Hey Aluxers, in this Industry Wednesdays video we are taking a look at eSports! Do you think esports should be considered a sport? Make sure to join www.alux.com Richest Gaming Companies: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJTVlmt8l7iCba8&

[@sebastianfeuerstein9306]

Alux.com Yes, I consider it a sport. Please do the Music Industry next time, Thank you Alux.

[@alux]

Thank you, we agree aswell, it should be considered a sport. Regarding your request, we will be covering a lot of industries!

[@RafaelMarcF22]

With the exception of the Visa I see no advantage in making it a "real sport". What about Olympics? Well. With the exception of South Korea and China (who are on the verge of taking the reign from SK), no country would be able to produce a competitive team. The competition is regionally based after all. Is it a real sport? Well.. Darts, Snooker and Chess are. Heck, even Curling has not really a physical aspect to it. You also might open pandoras box. F.e. should you allow gaming versions of real sports (NFL, NHL, NBA, Fifa, Martial arts...)? If you allow Heartstone, what about Magic the Gathering? I would say: fuck it. If anything make an esports olympic festival (some gaming conventions are already similar to it anyways).

[@alux]

You have an interesting point. Classifying esports as a "sport" will most likely make the advertisers less afraid to invest in the industry but there really is no tangible advantage besides that. The traditional media will push back no matter what. We do consider however that not giving esports players the same benefits as traditional athletes have, just because "they are not playing a real sport" is pretty dumb. Regarding the Olympics, we agree, we can't see a place for esports in that particular competition but not because it doesn't meet the standards but because it's way too different.

[@TheOneAboveAllx]

Yes it's a sport.....at last all sports are show business at their core and this is a great show!!

HI ALUX.COM, I would love it if you make a video about the MLM (Multy Level Marketing / Network Marketing) Industry next Wenesday. It is secretive yet quite popular so that people get 2 know about its cons and "pros" thanx a lot!

[@ShaynePatton]

When the competition is good & the stakes are high, you definitely have a raised heart rate & will break out into a sweat. Definitely a sport.

[@dragonnispvp1594]

you actually can sweat alot playing a game! But where sports test the body, esports test the mind. Times are changing. Video games are very good for the mind alot of people dont think its an actual sport because you dont run around and potential hurt you are yourself, you wont be breaking your bones and cause bad physical damage playing a video game, just get exercise and give you eyes a break now and then and its already safer than sports

[@John-zt8ju]

Chess, Go and other boardgames have professional tournaments and passionate players. ESport is just a futuristic extension of that exploration of passion. It is in a sense... "Mental Athletics" .

[@alexthepanda771]

I did my 9th grade school presentation on esports, got a 100%, they said they were gonna use my presentation as an example for later years, so i got rid of all the evidence i had done the project :D

Yes Esports should be recognized as a real sport. The best organization to talk to on that particular level of athleticism would be optic gaming. Just look up the green wall. It's the Call of Duty esport. But during other Esports as well but Call of Duty is the main did they play
