Will Chalk: 作为一名电子竞技的记者,我发现电子竞技选手们虽然在聚光灯下,但他们面临着巨大的压力和不确定性。他们需要面对职业生涯的短暂、收入的不稳定以及对未来的担忧。这让我开始思考,电子竞技的行业结构是否合理,是否能为这些选手提供更好的保障。 Unnamed Player: 作为一名电子竞技选手,我深感这个行业的残酷。你永远不知道明天会发生什么,可能随时被队伍抛弃。这种不安全感让我开始思考未来的出路,我甚至考虑过成为一名教师,去影响更多的孩子。 Archie: 我很早就进入了电子竞技行业,也赚到了一些钱。但是,我对金钱的看法也变得有些扭曲,觉得大额的收入才是正常的。这让我对未来的生活感到担忧,因为电子竞技的职业生涯很短暂,我需要为未来做好打算。 Slater Thomas: 我认为电子竞技选手应该积极创作内容,增加自己的收入来源。同时,我也在为自己的未来做规划,我希望能够成为一名教师,去帮助更多的学生。电子竞技的压力很大,收入也不稳定,我需要为自己寻找更多的可能性。 Jack Benton: 我认为电子竞技的资金运作存在问题,导致选手薪资虚高。这不利于行业的长期发展,也影响了粉丝对战队的忠诚度。我们需要建立更加合理的资金运作模式,为电子竞技的健康发展提供保障。 Vatira: 我很幸运能够赢得比赛,获得奖金。但是,金钱不会改变我的本性,我热爱游戏。我会继续努力,为我的梦想而奋斗。电子竞技的未来充满了挑战,但我相信只要我们热爱它,就一定能够克服困难。

We look at job security and long-term options for esports players after they hang up their controllers.

The industry is worth billions of dollars and players win big prizes, but many make more money as content makers, and plan to move away from esports long-term.

We head to an esports event in Birmingham UK to speak to professional gamers about their career prospects - and to young people who idolise these players and want to enter this field themselves.

Produced and presented by Will Chalk
