Vol.3, No.1D

Abstract

The growth of technology has resulted in many things. People's lives are made either simpler or more complicated. The introduction of online gaming over the internet, which has become addictive and one of the most popular leisure activities among many people, particularly teenagers, is one of the outcomes of this growth. This study focused on the Students of Bestlink College of the Philippines, who are being asked to transition from traditional education to distance learning due to the coronavirus outbreak. Distance learning is difficult, especially with the rise of online gaming, notably Mobile Legends, which appears to divide a gamer's focus. The study found that playing Mobile Legends significantly impacted study time, particularly when they were on a losing streak.
