Well said.

Same. I respect it. But just like i respecting someone doing cook competition, or mathematics competition. Not all competition can be classified as sport. For me it just that, physical activity. The guy trying so much to make esports looks like in the same tier as other real sport when it's not.

@@geokim8590 well, if u play soccer with ur fan, just for the sake of playing, with no money to win. Or no something to prove, it's still classified as u doing sport 🤷. No. There is no different.

If i go to mathematics competition, is it classified as sport just bc it's competitive?😂 And it's not like soccer player just kick the ball. They run too

@@edwardtimothy3581 you have no idea the physical abilities an eathlete must have. Just because you're not getting up and running doesnt mean its not physical activity. After all the blood sweat and tears those players have been through, the least you could do is respect them.

captainsandwhich is correct. its a game, an activity. its not a sport. 0 athleticism. i dont care what anyone says, its not a sport. i do wrestling and MMA. nothing about gaming can be compered to sports, especially combat sports

No lol, first of all nobody watches mobile tournaments, second of all not everybody has a phone lol? Can Africans be professional esports players?

Alwaysbooster mobile tournaments are watched. Not everybody has a phone ye but most people. And African people can be professional esports players because everybody can

All major esports are only on console or pc and not on mobile, and not everybody has a console or pc, you also need to practice at the game for hours a day which many people simply don’t have time for. So not everybody can be a professional esports player unless they have deep pockets and lots of free time.

E-Sports is not that difficult. Other people are working hard, getting bruises and they don’t get any recognition. But somebody just puts a controller into their hand and they are suddenly very famous. I agree with you but, I don’t think it is a full on sport. I think there should be a different category for minds sorts. For like chess and math competitions I agree with you but not completely.

yeah I beat my friends in football last week so obviously I'm tom brady

VampyAuto 8 go and put a controller in your hand, pick any game with major esports, and get as good as the best, come back when you are a professional esports player winning money

VampyAuto 8 “E-Sports is not that difficult” You have never been more wrong.

we should have a different sport category for things like this. (nascar, chess, checkers, and esports) for things that dont need much physical training and requires brains (and yes, personally i think you need to be smart to drive)

The thing is, i don't see chess as a sport. More like a game. And just bc u have competition about certain activity, doesn't necessary make that activity as a sport

I've never seen someone that considered chess a sport.

@@andarilho_31 yeah even pro chess player called them self gm or something like that instead of athlete

Yes that was what I was thinking the world finals were in an open stadium . Could be worlds 2017 finals though

@AimusVAL so a pianist is also an athlete then?

@AimusVAL so painter, guitarist, cook, writer, and any other that make ur fuckn eye tired and arm hurt an athlete, WTF just cause it has a competition doesn't make it a sport I think esport need to be changed to competitive gaming, and they don't even need to be a sport or be in Olympic, esport or competitive gaming they are a big thing they don't need to be a sport to survive they can be their own thing.

@AimusVAL "physical"is the keyword And u said it urself, there's nothing physical about eSports unless were talkin bout vr, in game we mostly move an avatar body not ours, which is why chess are still considered a competition not a sport even pri chess player called themselves grand master and all that instead of an athlete

@AimusVAL even shooting sport (except for reaction shooting ipsc, or other that are similar) still need a lot of physical, mental, skill they need a lot of physical training specially for the arm even though they just move their hand a lil. While in gaming u don't need any physical training, yes u need to train a lot but not physically, same with chess and as I said it before they don't even called themselves an athlete.

@AimusVAL or people that are proficient at a "sport", for something to be called a sport it need to incorporate enough physical aspect to be one and moving ur hand a lil isn't enough, to tell u the truth it's really confusind what defined a sport too many experts said different things

?

Besides the physical movement required by any sport, can you you think esports should not be seen a sport?

Thanks for watching, and I appreciate your honesty. I actually agree with you: playing video games is not a sport; I hope I made that point clear in the video. From 9:37 to At 10:39 I cover definitions. My definition of Esports= “Playing video games competitively as an individual or a team using agreed upon rules and regulations.” The key things to take away are “rules” and “competitively.” To put it another way: tossing a baseball in the backyard is not a sport, just like sitting on your couch playing video games is not a sport. Add rules, another team, and increase the stakes for winning and losing, and you’ve got a sport. And thanks, I do my best to be a “nice guy” :) In general, my experience with the entire Esports community is that there are a whole lot of good people doing good things. The more we engage with and empower the players, the better it will get!

Is chess a sport?

@@reinvendiola1629 no

@@pszyk.o.9074 why not? what makes a sport, a sport?

Esports is a not a sport, he main reason is due to the lack of physical exertion compared to other traditional sports.

chess is a sport and that is not an opinion just what it is so that definition has something wrong or with physical it includes something else

@@Fieldjam-nq8zp chess demonstrates heavy competition, something esports don't. Usually, you'll witness one individual being dominant for 4 years and so on tho the next person. The reason why it isn't so competitive is that it isn't as popular as other sports, or traditional as chess.

@@roberttorres7936 esports are the competitive part of video games if you want an example optic games in call of duty the dominated for years and also esports are growing much faster than traditional sport for example the LoL world championship had more viewers than the super bowl i think it was while in the past the difference between those two were huge so esports are becoming more known as the time goes and the competitive thing you said makes no sense because esports are literally the competitive from video games

Fieldjam 56368 good explanation. I really don’t want to be against it. You you think esports is going to be recognized sometime as these sports that’s are worldwide recognized as The NBA, football, etc?

@@roberttorres7936 every year esports are more and more recognised at the point they have more viewers than traditionals sport events so i would say that they will be

I don't think that's what the video was about, but thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's good to know what you like.

who's gonna tell him

Well heres the thing, in order to be a sport, a sport must require physical activity, and esports don’t require physical activity, so the only way an esport could be a sport by definition is if it requires motion or gyro controls, and most esports don’t have that. So that’s why esports (at least in my opinion) are not sports, I don’t hate esports or anything, it’s just that I don’t consider them to be sports.

@@juicecoconutgun7264 would you consider nascar as a sport?

@Juicyyz Something not being a sport doesnt mean it is easy. Playing piano is not easy, does that mean it is athletic?

@Juicyyz That still doesnt explain why it is a "sport".

@Juicyyz If Esports are real sports, then so is internet shopping. Everything that you say about gaming relates to e-baying.

@JuicyyzFPS Millions of people watch music concerts too. It doesn't make it a sport.

@JuicyyzFPS You haven't given any proof that it's a sport. Only called me a boomer. A sport is something which requires physical exertion in which teams or individuals compete against each other for entertainment. E sports isn't a sport.

Yeet Yote You aren’t a fan of esports then?

i would love see your "actual athletes" try and keep up with these athletes!

Look. There is a huge difference in lot of games between playing for fun and competitively.

@@sastashroud7646 You do realize that it makes no sense to categorize esports as a health hazard and chess not? They are basically the same thing just different genres. Pretty much any MOBA game works the same way chess does only it' s a billion times more complicated. Instead of a few chess pieces with different movements patterns you suddenly have over 150 of them with multiple different movement and attack patterns that also interact with each other in different ways. Same way as to become a professional chess player, you got to sit a desk for many hours every day and hone your skill set, you also have to do the same thing with many esports. The only difference might be that chess is played way less competitively and doesn't require as much effort put into as esports, where you have to practise 10-12 hours every day otherwise you' l simply fall behind the competition. There is way more competition than in any other sports so i would indeed categorize it as a sport. You need effort, strategy, teamwork and so much more.

Imagine saying golf isnt a sport

uranfaggit since when are fishermen, shooters, pool players, chess players and others athletes? I guess I did word it incorrectly, but for the record climbers are most certainly gasping for air. I believe that physical sports are things that push your body to its limits. Esports can be anything you want, just not in the same category as physical sports. No disrespect to pro gamers, I for one really like the RLCS in rocket league.

Just saying you can get injured in e sports such as back pain,wrist pain which is very common in e sports players over 50% of players get one these injuries while playing
