1. How to Become an eSportsman?
2. eSports is a team or individual multiplayer competition in online games, which in many countries is recognized as a sport. Online and offline tournaments have long been part of the culture of video games. Still, only since the late 2000s, they began to gain popularity due to the development of the Internet, multiplayer games and streaming services. Thanks to this, e-sports gradually became more professional from the amateur: with teams, tournaments, big cash prizes and, most importantly, millions of spectators.
3. I want to become an eSportsman, where do I start? First, you need to decide on the game that you will play. That is, you need to clearly understand where competition is easier, where there are more prizes, and move in this direction. Of course, you can simply choose a game that you like and try to become a cyber sportsman in it, but the fact is that cybersport itself is not yet developed so that you can play whatever you want. Therefore, it is better to look at Dota2, Counter-Strike, League of Legends and other popular games. After that, you need to determine the next steps. If the game is a team game, then you need to look for other players, if you are individual, then train in it, watch video lessons, maybe even find a mentor who knows more about the game and can tell you how to play correctly. Computer clubs used to be popular, playing there we learned from each other a little faster. On the Internet, on the one hand, this does not happen so fast, but on the other, there is the opportunity to play more.
4. Play as a team or alone? This is individual, someone starts playing solo, someone in a team of like-minded people. Similarly, in music, there are performers, and there are groups - so in e- sports. At the start of my career, it is better to choose a team game, it is more fun, and if you make a mistake somewhere, then some people will cover you. And in solo, it all depends only on the player himself, and the audience of such games is noticeably smaller.
5. How to find the first team and what professional teams look at? It is very simple. Now there is a huge number of platforms for finding teams, and in the games themselves, there is matchmaking. There you need to communicate, try to organize teams, watch which tournaments are held and slowly move forward. And in order to get into some good team, you must first declare yourself in the existing championship. Another option is to get into an eSports school - a direction that will now be actively developed by leading teams and organizations to grow eSportsmen.
