“…Por el contrario, dentro de los aspectos negativos, distintos autores destacan las largas horas de práctica a los que están sujetos los gamers (6-12 horas diarias en función del videojuego), aunque no existe un método de entrenamiento que garantice un alto rendimiento en esports (García-Naveira, 2019;Pedraza-Ramirez, 2019;Sabtan et al, 2022). Además, diferentes estudios indican que a mayor dedicación a los esports y videojuegos se asocia con un peor estilo de vida y hábitos menos saludables, observándose una menor actividad física o mayor sedentarismo, aumento de la masa corporal, peor nutrición (horarios, variedad y cantidad de comida, así como consumo de bebidas) y menor duración/ calidad del sueño (somnolencia y variedad de horarios de descanso), desembocando en problemas de salud general (p.ej., obesidad y diabetes), salud física (p.ej., lesión de muñeca, espalda y visión) y salud psicológica (p.ej., ansiedad, estrés, depresión y burnout), entre otros (Bányai et al, 2019;Chan et al, 2022;García-Naveira et al, 2021;Hong, 2022;Pereira et al, 2022;Sabtan et al, 2022;Shulze et al, 2021).…”

“…Otro aspecto relacionado a cuidar es el impacto de la alta dedicación al videojuego sobre la salud mental o vulnerabilidad psicológica de los gamers, siendo un tema importante de estudio, ya que se ha observado que la alta exposición a los esports puede favorecer a la aparición de trastornos de la ansiedad, estrés, depresión y síndrome de burnout (Bányai et al, 2019;García-Naveira et al, 2021;Pereira et al, 2022;Shulze et al, 2021).…”

“…Además, se cumple parcialmente la hipótesis 2 (los gamers presentarán un estilo de vida y hábitos poco saludables). Estudios previos (Bányai et al, 2019;Bonilla et al, 2022;Chan et al, 2022;Hong, 2022;Pereira et al, 2022;Shulze et al, 2021), señalan que una alta dedicación a los esports se asocia con un peor estilo de vida y hábitos saludables (actividad física/ sedentarismo, nutrición y duración/ calidad del sueño), cuestiones que no confirman en su totalidad los datos. Se destaca la necesidad de que los gamers equilibren el entrenamiento y el compromiso con los esports con requisitos educativos más amplios, la necesidad de un modelo de desarrollo holístico que proporcione una mejor comprensión de las carreras profesionales y las necesidades de desarrollo de los gamers.…”

RESUMEN: Los esports, también conocido como videojuegos competitivos, han experimentado un gran crecimiento en los últimos años. Se han realizado varios estudios que examinan los beneficios de jugar a esports, pero pocos han examinado los factores psicosociales necesarios para rendir a un alto nivel y ante situaciones adversas de resultados en la competición. En este estudio, los investigadores intentan identificar fortalezas psicológicas y áreas de mejora de los gamers a través del análisis cualitativo de contenido. Se realizaron entrevistas con cinco gamers y un entrenador de un equipo profesional de Rainbow Six para estudiar sobre sus experiencias tras obtener 6 derrotas en 8 partidos durante la competición. Las entrevistas dieron como resultado tres factores principales: los estilos de vida y hábitos saludables, la autogestión emocional y desarrollo de equipos de alto rendimiento como áreas de mejora. Se concluye que los psicólogos/as en esports deben poder entrar en una relación de consultoría con los clubes para una mejor comprensión de lo que los gamers y entrenador específicamente necesitan desde una perspectiva de mejora del rendimiento y cuidado de la salud mental. PALABRAS CLAVES: autogestión emocional, procesos de equipo, estilos de vida y gamers Psychological factors and results crisis in a professional esports teamABSTRACT: Esports, also known as competitive video games, have seen tremendous growth in recent years. There have been several studies examining the benefits of playing esports, but few have examined the psychosocial factors necessary to perform at a high level and in the face of adverse competitive outcome situations. In this study, researchers try to identify gamers' psychological strengths and areas for improvement through qualitative content analysis. Interviews were conducted with five gamers and a coach from a professional Rainbow Six team to explore their experiences after getting 6 losses out of 8 matches during the competition. The interviews resulted in three main factors: healthy lifestyles and habits, emotional self-management and development of highperformance teams as areas for improvement. It is concluded that esports psychologists should be able to enter into a consulting relationship with clubs for a better understanding of what gamers and coaches specifically need from a performance improvement and mental health care perspective.

Farcana has developed a smart a gaming input device, that, apart from being a tool for the gamer to use in the process of gameplay, is also a suitable tool to collect biomedical information about the gamer, which after analysis by the artificial intelligence (AI) system allows informing the gamer about whether the individual is in a state of tilt. Tilt itself is a poor emotional state of the individual that appears due to the latter's inability to control one's emotions in the process of gameplay. The gamer can be either winning or losing, yet the fact that he/she can neither control nor even acknowledge the emotional state is tilt. The latter is an immense factor of impact on the overall success of the individual in the sphere of gaming and one's rating in cybersport. This paper has analyzed numerous studies and patents on the topic at hand. The available literature has provided the necessary insight on the topic of tilt and why it is important to help the gamer acknowledge one's state, especially given deteriorating results. Also, we have proposed a framework for the AI system for tilt recognition.
