Hi there.

In this episode, we discuss how our emotions and mood state influence video gaming and esports performance. What can players do to win more games? I explain how do be more successful in-game, using the study results.

[DISCLAIMER]: The article is written for my weekly newsletter, and published on my website.

Hope you guys enjoy the piece.
Christian

Some interesting points to consider

I don't play competitively now but when I did (not as a pro, just for fun), I would often fall into the trap of losing, feeling frustrated and diving straight into the next game to try and dispel my frustration, only to play from a bad state and just lose again. It makes a lot of sense when you lay it out.

I guess we've all been there. Also, and I think is was not just the case for me, we want to end on a good note. Even if we lose 5 games in a row, we don't want to stop until we get a win; to prove to ourselves that are, indeed, good players. It gives us that piece of mind.

Best,
Christian
