The experience will provide a better indication of the path ahead, and you’ll be able to judge if the pro player journey aligns with your personal goals and motivations. Before investing too much time learning the nuts and bolts of a specific game, spend some time lurking on forums and other places where players congregate. You’re going to be playing it a lot.Īs much as pro gaming is about individual talent, it’s also about the culture surrounding the game. Our advice is to try a few out and stick with the one you truly love. That said, there's also a risk that a game's competitive scene will fail to thrive, at which point you may have to pick a new game.

Founding players of games like Rocket League 2 and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, 3 for instance, have found themselves propelled to the center of the Esports stage. When a game is up and coming, players have an opportunity to help excavate the game and advance the meta, which tends to be more volatile and accommodating of different play styles at the outset. The downside is that they are tougher scenes for newcomers to break into. Longstanding Esports titles like League of Legends, Dota 2, and CounterStrike: Global Offensive ( CS:GO) have large, dedicated player bases and, by extension, sponsored tournaments with lucrative prizes. The value of picking a game that’s established as an Esport is that the infrastructure and resources are already in place to support pro gaming. There are two schools of thought here: either pick a game that’s up-and-coming or go with a well-established game. Loving the game will make a world of difference during daily practice as you gradually acquire the skills to turn pro.

Players who are motivated by cash, fame, and quick success, on the other hand, will likely burn out before ever turning pro. In the long run, positive motivations are what keeps players engaged. The love of competition, the satisfaction of growing as a player, and the sense of contributing to a team and community are all valid reasons to play.
