<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the influence of emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and depression on the performance of eSports players in Yogyakarta. The rapid growth of the eSports industry has created a highly competitive environment that exposes professional and semi-professional players to significant psychological pressures. Using a quantitative research approach with multiple linear regression analysis, data were collected from 100 eSports players in Yogyakarta through a questionnaire. The results show that emotional exhaustion did not significantly affect player performance (t = 1.685, p = 0.095), while anxiety (t = 4.351, p = 0.000) and depression (t = 6.859, p = 0.000) each had a significant positive effect on performance. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly influenced performance with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.826, indicating that 82.6% of performance variation was explained by these three psychological variables. Depression emerged as the most dominant predictor (Beta = 0.481). These findings suggest that psychological factors play a critical role in shaping eSports player performance and that team management should integrate mental health monitoring programs to maintain player well-being and optimize competitive performance.]]>
