The likes of Cloud9, x-kom AGO, Magic Gaming, Seattle Surge and Vancouver Titans, Gen.G Esports, and GamersOrigin have entered deals with the aim of improving the mental and physical health of their players.

Daniel Herman, Founder and CEO of Bio-Synergy, also commented: “Having worked with [YouTuber turned boxer] KSI’s trainer in the past, we understand the importance of both mental and physical performance in esports. We look forward to working with LDN UTD and its community, and helping the League of Legends team to excel in the UKEL.”

Esports Insider says: Any added focus on player health is a good thing for esports as a whole. Putting health at the centre from the start of a player’s career should prolong esports careers and increase the level of competition. From a brand side, many organisations focused on health and performance in sports see esports as a place where health-based initiatives can have a big impact.
