Joining a tournament online is much easier than joining a live one, except for the simple matter of eye strain. One thing that you always need when you play at an online tournament, though, is focus. It’s easy to get distracted by the other things you can do. You can play a game, watch TV, browse the web – the distractions can be overwhelming. This is what you need to prepare yourself for. Make sure that your focus is on the game by putting your PC at a quiet, well-ventilated, and private spot inside the house. This ensures that comfort will not be an issue. Also, prepare your snacks, drinks, and other things you may need before you start playing. This way, you won’t need to leave your chair too often and you will lessen the risk of losing your concentration on the game.
