One of the most important elements in E-sports is playing games. This course will revolve around that issue.

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 explore and understand transferable skills related to game play, such as data analysis and reading your opponent. Additionally, you will learn how to use project management and event management skills to plan and run events.

The course will be divided into different modules, most with a practical approach. Tasks will often be practical in nature and the course will also include training sessions and tutoring sessions in different games.
