iQOO SouL’s manager Siddhant “Sid” Joshi recently announced a series of changes aimed at player’s well-being and ensuring the team’s optimal performance in the upcoming Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2024 event. With an unwavering commitment to fostering a healthy and sustainable gaming environment, Sid’s stated that the team will be limiting its play hours and will only appear in one tournament per day.

In a recent live stream, Sid announced that iQOO SouL has decided to make a few changes in order to improve the players’ overall well-being. He announced that the organization has implemented a strict limitation on gaming hours and will not play any tournament after 9 pm. “We have become very strict regarding what games to play and how to play them. BGIS 2024 is just around the corner, and we want to ensure that our players are more focused on this official event,” he added.

Sid explained that this step was taken to avoid exerting too much pressure on the player and to give them ample rest for the upcoming BGIS 2024. “We are trying not to exert too much pressure on them. We want them to play with ample rest and to livestream freely. We want to ensure that our players are healthy, happy, and not under any stress. Once the ongoing tournament concludes, we will return to the model where we only play one event per day,” he said.

Sid explained that it might look easy to play games all day, but in reality, it is tough. “You might not realize it and think that you only have to play the game for 9 to 12 hours, but that’s not how it works. So, we won’t be playing after 9 pm,” he said.

Sid Explains on the Challenges of Intensive Gaming Schedules

Sid pointed out that sustained periods of intensive gameplay, spanning 12 to 14 hours a day, inevitably lead to burnout. The consequences extend beyond mere exhaustion, impacting the longevity of a player’s career. “You can’t work for 12 to 14 hours per day. If you do anything for 12 to 14 hours, you will burn out. If your life expectancy for doing that work is 8 or 9 years, it will decrease; you won’t be able to do the same work for more than 4 to 5 years. So you have to relax a little,” he said.

“These kids’ ages are not such that they can bear this much mental pressure, physical pressure, pressure from fans, organization, and career pressure. So the management is fine with it as long as they are producing results, taking enough rest, maintaining their health, and ensuring their YouTube channels, careers, and finances are not affected,” Sid added.
