Esports World Cup Pavilion Champions Gamers' Mental Health

At the 2025 Esports World Cup in Riyadh, a unique pavilion titled 'LAg' is putting the spotlight on an often-overlooked aspect of gaming—mental well-being. Moving beyond screens and controllers, the pavilion invites visitors to explore the emotional and psychological side of esports. Created by students from Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University, the initiative gives new meaning to the term 'lag.' Traditionally used to describe slow internet connections, here it becomes an acronym for Let Anxiety Go —a call for emotional release and mental clarity. The experience is designed to be both immersive and introspective. Through the VR Mood experience, guests step into the emotional world of gamers by wearing virtual reality headsets that simulate the stress and excitement of high-stakes play, promoting greater empathy and understanding. To support players directly, the pavilion offers free, on-demand psychological consultations. With just a quick online booking, tournament participants can connect with licensed sports psychologists for private, pressure-free conversations. Visitors can also take the interactive 'Matchy' test, which identifies their personality type and suggests World Cup game titles tailored to their traits. This playful tool blends fun with self-awareness, turning game recommendations into a personalized discovery journey.
