The Olympics are about as corrupt as FIFA. I don't know why you would want any esport to associate with them.

no... athletes are people who exert physical exercise.

So injuries like with Bjergsen's wrist, eys etc. are not physical? Since caused by a as the way you describe it non-physical exercise?

Curling for example is an Olympic sport, have you seen what they do there. The only persons comming close to your statement are the dusters.

are trying to tell me anything that involves injuring your wrist or eyes in considered a Olympic sport? If so you're an imbecile, i can go climb a tree and jump from it, should that be considered a Olympic sport? No, Rugby and football, these are examples of olympic sports.

You tried justifying that having a hurt wrist or eyes is acceptable to be in the Olympics, i say not, you don't exert any physical energy when you're playing a online game.

No, he used said examples to support his idea that esports is physical, which it is. You have to have muscle memory and conditioning to be able to play esports at a high level. Yes, at a much lower level than that of traditional sports, but it isn't non-existent in esports

That's mentally challenging, not physical get the difference? no? Alright then. here's a definition for ya :

"the activity of exerting your muscles in various ways to keep fit. Synonyms : exercise , exercising , physical exercise , workout. the doctor recommended regular exercise. he did some exercising. the physical exertion required by his work kept him fit."

Actually i did get the difference. It seems you are the one who missed the point, yet again. When referring to the physical aspect of esports I was meaning the fitness of the hand and it's muscles. To play at the highest levels, you definitely need hand fitness to be able to play this game for 10-12 hours a day. That is physical, and not mental. Does that make sense now?

i've played league for 10 hours a day before.. it's not very physical.

M Dragon14Jun 1, 20161 votes

Do you play 10+ hours a day at least 4-5 days a week?

What is your average APM per game?

Does your APM compare to that of a pro?

Does your level of play compare to that of a pro?

Why do pros receive hand/wrist injuries if what they do is not physical?

Is your anecdotal evidence even relevant to the discussion at hand?

Do you even know what anecdotal evidence is, and know why it is unreliable?

i play rugby bud, if league of legends is ever even considered a sport, it would be the pussiest of sports.

Avoided the question and asserted an opinion as fact. Either really dumb, or a troll. Either way, I rest my case.

MasziiJun 1, 20162 votes

I did not but nice try.

I say no for a different reason they the other people in this thread. Riot is not interested in pure balance, which is their choice. They have admitted to make balance choices to cycle champions to the top. Riot has a set of proprieties that are not necessarily in the interest of fair play. Riot can and has made random choices cause they can which has effected world tournament play (juggernauts season 5). These polices are not healthy for a competitions with the ideals like the Olympics.

Cripples or injured people back in the day mostly or some nowadays used crutches to move and get around as time went on crutches became wheelchairs and soon will became other devices that will help the injured to move and get around.

If an injured person can walk with a robotic leg is he still injured or a cripple ? As time goes on and scientific discoveries continue should we only limit our choices because it doesn't directly fit into the every day norm.
Does the LOL-Esports scene involve physical movement or having exercise that results in sweating or fatigue NO. Times do change; Basketball was once entertainment that involved a heavy rock and not a pig skin ball, football had huge men with no shoulder pads or helmets knocking each other down instead of flags being thrown because someone got speared too hard or a person got hurt it was if you can't handle the pain get off the field.

Simple answer should League or other E-sports be involved in the Olympics WHO CARES If a t.v show is on and I don't like it or don't wish to watch it I DON'T WATCH IT but to others that T.v Show is great so they watch.
Day 1 of the Olympics is E-sports competition and you don't support it DON't WATCH IT simple as that but to some people they do think it should be the Olympics and why shouldn't it not be the Olympics because it doesn't involve sweat?

All n All Let the E-sports scene keep growing and in time once the majority of people who get tired of the every day norm of sports the E-Sports scene will be around as TIME can not be stopped as everyday technology and scientific discoveries continue so should the people who only think about the now and not the Future. Nice post and Have a Good One !
