Esports photography is harder than it looks, because the sport is mostly people sitting still. The moment worth having is almost never the input - it is the reaction a half-second after it.
Venues rarely help. Rooms are dark, screens are the brightest thing in frame, and the light that makes a stage look good on stream is the light that makes a photograph difficult.
The approach here leans into it rather than fighting it: hard colour, deep shadow, and the screen used as a light source instead of an obstacle.
