[@Ackovs]

I've been playing and following League for 8 years now, and I come back to this video every once in a while. Every single time I end up crying. Even if the game is not perfect, even if the community is is really toxic, this was the game that made e-sports huge. League of Legends built on the foundation of CS and StarCraft, and built up a cultural background for gaming. And maybe it will not last forever, but the games to come and the companies to come will have League as a starting point, just like League had StarCraft and CounterStrike. And we, who happen to live in the age where e-sports is truly blooming can tell our grandchildren the stories of the sport of our generation, the sport that defined us, just like football defined the 20th century. And my friends, who read this, we can be proud that we live in an age where gaming is getting acknowledged. We can be proud that we are gamers. And we can thank Riot for taking e-sports to where it is now. Thank you for your time.

[@gus2550]

These videos always bring tears to my eyes. What the others see, is a bunch of young adults playing games instead of going outside and making friends at the local sport club. The truth is that these players made a gamble with their own life for something that was not populare then. They trained every single day to show to the world that esport is demanding and deserves to be on the stage. They used their passion as strength, and no one can take it from them. Not a stupid fake smiling presenter, nor a gatekeeping sport caster. It rings a bell with me, because my father always compared me to his best friend's son who is a sport addict. I was not like him, so that wasn't ok. Now thanks to these kind of videos, my father asks me what I play, and it is absolutely awesome. You guys are the reason why I love video games, and always will. Thank you.

[@milos84mj]

[@theunknownbeing7]

I agree. I loved watching soccer but it can't compete with games like LoL nowadays. Skill levels and talents are much more refined due to the lack of physical muscle fatigue in esports, and the fact that anyone no matter what age can get into esports just by playing it.

@@nickleh6515 It has the problem with definitions i think. In my language Norwegian we actually have two words, "idrett" and "sport", idrett is basically physical sports, while sports is a wider term just like the english version of it. So i think the confusion kinda boils down to lack of that distinction, where many people, especially older ones, use the physical sports definition of it, while in reality it's an umbrella term.

[@daydream10.18]

Humberto Azevedo

[@laxjoh]

Same I love video games too bro. And I love esports. I think you can call it a sport... but to call them athletes? I think that's where I draw the line. The thing is poker tournaments were aired on ESPN as well as ultimate frisbee. I mean I barely consider baseball a sport too but that's because I'm a fan of football, MMA. I watch a little Rugby and I like it but I just don't understand it too much. However if we're going by official definition, it's a competition/measure of skill in an official platform. Esports/league fulfills that criteria AND is heavily marketable. It gives kids an outlet instead of them going out and doing stupid shit/getting into trouble or trying drugs. Like if I was a pro athlete, I'd be like "Look I'm not telling people to sit in front of a computer for 15 hours a day and then worship them for it. I'm just saying this industry gives kids an outlet and a feeling of connectivity. Why bash it? It's profitable, marketable, and it's a decent outlet for kids to enjoy rather than turning to drugs or underage drinking. The answer is simple. Because jobs in sports are threatened by the rising industry of esports. If ESPN focused more on Esports because it was more profitable, half of these people talking in this video lose their jobs and they're one of the more SECURED positions in the industry.

I was having a bad morning until i watched this and made me realize how much joy league has brought to my life since i started playing back in 2012. I've met so many people through league of legends in and out of game, after high school when all my friends drifted apart, the one's whom i am still close with have remained so because of the time we share playing league. Yea I may rage, get tilted (and a little toxic) but what keeps me playing after all these years and all the changes to the game is my love for it. I remember watching the 2016 spring finals with my gf at the time and all my dad could do was bash it, he couldn't see what I could and can, i don't see non athletes or athletes playing a video game, I see 10 people doing something they love to do, something that people all over the world have come to love, including me. So even though league of legends is a toxic unbalanced piece of shit, its my toxic and unbalanced piece of shit. Thank you Riot for making our game.

Man league has changed my life around, it really shows me how to deal with tough situations such as tilt, and how to prosper from win streaks. Honestly, it also has helped me cope with stresses that I receive from my family and school. It is crazy what a game can do I really hope I can impact the world greatly.

[@deus510]

What is astonishing is the fact that those people don't even know what's the real meaning of Sport in general. Sport is meant to make people meet, play, and share moments together, it's primarly focused on the feelings and the emotions that you feel when being part of a community of people that want to have fun, to share joy and excitement ! It's all meant to make people socialise !!! It's not about sweating, it's not about putting tremendous efforts, it's all about having fun, joy, sharing and socialising !

[@xHSBunny]

it's about putting tremendous efforts as well xd And if you didn't sweat playing a 50+ minute intense ranked game I don't know what does. xD Takes alot of mental sweat tho. :D (I'm saying this for the people that think that this game requires like no effort or sweat, that's just wrong.)

[@thevannmann]

Sports is a word, it has a number of definitions. You're being too emotional.

[@ori4192]

But critics don't really feel much emotions other than being salty all the time.

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

That's pretty silly, actually. Realistically speaking, sports is about competing against others in a contest of skill with the aim of being the best and seizing victory. So, y'know, LoL is a sport.

[@JakobiSaint]

He does it because his son chose to chase his dream of becoming a pro in gaming. At first he didnt know how to handle the situation but eventually supported his son in achieving this dream. After realizing the debate over it Rick himself decided to aid the fight for it to be considered a sport and to make these monkeys see that it is more than they can make out of it with their closed minded ideologies. Granted they were from another generation and change is hard to comprehend sometimes but eventually it will be known even more globally and respected as a professional sport. Hell even the US government grants pro's Travel Visa's. Look it all up if you're interested in knowing more, its an inspiring story and a fight that gamers shouldn't be ashamed of ever.

[@god-sd3zl]

[@carlosflup]

I play league too but i cannot stop worrying about these kids... they are trading real life for something virtual that in the end doesn´t give back anything. Riot´s brainwashes kids very effectively with these amazing and emotional videos. I always played and will always play games, i´m addicted to league and enjoy these videos... But get real with your comments! Don´t cry over a game when there´s so much stuff going on in this world. Never trade an opportunity to be with ur friends with few games of lol. Play lol, yes, enjoy, but lol is not a replacement for the things that actually contribute to happiness and really are rewarding. This game is great in many ways, but understand that it´s a business: everything that seems great in this game, if u dig deep enough, you´ll find business interests. So live your life, play league, enjoy lcs, but dont make irrational comments driven by marketing emotional videos. Cherish friends and family above games pls. And you still can play league and enjoy, but dont lose track of reality pls.

[@wabbajack8283]

Carlos While I agree to some of your statements at your comment but I'm gonna disagree on some especially the part where you said, "in the end doesn't give back anything". If you really play this game, you will understand the pure joy, satisfaction, and every other synonyms of happiness when you won a very close game, where you clutch a 1v1, being promoted to a higher elo through weeks or even months of perseverance. Yes, this may be underwhelming, but if you saw your passion for this game and shared it with your friends, the amount of happiness and overall satisfaction you'll get as you and your friends became stronger and stronger and built a team of your own from scratch is multiplied tenfold. And when you look at the bigger picture, you can relate to this with the community of League of Legends, not your typical toxic community but the community you can and will meet on meet-ups, tournaments, conventions and etc. These people share the same passion as you are and your friends that makes you just somehow happy to be a part of it.

[@pedromesquita6647]

Leauge is something people have a passion for. Why do people argue for the fact that it's not a sport? It brings joy and love to people because they are doing what they never thought they could do. Wrather it is a sport or not, it involves just as much skill and dedication as a sport would

[@MatthewConnally]

Though I do agree on the fact that it is a sport

[@whatthe987]

Seriously? It's just a video game? Can't break a sweat? So you'll never call this a sport? So CHESS is not a sport because it won't break a sweat do you? Why you called it "Just a video game" if they called it a competition? It has sportmanship! It has Strategy It's ESPORT! Sometimes there's always stupid critics without knowing what they judge.... NOT JUST A SPORT OUR SPORT

what the You are totally right, chess and league are different kind of sports but they are still sports nonetheless.

Yeah wake me up when there's more than 2-3 kills after 20 mins. :^)

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

Hell, we can do better than that: if those know-nothing critics try to counter that they don't consider chess a sport either, then... so if you don't sweat it's not a sport? OK then, Olympic shooting and archery. You'd probably sweat MORE playing LoL than you would doing those! BOOM, you lose!

[@GurimuArt]

Well seriously, for those who say Esport is not a thing then they havent play any video games with their friends yet. Playing Leage with the Buddies is the best feeling ever

[@bornulhu4549]

Hunter Grimm and it feels better than when you play quote on quote "real sports" with your buddies. I mean like what would you rather do: -kick a ball Or -play a fun game where you kill rats with blowdarts, destroy towers with magic, make new friends and rivals online, and to top it all of it constantly gets updated (aka new shit gets added). Am i right? Like what is the last time they added something new and gamechanging to lets say football... oh yeah never. LoL rules fam! :D

Youve got a huge community of people talking argueing maming friends and having a whole lot of a good time with one another. This is a sport. Its our sport

Currently it's not incredibly balance but as BlitzYT said if we give them time to tweak the changes they recently made it will go back to its normal state. Usually the game is pretty balanced with a few things being out of meta and some being more picked, people just bitch too much about the game generally.

[@totallycarbon2106]

WerZocktGames why don't you recognise players like Faker as athletes? They train as much as their traditional sports counterparts, if not more than some, and they constantly play under the highest pressure on the biggest stages. I'm not sure why being a video game is enough to determine whether or not something is a sport, it's the activities surrounding the game that define it as a sport: the tournaments, the players, the coaches, the analysts, the journalists, the broadcasters, the share holders, the advertisers, and just as importantly - us - the fans.

[@gameatmychannel]

WerZocktGames like everything in history it changes, sports have been around for a really long time, so has humans, and u know y we are live now, we change, your statement will change at one point of time, if u don't change it then your kids will. And when that happens it is going go be a change in history from the old to the new. Like everything in life it moves on, never stopping, just moving.

[@GWo14]

Not to mention Sportscasters have gotten extremely boring and mundane. I do find ESports to be a bit more entertaining to watch,. My thoughts are that its like this because there is still so much passion in the sport. Tradition sports like football and basketball seem pretty washed up lately, as in most of the Athletes only do it for money instead of the competition. (Baseball is excluded in this cause you still see tons of passion in the athletes, as far as what Ive seen so far... But Baseball is fucking boring to watch regardless...)

Guys time changes, but most old people will never like most of the changes, and maybe one day we'll be just like them. Think about football or any other sports, do you think that anybody used to think it could be a "work" to be a football player? Beeing paid waaay over the average person? No.. Same with e-sports right now. Sports used to be games, just like video-games, most people wouldn't take you seriously now saying your dream is to become a proplayer, just like it used to happen when kids wanted to become professional football players (sorry if I'm mainly saying football, but that's the best thing I can relate to, it works for any other sport tho). Life changes, that's it.

[@seraphine3766]

Mika Nils Albrecht yes because scoring an imaginary point in traditional sport is way better than scoring a point in a video game. If you have played a video game, you will understand that it fits into the category of "sport" much like Chess and Poker do (and these are real sports). Besides, the American Government has already acknowledged it is a sport of classifying Professional players as athletes. So it is funny how you said sitting in front of a computer "like a complete idiot" when these athletes have more of a brain than most traditional athletes.
