I think gaming is taking a lot of toll on peoples body and mind I guess.

its not good to game for long and these esports require daily gaming training to be able to compete. Plus they say she endured a lot of abuse while playing the gaming sport.

Abuse is reasonable considering gaming community is toxic not just to women but to men as well. for example try playing with indonesia, philipines and malaysian users in mobile legends. worst trash talking community from those countries.
