Contents

One of the most important elements in E-sports is playing games. This course will revolve around that issue. However, it is also important to understand how everything is connected from the setup of your computer to the teams you play in and how you distribute what you do. It is also important to be aware of the need for physical exercise as well as focus on nutrition and recreation.

This course is a continuation of E-sports 1 and gives further insight into the gaming world and how to optimize the experience both through the right hardware and focused training sessions. This course continues to put into practice elements that are discussed in other courses. The main focus of this course is to understand the position of E-sports in society and as a learning tool. We will also focus on the use of statistics and maps and why they are important elements to master.
