's coach or captain before going into the actual training.

In team training, test games are carried out against other teams to try out new strategies and prepare for upcoming opponents. At the same time, e-athletes also have to promote their brands by giving interviews and producing content for social media. The commitment to sponsors is an indispensable part of their career, which underlines the level of professionalization in this scene.
