"I think in a game between top players, having stable emotions is more important than other issues," said Xiaofeng 'Sky' Li in a column over on Fnatic.

"Most time the conditions and controls you have met several times in your practices, you don't need to think how to deal with them, and therefore, you keeping your emotions down will be the crucial factor, which will make you play more logically."

The article brings up some good points including why do eSports organisations not consider emotional training in order to toughen up the mental strength of their players. "Gamers are really no different than sports athletes. If an athlete gets heated about something in or out of the game it can certainly affect their performance," said Marcus "Djwheat" Graham.

"I recall many games in which individuals or entire teams would become too aggressive based on their emotions. This in turn caused them to make sloppy mistakes and ultimately lose games." To read the article in full click here.
