Betway Insights has teamed up with Canadian pro-gamer Tim “The Barbaric gent” Cho to provide some top tips on becoming a professional esports player.

Whether it’s playing Fortnite, Apex Legends or Call of Duty, esports is a rapidly growing industry with a global audience of over 450 million people.

If you’re good enough, there’s the potential to earn big money playing video games. The top prize at the Overwatch League this year was $1.1 million, while the winner of last year’s Fortnite World Cup took home $3 million.

So, how do you become a professional esports player? Here are Barbaric Gent’s five top tips:

The Path to Becoming a Pro

Becoming a professional gamer isn’t easy. While it’s true that the life of a pro player is filled with excitement and perks, the path to becoming one is often long and difficult. If you’re interested in becoming a professional gamer, here are a few things you need to know.

First and foremost, becoming a professional gamer takes an immense amount of skill. There are millions of people who play video games recreationally, but only a small percentage of those players are good enough to compete at the highest levels. If you want to become a pro player, you need to be among the best of the best.

In addition to skill, becoming a professional gamer also requires dedication and hard work. Pros spend countless hours practicing and honing their craft. They also have to be continually learning new strategies and keeping up with the ever-changing landscape of the competitive gaming world.

Another important factor in becoming a professional gamer is having the right mindset. Pros need to be incredibly mentally tough. They have to be able to handle disappointment and setbacks, and they must always maintain a positive attitude in order to succeed.

Finally, it’s also important to have some luck on your side when trying to become a professional gamer. While hard work and dedication are important, there’s no guarantee that you’ll make it to the top even if you have those things. Sometimes, it simply comes down to being in the right place at the right time.

If you’re interested in becoming a professional gamer, keep all of these things in mind. It won’t be easy, but if you work hard and stay dedicated, you just might make it to the top!

The Different Roles in a Team

Not everyone can be a star player. In most sports, there are different positions that players can fill, each with their own set of responsibilities. The same is true in esports. Players usually fall into one of several categories: carry, midlaner, offlaner, support, or jungler.

The carry is the star player on the team. They’re the ones who get the most kills and are usually responsible for leading the team to victory. The midlaner is the second-most important player on the team. They don’t get as many kills as the carry, but they provide essential support and often have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.

The offlaner is responsible for “farming”—that is, killing creeps (computer-controlled characters) to earn gold and experience points. They often have to do this in difficult or dangerous situations, so it’s not an easy job. The support is responsible for helping other players—healing them when they’re injured, buying them items they need, and providing other kinds of assistance. Finally, the jungler roams around the map killing neutral creeps to help his team gain an advantage.

The Different Tournaments and Leagues

Tournaments and leagues are how pro gamers make their money — very few are able to generate enough of an audience for sponsorships or advertisements to be a viable income stream. The largest and most well-known tournament is The International, hosted by Valve Corporation for its Dota 2 game. In 2019, the prize pool reached over 34 million dollars, making it the largest single payout in esports history. Other large tournaments with prize pools in the millions of dollars are hosted by Blizzard Entertainment for its games Overwatch and Hearthstone, as well as Epic Games for its game Fortnite.

To be invited to compete in these tournaments, gamers first have to qualify through smaller tournaments called qualifiers or LANs (local area networks). The path to becoming a professional gamer is not an easy one — it requires dedicating countless hours to practicing, as well asoutstanding reflexes and strategic thinking.

The Different Games

Just like traditional sports, there are many different games within the world of competitive gaming. The most popular games tend to be first person shooters (FPS), real-time strategy (RTS), fighting and multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA). Some examples of popular esports games are Counter Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, Dota 2 and Overwatch.

The best way to become a pro player is to start playing one of these popular games at a young age. If you’re not a teenager anymore, don’t worry – it’s never too late to start playing video games competitively! The important thing is that you practice and develop your skills as much as possible.

Conclusion

The road to becoming a professional esports player is not an easy one. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. However, if you are willing to put in the time and effort, it can be a very rewarding experience. There are many different ways to become a pro esports player, so find the path that best suits your skills and goals. With a little luck and a lot of practice, you could one day find yourself playing in front of millions of fans around the world.
