week 8 : my recent wikipidia edits - ljhwa(이진화)

 As is the case with most sports, athletes often attain a status similar to that of celebrities. Esports, in particular, can be considered more accessible to the general public than other traditional sports, as many people can easily engage with and play the games themselves. As a result, more individuals are able to clearly recognize the players' skills, which naturally leads to admiration and acknowledgment of the players. Through this process, esports continues to sustain both revenue and public interest. Today, we explored the professional gamers who are central to this very process.

The range of career options available to retired pro gamers is extremely limited, and becoming an instructor is one of the few viable paths. If a player has had a particularly successful career, they may go on to become a coach or a team manager—but such opportunities are rare.

As the celebrity-like status of esports players is only now beginning to emerge, it raises the question of what kind of welfare or support systems teams—who essentially function as their agencies—can offer to retired players. For example, providing priority consideration for coaching positions within the team could be one possible form of support.
