We saw eSports contestants’ game faces on TV, we saw them discuss and try to win the game, but do you know what they’re really like off the screen? G!VOICE gained access to the Gama Bears’ private life. We will show you how these three teams were made up. Are you curious? Let’s read on!
24hr Exclusive Spot Checks on eSports Players
9am-10am: Getting up and Going to the Office
Players of Gama Bears currently live in the dormitory situated at a clean and quiet community not far from the company. G!VOICE conducted a random spot check on the players room, but surprisingly found out that their rooms were exceptionally clean. Moreover, the coaches’ rooms were too good to be true!
10am-11am: A Day’s Plan Starts in the Early Morning
Morning Roll Call
For eSports players, a regular daily routine is very important. This is how they stay sharp reflex and clear judgement and therefore the members of Gama Bears have to be in the company by 10am. If they fail to make it during the roll call, well, they’re on their own…
PE Class that Train the Bodies
The players not only need to have healthy psychological state but good physical strength. Another important part of Gama Bears’ life is PE class! Every Tuesday and Thursday morning is the particpants’ physical training time, including from aerobic stamina training to muscular training. For these players who sit on the chairs all day, appropriate training time is necessary!
11am-12pm: Warm Up Practice
From the moment they enter the company till noon, there are usually two hours time. As trivial as this time slot may seem, players of any of these games need to use this time to conduct simple personal training. For example, SCII’s players will challenge other advanced players online. This is usually the time when the overseas players are actively online and therefore it is easier to find them.
12pm-1pm: Lunch Break!
Nothing is more important than having your stomach filled .Everyone knows Gamania has a fantastic staff restaurant—gama island! Players who want to squeeze more time to practice may occasionally have lunch at gama island. In addition, it also provides desserts and afternoon tea etc.
1pm-3pm: Cultivate Team Spirit—Team Training
After the simple warm up in the morning, everyone gets into the mode. The focus in the afternoon is the team raining. Different game has different characteristics, so they have different training methods. KR focuses on the training of ‘chasing’ and ‘team’s tacit understanding’. SF emphasizes on spot maneuver simulation. SCII carries on the ‘battle net stairs practice’ from the morning. This is primarily because SCII’s battle mode is 1 on 1. However, they would also share their experiences during the break time or watch team mates fight in the battle and discuss afterwards.
3pm-5pm: Spirit is Still up, Let the Fight Begin: Real Battle Maneuver
After the morning practice, the players have invigorated their brain cells. Now it’s the prime time for their fight energy. The real battle training takes place during this time. Each team will be paired up with other professional or amateur teams to practice, with the help of the coaches or assistants. They would exam the new strategy or adjusted method to see if they could be employed in the battle.
The player spelt out Gama Bears Win on his keyboards. He even put a sticker of a trophy to remind himself the goal constantly.
5pm-6pm: Perfecting Skills & Strategy Sharing Post Battle Discussion
After the real battle practice in the previous time, now everyone would use this time to conduct team discussion to see what they could learn or improve from the battle. They would share their thoughts and strategies and hope that the next battle would be even more perfect.
6pm-7pm: Entertainment After Dinner
Sometimes there might be some sudden ‘contingencies’ happening during the dinner time of Gama Bears. This time G!VOICE witnessed Sakugetsu and SJ’s birthday event. Cream was flying about everywhere and cake pieces turned into grenades, no one went easy on anyone! G!VOICE reporter risked the chance of being attacked and documented these irrational and utterly out of control bestial footage!
Birthday Battle
7pm-9pm: Another Golden Period for Team Practice and Online Live Broadcasting
7pm to 9pm is another peak time for professional teams. Apart from the actual competition time, generally everyone would conduct ‘real time drill’ in this period. Players would choose this time to conduct online live stream so that students could watch it in the evening after they go home from schools. The players would make the competition or the process of practice public for fans to watch and sometimes they even have more direct interactions with them. Currently the players in SCII broadcast their practice/competition live, so if you’re interested, be sure to find their channels and tune in!
9pm~: Rest is For a Better Tomorrow
You see the work of these players is not as easy as you thought. They need to handle emotional stress and they practice day and night just to win the games. For players to gain appropriate rest, there is no internet access in the dorm. If they need to use the internet, they must borrow it from the coaches in their rooms. Players normally go to bed early after returning to the dorm. This is how they end their compact daily routines!
Bonus Scoop: Entertainment Outside of Games
You must be curious about what these players do for fun besides playing games. Well, in addition to playing basketballs, going to the movies, G!VOICE also discovered Winnie’s amazing talent. Winnie sings exceptionally well, let’s hear it!
