@overwatchleague teams have amazing support infrastructures to help their players manage those schedules and be at their best on game day. It’s not really any different than basketball. You should come check it out.4 replies 0 retweets 77 likes -
How often does the game change ? How much time is required to adapt and perfect as a team after a change ? And do all teams globally approach practice time the same? I'm far from OWL smart , but look at the Brigite change The NBA doesn't make meta changes mid season

I love the Overwatch League and I think these guys are doing the best so far of any league, but the reality is that teams are practice 12-14 hours a day for 6 days a week. I would say the majority are doing this.

That's how guys burnout. IMO they last longer now because the money has improved and the teams are more proactive and professional. But working 70hrs a week in season when you can quickly lose your spot is super stressful

Just one example: https://www.inverse.com/article/45170-shanghai-dragons-train-14-hours-a-day … I will say, the OWL and the folks behind it are always improving and has always been open to input.
