what studies have you conducted to examine overtraining in e-sports? Can you outline the parameters of the study you set up to make these observations?

Koreans can train those hours and benefit because of the infrastructure around them that takes care of many of their needs. Fitting in 12 hours a day, while having to cook your own meals, and generally take care of yourself and getting enough sleep to avoid burnout would be pretty damn difficult without that supporting infrastructure.

In terms of physical terms, I would imagine more > less, unless you are injuring yourself in doing so. The sheer muscle memory and ability to maintain a high useful APM are things that you will gain from consistently playing a LOT of games.

It's the mental/psychological aspect of training that intrigues me. I look at TLO who focused on making a schedule that aims to prevent this and he seems to be benefiting from it.
