The document proposes an eSports academy that aims to provide a healthy alternative to the intense lifestyles of professional eSports players. It notes that most players currently spend 15-18 hours a day gaming and many abuse drugs, leading to early retirement around age 25. The academy would offer coaching from psychologists and veteran players, focusing on team training, data-driven methods, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle without long gaming sessions or drug use. It seeks to help talented teenagers and students improve their skills while avoiding the pitfalls of the pro scene.
