Roman Dvoryankin, former General Manager of Virtus.pro, shared his insights on the immense pressure faced by professional esports players. He emphasized that the mental health and stability of the team should be a top priority for management. According to Dvoryankin, it is often better for the organization’s leaders to take the brunt of community criticism and administrative stress, allowing the players to focus entirely on their performance and game strategy. This approach aims to create a protective bubble around the athletes, fostering an environment where they can compete at their highest level without being distracted by external negativity.
