How many hours does an LCS player spend in LOL per year?

I was thinking about something I read on basketball elite players and how their bodies call it quits after about 650-700 hours played. I'm thinking if you do LOL 2 hours a night, you can hit that number in a year. This gets me to thinking, maybe LCS players have such a short career because they are spending too much time each year with ranked, promotional stuff for the sponsers, and LCS games and there's only so much wear and tear a person's hands can take along with the other pressures.

Does anyone have any hard numbers on this?

I know you all have Lyte who's a psychological doctor on hand, but has anyone considered bringing in an ergonomic specialist or hand doctor to study this sort of thing?

we are losing our pinky fingers according to evolution. But that could change over time with the advent of computer use now.

There was a guy in the LCS with something on his arms for carpal tunnel. I think it was a C9 member. I just wanna see where all these "professional players" end up 10yrs from now.

People don't grow out of Basketball or Baseball, But people do grow out / tired of League of Legends. No one is gonna go "Oh you're Piglet! I remember you... How you used to play Vayne! So Pro." , get my drift? Ahri
