9 Benefits Of Playing Online Games, You Can Make Money!

Playing games is not always negative. You can also feel the positive benefits . Seriously!

"Don't play games too much, you'll become stupid!" Do you often hear this? Don't be sad. Although many people think that playing online games, especially Mobile Legends (ML) is useless and a waste of time, you can break this opinion. If you take it seriously, there are so many benefits of playing ML or another games that you can get.

Let's read this article and prove that there are also benefits of gaming for health as well as adding to your soft skills in everyday life.

1. Sharpens the Brain

Many people think that playing online games will damage your brain, make you sluggish, and make you unable to focus. But that's not always the case, bro! Playing ML can actually sharpen your brain. The reason is because ML is one type of Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game that requires all players to play by strategizing. You're also required to think about how to defend your tower from attacks while trying to destroy your enemies' tower. It's no wonder that this game keeps your brain sharp and makes you think critically. Positively, you can analyze various problems in everyday life.

2. Practice Patience

Playing online games does require a lot of patience and unfortunately not everyone has it. Especially those of you who like to get angry when you lose or when your teammates are mad! Just remember, you can't suddenly win easily. It takes strategy and patience to face all challenges.

3. Practice Communication

Almost all MOBA game genres require good communication skills. If not, you'll be playing this way, while others focus on this way. The game pattern can be chaotic and sorry to say, the potential for you to lose (and drop in rank) is even greater). Well, one of the benefits of playing ML is that it encourages you to communicate with each other. Strategies can be formed and your team's attack patterns can become more sophisticated!

4. Teamwork Training

Besides practicing communication, the benefit of playing ML is that it teaches you the importance of teamwork. If you have good communication, teamwork will automatically go smoothly. This also applies to your daily life. For example, when you have to do group work on campus or work with a team to achieve targets in the office. See, playing ML is not bad either, right?

5. Responsibility Training

Okay, what is your role when playing ML? Support? Hyper? Well, this role requires you to commit to carrying out 'tasks'. If you're Estes or Rafaela, don't just go around on your own without helping your teammates. One of the best MOBA games requires you to be responsible for choosing roles and working together to cut down opponents. Don't let you become a problem for other players.

6. Make New Friends

Another benefit of playing ML is that you can make new friends. If you play without a squad or don't play with others, you are guaranteed to meet random people. If you're unlucky, you'll meet a player who is a burden or toxic. If you're lucky, you can really follow this person and maybe be diligent with him! It doesn't rule out the possibility that you might even meet your crush!

7. Train Mechanic Reflexes

Believe it or not, playing Mobile Legends often can also train reflex motorics. Because when playing online games, you need to move your fingers quickly while looking at the screen simultaneously to attack enemies to win.

8. Making Money

This is the most sought-after one! Playing games is not just for fun, but it can also make money. There are now many gamers who are also YouTubers and Content Creators who focus on Mobile Legends. For example, there are Jess No Limit and Jonathan Liandi. The more viewers they have, the more money they make. Not only that, you can even get up to tens of millions of Rupiah per month. Wow, not bad at all, right! So, keep practicing your skills to become a pro player who can also create viral content!

9. Become an eSport Athlete  

If your gaming skills are already high or on par with pro players, you can really become an eSport athlete. Apart from being proud, eSport athletes who excel can also get prize money of up to billions of rupiah. Fun, right? There is already a lot of evidence of local eSport athletes winning various national or international level matches. In fact, during the Sea Games in Vietnam in 2021, there was an Indonesian eSport team that won a gold medal. If this is your dream, try to keep an eye on a series of Indonesian eSport teams that have become Mobile Legends tournament regulars. You can monitor their game from various important tournaments. Keep learning until you're good at it, bro. Just in case you get a glimpse of their team. 

So, from now on, don't underestimate the effects of playing ML or another online games. There are many benefits, right? Hopefully after this you maximize your abilities and can become a pro player!
