THE COMPETITION

The qualifying window for the Olympic Esports series runs from March 1 to May 15. Both beginners and professionals are encouraged to participate and try their hand at possible Olympic glory. Then, from June 22-25, 2023, the Suntec Center in Singapore will host the finals during the Olympic Esports Week.

TIPS AND TRICKS

Esports may be considered less taxing than traditional physical sports, but the Olympic Committee suggests it is not.

They encourage participants to partake in “Practicing outside the pixels in Esports“, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being and developing a healthy lifestyle. Take a break from the gym.

As with all sports, it is important to have a plan, a goal and a schedule. Many professional eSport teams have fitness and nutrition coaches to ensure that players are in the best possible condition to train and prepare.

Not everyone can be an Olympian, but the 2023 qualifying season opened the field and gave many people to dream. Are you game?
