The everyday life of an e-athlete

E-athletes work hard and their everyday lives require strict organization. As swb.de reports, the day often begins with administrative tasks such as answering emails, planning social media activities and checking sponsorship requests. An important part of their preparation are daily team meetings in which strategies and game tactics for upcoming matches are discussed. These meetings are usually led by the team's coach or captain before the actual training begins.

During team training, test games are held against other teams in order to try out new strategies and prepare for upcoming opponents. At the same time, esports athletes also need to promote their brand by giving interviews and producing content for social media. Commitment to sponsors is an indispensable part of their career, which underlines the level of professionalism in this scene.
