Esports is sports but Esports becoming an Olympic Sports is for me a no no, Esports is big enough to stand on its own, it doesnt need to be classified as an Olympic sports but rather it should be classified as its own. I think xD. Thats just my take on it.

[@fennyfendric3080]

i appreciate how openminded some of them were with it but i feel it wasnt propperly explained to them, they should have shown more of the scaling and the difficulties with it. by showing them low level play and letting them know further about how hard it is to get to that degree of skill

[@jivvr]

More like ROG

[@Drako_RS]

i think esports is 100% a sport, why? you need to have good reflexes, a strategy, excellent hand - eye coordination and you need hours and hours of practice and preperation for a big game. does it need to be in the olympics? no. i always compare esports with chess (it is very different i know), a sport that requires brain and hand usage vs other sports like football, tennis, etc... chess isn't in the olympics either.

[@czadcv371]

I think esports are a sports, but diffrent class of sport. Football, running etc. is 1st class, and esport is second

[@sirwillburt5919]

They are not conventional sports thus the name esports

[@themajormagers]

the Olympics were made as a sort of mock battle to keep the nations from getting into real fights. as warfare has evolved to the point that we fly drones around to shoot missiles I think that esports has a compelling case to be included in the Olympics. At least the sports that have to do with high reflex or strategic planning.

[@Drako_RS]

@@themajormagers in my personal opinion i think the olympics should stay "physical" sports only. because most major esports games you need strategic planning and reflexes (LoL, Dota, COD, overwatch, etc (these are just the well knows ones, i know there are more)) so if they would do like you said and only include these types of games, than you need to include min. 3-5 games at that point. i do think they should make a "esports" type of olympic, like different Esports games played in a single arena. this way i think esports will get a better name across the people that look down upon esports or just don't know it

If you can't count esports among other sports how does someone count Golf, or Chess?

[@CallOfDoobieSmokeOps]

Rick Martinez Golf includes actual physical exercise. Idk bout chess though. Esports does not.

[@darudemanastorm123]

Try micro managing 10 clicks/s in Starcraft for 30 minutes straight and then tell me it's not physical exercise.

I absolutelly agree. The problem with video games is they're OWNED by companies, while traditional sports aren't. That's something to think about.

A sport does not require athleticism. It only needs competition. As long as a person wants to prove he/she is the best, no matter what playing field you are in, it will always be a sport.

[@BadgerLomitah]

Chess is a sport. Sure does take a lot to pick up that chess piece... ESports is just as much a sport

[@GoNmanne11]

I do agree that it is a sport, but it should not be in the Olympics.

[@NecoLumi]

Seconded. As far as I'm aware, the Olympics doesn't have chess, because it doesn't require extreme physical labor. Same with Videogames, being in the olympics is ridiculous.

[@cccrit]

Ya, the olympics are about the glory of the human body. I love esports but don't think they belong in the olympics, many sports aren't in there either.

[@GoNmanne11]

John IsPro yea, that would be awesome.

[@EZVideoStore]

GoNmanne11 I agree to gaming need brain so if they let sports that need brain such as chess into olympings it wouldn't be only athletical
