Football players and other athletes are often forced to retire early because of physical injuries. It appears that e-sports also leads to injuries: lifestyle-related and mental ones.

China's most famous e-sports player, Jian Zihao, has officially retired from gaming aged 23, citing ill-health.

"As a result of staying up late for years, a fatty diet and being under insurmountable stress, last year I found out that I was type-2 diabetic."

He went on to say that he had changed his work schedule, exercised and "taken medicine", but that his situation had not changed.

"My mental state is not as good as it was before," he said.

"The doctor has told me that if I continue there could be serious complications. Thank you to my fans for your support and companionship all these years."
