I do sports all year round and I find it hilarious when my teammates and coaches deny the idea that League of Legends is an official sport in this country. I even showed them the official documentation. xD

Lol, I like playing League and all...but it's not a real sport.

It's a mind sport. Just like chess. Different classification.

AírMay 4, 20164 votes

Chess is technically a sport too. So is darts. And honestly, if those two are sports, than League can be one too.

PDE5 InhibMay 4, 20161 votes

Chess is a mind sport.

They are different classifications

Legally League of Legends is considered a sport, and its players are recognized by the government as pro athletes. http://www.scpr.org/blogs/newmedia/2013/07/15/14255/us-government-recognizes-league-of-legends-video-g/

Mind sport.

"Mind sport" is not a thing. It is not even a term. Lol, you are just like my coaches and teammates: refusing to acknowledge the very documentation which proves my entire argument.

EDIT: also, since I feel like you are too lazy to click the link fish put, let me show you a comment that emphasizes my point even more so:

"Games like League of Legends and intense FPS games like Quake Live, and RTS titles Starcraft II can be physically and mentally demanding. They require very quick thinking, split-second reactions, and few sports exist that promotes the development of muscle memory as finely tuned. To play these games at the level most pro eSports gamers play them requires hundreds of hours of practice and drills to fine tune techniques and physical performance. The average casual video game player can't sit down and pump out 300 commands-a-second on a controller or keyboard & mouse. Believe it or not this actually burns up massive amounts of calories. So, it was inevitable that eSports would become officially recognized as a Real Sport, because it is."

I feel like his jimmies have been rustled to the point he is making up terms. http://roadtoepic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Rustled-Jimmies.jpg

Trust me, weebs pretending League is a sport is the last thing that would make my jimmies russle xD

Also, the Olympic committee also uses the term mind sport. So I'm not sure why you think I'm making it up?

That my friend is the words of a man who has recently had his jimmies rustled. You call us weebs because we stated that legally League of Legends is considered a sport. https://49.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7bzk0ZSR1rwnpq0o1_400.gif 2 rustled 4 me

PDE5 InhibMay 4, 20162 votes

Still a mind sport :)

Also, I'm a bit lost on that gif lol.

Ok, so I will admit my faults for games like chess, magic and scrabble. They are mind games. My bad for not knowing that. But they are still different than MOBAs due to the physical prowess LEGITIMATELY required to play the game.

And if you disagree, please reread my previous post so that you do not embarrass yourself.

PDE5 InhibMay 4, 20161 votes

physical prowess LEGITIMATELY required to play the game.

lol.

The physicality of League is about the same as Chess. Have you ever seen a pro chess player? They are EXTREMELY quick in their movements as well. Still doesn't make it physically intensive lol.

AírMay 4, 20164 votes

Chess does not require the reaction speed and fine motor skills that MOBAs require.

PDE5 InhibMay 4, 20161 votes

Let's be honest here, League is not a physically demanding game.

Laughing FishMay 4, 20165 votes

It appears that you are still ignoring the article posted, so I will repost the relevant quote as you clearly did not read it the first time:

"Games like League of Legends and intense FPS games like Quake Live, and RTS titles Starcraft II can be physically and mentally demanding. They require very quick thinking, split-second reactions, and few sports exist that promotes the development of muscle memory as finely tuned. To play these games at the level most pro eSports gamers play them requires hundreds of hours of practice and drills to fine tune techniques and physical performance.

Yeah, this is about as correct as the rest of his statement.

Cause clearly everyone can have the physical prowess to have the reaction time and fine motor movements to accomplish what the pros can.

Shesh, why am I not challenger yet?

sarcasm

Past that, it is clear that you do not listen to reason. I have no idea why I am arguing with someone who cannot use even two of the brain cells he was given.

There is a reason so many pro players get injuries. While it is not physically demanding to play casually, it is certainly demanding to play at the highest levels.

PbJMpP4xzkMay 4, 20161 votes

yeah yeah much quick, so INTENSE LUL

PbJMpP4xzkMay 4, 20161 votes

of course league is a sport you get the same frustration just like other sports and your hearth is pounding everytime you enter a matchmaking since you dunno what gonna happen LUL

Laughing FishMay 4, 20164 votes

Which means technically I have failed at 3 sports now. Flag Football, Chess, and League of Legends.

Laughing FishMay 4, 20165 votes

Haters gonna hate. I find many people show it more respect when they find out how much money Pros make. I mean, Faker has made over 500k in 3 years. https://media.giphy.com/media/MvS6aL7FX0Iz6/giphy.gif

stealthfox94May 4, 20163 votes

If Poker, chess, and the spelling bee are considered sports then why not Esports. It's way closer to being a real sport than any of those.

Laughing FishMay 4, 20164 votes

I don't know man. I think I just underestimate how easily people's jimmies are rustled. http://weknowmemes.com/generator/uploads/generated/g1335297277706922926.jpg

PbJMpP4xzkMay 4, 20161 votes

mowing my lawn is a sport but i don't make 500k out of it, its actualy costing me something to practice my sport, like just the majority of us who practice any kind of sport, i mean an average tennis man would have to spend money to pratice tennis, still i respect him practicing is sport, the point is, the fact that you make money out of practicing a sport does not make the sport more a sport out of it.

P.S. its not a sport its a mindsport its not the same.

Shac NorrisMay 5, 20161 votes

I don't think that lawn mowing can be called a sport tbh..

I've never heard of professional lawn-moving teams having a lawn mowing contest..
