Soon (possibly), esports will be allowed at olympics, so I wonder if people on the board agree that esports should be at the olympics. Lets say for example the best team in the world TSM (No fanboy hehe) was against SKT at the olympics... approve or disapprove?
To many rules and variables. What game. Oh god the company who produces that game gets so much glory.
No. It would be an insult to our ancestors and tradition, and true athletes. (Of course a few events are insulting now like curling, freaking Canadians and thier dumb game)
I'm happy nerds can make money (little jealous I'm not good enough) with thier gaming skills but I hope to never see video games at an official Olympics event.
Edit: though I assume will will see it since it might be a cheap cash grab by the Olympics committee.
The problem I see comes twofold:
A) The olympics have done nothing but ruin the economies of the countries they've touched (will link an article at the bottom about what's happened since the Rio ones), thus you kinda have to ask if you really "want" something like this at there
B) Even if "Esports" were added to the olympics (which even then, would be rather complicated as unlike swimming there are different ones requiring different skillsets), I see esports benefitting far less than the olympics will off this deal, as barring the opening ceremonies the viewerbase for olympic sports tends to be quite shallow.

I would prefer the Olympics be cancelled until they get their shit together and stop wasting tens of billions of dollars every few years to ruin another city. Remember Beijing, Sochi and Rio?
Sure... I'd add it to the olympics... just as soon as we get American Football at the Olympics.
no pls
