I think people need to realize that if you want a long term career in esports, you will have to deal with the "grown up" stuff sooner or later. Love of the game and craft can take you far, but then there will eventually be reports, KPIs, quarterly goals, pitch decks, presentations, corporate meetings, weeks of pre production, post-mortems, public speaking engagements, evaluations, brand meetings, analytics, contracts, negotiations, accounting, legal documents, etc.
And these are more or less the same things that you'll encounter in any job, in any field.
