As a result, various competitions followed by the eSports team with a total of extraordinary prizes were increasingly widespread. Apart from the lure of prizes totaling billions of rupiah, many people are not aware of what is needed for a player to become a professional eSports athlete.
One of the most important things you have to have is 'dilute brain' or smart. "The brain of the eSports athlete handles a lot of movement and decisions when playing in the game, if the brain is not 'runny' then they will have difficulty when competing," said the Principal of PSKD 1, Yohannes P Siagian that Tekno Liputan6.com met in Solo recently recently.
He also said, "Our eSports players are currently quite 'dilute' their brains, but they will be eroded by new players who are professionally trained through programs in school." The bespectacled man who is familiarly called Pak Jo explained, the old eSports players in the country will be defeated by new players not in terms of intelligence, but because of attitude.
"Right now the rising ones are third or fourth generation professional players, while many first and second generation pro players have problems with attitude, even though their abilities are good," he explained. "Like a soccer player, players who emerge from the nursery process at the club will be superior to non-players (between villages), unless he has an extraordinary talent," he continued.
ESports in Education
Furthermore, Mr. Jo revealed the impact of eSports on the world of education in Indonesia. As is well known, the PSKD SMA 1 he leads is one of the first schools to have an eSports education . He said, eSports does not mean it can make children who are not smart become smart, because by definition there are no children who are not smart.
"eSports has the ability to train cognitive aspects in the child's brain. The more deeply explored, the child will often use the brain side well and quickly make decisions. Also accustomed to thinking," he said. As an educator, Mr. Jo admitted that he often saw the big problems that hit children in Indonesia today. The problem is that children are now not used to thinking.
"Many children in Indonesia are not accustomed to thinking, and are used to being 'fed' by parents and teachers. This is the answer, this is what needs to be memorized, like that," he said. By training children to get to know and avoid eSports, they can develop in the world or in various other fields.
"Not only eSports, they will be able to take advantage of things that come from training and competing in other education fields, such as economics, law, and more," he added.
High School League 2018 Has an Important Role
Therefore, this kind of competition in 2018 High School League plays an important role in shaping the attitude and discipline of young eSports players in the country. Stevan as president of HSL 2018 said, "eSports is a sport of speed and intelligence in strategy, as well as concentration and reflexes that need to get excellent physical support."
He believes that the world of education is the right partner for eSports in looking for young seeds full of potential with good attitudes and behaviors that are ready to be relied upon to make Indonesia famous in the world. The plan, the 2018 High School League (HSL) will be held in eight cities in Indonesia, such as Jakarta, Bogor, Bandung, Solo, Surabaya, Malang, Medan and Makassar.
