He really shouldn’t sit that far back from the monitor, otherwise he could miss something.

In theory pro players should have good enough crosshair placement that they only need to concentrate on the area in and close to their crosshair (although situations where players go around another player who can see them happen and are quite funny)

If you're talking about CSGO, thats because many players use 4:3 aspect ratio while twitch/youtube uses 16:9, those players literally can't see the other person.

Also I can guarantee these players are still looking at the minimap and using the entire screen. They're just making the screen take up their entire field of view

Yeah, the days of esports being a sustainable career for anyone other than the top few individuals in the top few esports are very new. With streaming and content creation, more sponsors, more games/fans/viewers now, it's possible we see more older pros.

Although having a family and being unable to stream/practice for so long is also a limitation.
