EnglishCourse contents
One of the most important elements in E-sports is playing games. This course will revolve around that issue. However, it is also important to understand how everything is connected from the setup of your computer to the teams you play in and how you distribute what you do. It is also important to be aware of the need for physical exercise as well as focus on nutrition and recreation.
This course is the first of five practice courses. The main focus in this course is to establish a basic knowledge of different games and how to utilize them in different contexts. The different tasks will evolve around the other courses in the semester and provide a practical approach to them. This course also includes playing games as well as providing training tips and arrange a tournament.
