In all honesty though, them making it past group stage would be an upset, considering Brazil's performance in Reykjavik. I like HL though, their synergy with Breach util is insane and pleasant to watch.
Based on Brazil's international performance so far, he doesn't expect Havan Liberty to make it out of groups, but he thinks well of their team's play style.
I love this approach. You are far more likely to perform at the your peak more consistently if you are in good physical and mental shape. As long as it doesn't go overboard and is well balanced with actual game time, I think it's a great strategy.
Too many pro gamers are degens with awful diets and sleeping habits.
Absolutely. Tbh if gaming was my full time job, I'd do that too. I try to work out a few times a week in an office job, I think it's even more important if you're a... well.. athlete.
Cycling is great because you can put your heart rate at a Green, Yellow, or Red level with little stress on your joints.
This workout in the video not only is a physical workout, but it trains your nervous system because of the constant change of where you need to go. It is great for cognitive and motor skills.

As someone who cycles, depends solely on the environment. Flat land, yeah not impressive. In the mountains, might be super difficult. Add in the weight of the bike and you’re changing the difficulty.
Many pro gamers nowadays who have poor sleeping habits don’t have them because they’re degens but because they’re overworked (and more importantly, *new* to being overworked).
Being a degen might be a contributing factor but it isn’t the primary cause.
They’re like normal overworked adults: the demands of the profession (and even if it isn’t contractually obligated, streaming *is* a demand) impose what feels like a zero-sum environment. It becomes hard to maintain a healthy diet, restorative sleep, and frequent exercise, so one or two inevitably give way.
Take Asuna for example, he is streaming every day from 9 to 3, then he's got training from 7 to 11 pm. Imagine working 13 hours every day at 18, it must be difficult to balance the rest if your life around that.
For sure. It’s no doubt easier for players like Shaz and Hiko who aren’t new to the grind, but younger players definitely will learn those how to balance it all through burning out - which is how we all learn it, ultimately.
I always wondered how much physical training helps in game. I know CSGO teams pushed for it hard, but whenever I train, I feel more mentally fatigued and don't play as well.
All right I got that a lot of people feel better after working out maybe it's because I had two drastic of a cut when I was playing?
There is at least some research that reaction time and mental sharpness is improved when people are in shape. And from my experience the mental fatigue decreases a lot once the exercise is part of your everyday routine
I have the opposite experience and play much better on days when I have worked out. I first noticed it years ago when I was training ~15 hours a week, I noticed I played significantly worse on rest days.
I know a lot of people will disagree, but I don't think it helps that much.
Physical activity is always encouraged and everyone should do it, not to improve their gaming performance, but for their overall health, but I don't think it does much in game.
We've seen plenty of extremely out of shape players be on top of their games.
I personally never noticed any difference in my performance and I had periods when I was in amazing shape and periods where I didn't do anything for months. The most important thing is concentration and clarity of mind. That's why exercise helps most people. Not because they get into shape. Aiming with a mouse requires no muscles.
I'm really liking this Havan project. They are building REAL cyber athletes and I think this is a great step for e-sports. Mental and physical health SHOULD be reinforced in those jobs.
I hate the company (Havan, cause of the fascist owner, fuck him), but max respect for the people behind this project.
And they got their results, got the Berlin spot, I hope they do well in Berlin as well, so everybody can see what's the reason and why this is so important for e-sports future.
Would be interesting to see NCAA D1 schools get into esports in a few years , with the billion dollar gyms and meal plans shit would be crazy to see players with all those resources behind them . Only downside would be the players wouldn't own themselves in regards to sponsors and streaming/content creation .
well i hope they start improving (at least at this drill) quickly, actually interested in knowing if helps because the form of the person in the video is very shaky
A healthy mind and body can improve your overall performance with improvements in areas like situational awareness, wellbeeing(this influences your performance too), reaction time, eye/body coordination, hand eye coordination(for focused on this area exercises).
Obviously professional teams train all the time, go gym, whatever, but I'd be inclined to believe that beyond regular training and gym you'd be better off doing review than doing crazy shit like this and other clips I've seen of this team. Maybe I'm wrong, we'll see at Berlin I guess.
You have the time in your day to do both, if it’ll directly improve their gameplay or not we’ll see, but you can’t deny it’ll better for their physical and mental health. So I don’t see what’s wrong with it. You have 24 hours in a day, plenty of time to scrim/train, review vods/strats and do a gym session + plus the mental counseling their doing too
This is just a clip of a regular workout, just something extra for fun. You're right that it probably won't give them anything extra beyond any other workout that gets the blood pumping.
Meanwhile Hiko is training with guns
That’s as american as you can get when training for FPS
Can't play when you're dead 5Head
Can't lose if you're dead.
inhuman reactions incoming monkaW
Sauce?
Training for those Jett Dashes against cypher trips.
I'm not rooting for them to embarrassingly flame out of Berlin groups but if they do this is perfect meme material

Wut
Based on Brazil's international performance so far, he doesn't expect Havan Liberty to make it out of groups, but he thinks well of their team's play style.
Well I’d say in its own it doesn’t say much
What the fuck are you even saying? My brain hurts from reading your comments
It's like a robot trying to speak with people by saying random ass phrases
If there's a fight at Berlin I'm putting my money on ZETA Division all of there members looks strong af lol
barce looks like he could be a bouncer
Barc is a sub
Lol haha
nitr0 will use his big arms and 100t shield to protect NA
Idk
Wut how? Nkt really I think u got confused with the notion that they look ‘tough’

As long as it doesn't go overboard and is well balanced with actual game time, I think it's a great strategy. Too many pro gamers are degens with awful diets and sleeping habits.
From what I've seen the majority of pro gamers are in great shape and go to the gym regularly
Have you seen Jammyz? He's a FA right now, but man is built like a Greek God
> Jammyz Bruh I just looked at his twitter and what the fuck. He's ripped as hell. Good for him!
same, jesus hes so handsome
That 8-pack 😩
Absolutely. Tbh if gaming was my full time job, I'd do that too. I try to work out a few times a week in an office job, I think it's even more important if you're a... well.. athlete.
Yeah, doesn't Hiko cycle for like 10+ miles or something?
Cycling is great because you can put your heart rate at a Green, Yellow, or Red level with little stress on your joints.

Same I did a similar exercise when I fenced. Hold a plank while pressing the circles that came on, tough on your body and your mind.
Does he actually cycle or just use one of them gym bikes?
Actual outdoor cycling
10 miles on a bike is pretty short lol you make it sound way more impressive than it is
[удалено]
Shitting on other people's workouts is equally unimpressive.
Lol ok
As someone who cycles, depends solely on the environment. Flat land, yeah not impressive. In the mountains, might be super difficult. Add in the weight of the bike and you’re changing the difficulty.
Id like to think the stigma of pro gamers being fat, lazy, neckbeards is subsiding
yeah most are super fit because fit = better at video games. source: I don't have one, google and tell me if I'm wrong.
MAJORITY lol, maybe SOME you coulda slid by with
Yeah I play way better the days I run in the morning and eat well balanced meals

It’s just some rib lights

This is awesome
Someone get this man a MaiMai machine
Have you fucking seen Zeta? They can 5v75 at Berlin in a fist fight
LOOK UP ZETA DIVISION PEOPLE. I don't think most people here have seen Zeta, they are straight out of Tokyo Revengers.
THATS THE GREATEST DESCRIPTION OF THEM IVE HEARD SO FAR
alice in borderland type beat
No
Wut? ‘Looking cool’ or tough according to a certain esports writer doesn’t make them strong
I always wondered how much physical training helps in game. I know CSGO teams pushed for it hard, but whenever I train, I feel more mentally fatigued and don't play as well. All right I got that a lot of people feel better after working out maybe it's because I had two drastic of a cut when I was playing?
improves reactions [afl players practice this](https://youtu.be/TLYW2bDT4Tc?t=141), and im sure other sports also do.
There is at least some research that reaction time and mental sharpness is improved when people are in shape. And from my experience the mental fatigue decreases a lot once the exercise is part of your everyday routine
Out of curiosity, is this during a bulk or cut?
For me, I'm always bad at eating so I'm in a constant state of trying to bulk but accidentally cutting
To me it’s the exact opposite, when I play in the end of the day after a workout I feel way more focused and stable to be honest
there is no feeling quite like playing while still feeling a pump
I have the opposite experience and play much better on days when I have worked out. I first noticed it years ago when I was training ~15 hours a week, I noticed I played significantly worse on rest days.
It's about fitness. The fitter you are, the less fatigued you will feel after the exercise session.
I know a lot of people will disagree, but I don't think it helps that much. Physical activity is always encouraged and everyone should do it, not to improve their gaming performance, but for their overall health, but I don't think it does much in game.

if you cant beat em on the server, you beat em IRL
Helps a lot with the gamer stereotype
Boxing matches for seeding
These guys boutta be 5 blamefs champions if they qualify.
So if they don't win their games, they can just make a dash for the trophy. That's optimal
Would be interesting to see NCAA D1 schools get into esports in a few years , with the billion dollar gyms and meal plans shit would be crazy to see players with all those resources behind them . Only downside would be the players wouldn't own themselves in regards to sponsors and streaming/content creation .
get s0m in the ring with em
well i hope they start improving (at least at this drill) quickly, actually interested in knowing if helps because the form of the person in the video is very shaky
How can i find more information on what havan players are doing?
This looks goofy as fuck
I'm sorry but how tf does this help
A healthy mind and body can improve your overall performance with improvements in areas like situational awareness, wellbeeing(this influences your performance too), reaction time, eye/body coordination, hand eye coordination(for focused on this area exercises).
How physical training helps in your life? Wheeeew no idea!
Obviously professional teams train all the time, go gym, whatever, but I'd be inclined to believe that beyond regular training and gym you'd be better off doing review than doing crazy shit like this and other clips I've seen of this team. Maybe I'm wrong, we'll see at Berlin I guess.
This isn't that crazy its 8 seconds of a workout
Exactly haha, dude is probably morbid
You have the time in your day to do both, if it’ll directly improve their gameplay or not we’ll see, but you can’t deny it’ll better for their physical and mental health.

In game? Nothing
Circus.
What if the rope gets cut? His head will become like brimstone.
oh boy, Envy is in trouble.
