We want to ensure that athletes are given the support they need during this difficult time and throughout their career.“

AYO.NEWS says:

There’s no doubt about it, 2020 has been challenging for most people in terms of mental health, with the COVID-19 crisis putting unprecedented pressures on people in many aspects of their lives. 

For esports talent, maintaining focus and perspective, while under pressure to perform, and lacking the normal physical events and interactions, it’s crucial to have professional support right now, so it’s great to see Prodigy Agency and Gscience stepping up.
