video games shouldn't be in the "traditional" olympics. e-sports should create their own "e-olympics" where every competitive game can be played by the best players of each country. imagine the money it will produce just from the sheer number of viewers.

Jason Mason One of the biggest debates concerning eSports is whether competitive video gaming can be defined as a sport. The definition of sport has been attempted many times, and a universal definition has not been determined (Perks, 1999). Rather than a definitive academic definition, people refer to the Oxford English Dictionary (n.d.) definition, “An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment” (para. 1). The definition of sport needs to be discussed to ensure that eSports can be defined as a sport.

I'm totally indifferent, Olympics need gaming because the appeal of the Olympics is dwindling. The problem is, is that it brings in private enterprise into a sporting category. Sure there's branding but no-one owns 'Basketball', no one owns 'Baseball' but DotA is owned and operated by Valve. I don't know, just seems a little off.

I don´t think that would be an issue at all. In fact, being optimistic, the owners of those games that could potentially be broadcasted in the Olympics will be more than happy to allow this, since it enhances their game popularity, solidifies its fan base and fuels the steady growth of their business. In the worst case scenario, they will ask for royalties maybe, but I don´t think that´s a feasible possibility since the ones who will be more interested in getting into Olympics are the game owners themselves.

Anthony Clark Can you name a single ultra famous cricket player? Probably not. But they’ll go down in history just the same as someone like Brady. It’s the same with eSports- if you don’t care for it, you won’t care for it. You obviously enjoy football to some degree, and it’s mainstream enough that most people have heard of the most famous players in it. eSports isn’t nearly as mainstream, and the 30+ year olds of today didn’t and probably won’t ever care for it, that’s why they won’t know them. Not because of any sort of lack of achievement. Zero, winning 53 tournaments straight, setting probably the most impressive run achieved in the history of eSports. Faker, probably the single most terrifying LoL player to touch the keyboard. Daigo, the initiator of moment 37 (the Daigo parry), one of the most hype and technically absurd to pull off comebacks of all time. But honestly? I’m wasting my time trying to tell you this. If you don’t care, and don’t care to change that? Some rando on youtube won’t change your mind. Anyways, have a good one👍🏻

Anthony Clark it goes reverse too. athletes train all day to become the best at sports. To be a top gamer, you have to train all day to be the best. Reaction time, muscle memory, knowledge of the whole game, and enemy team analyzation are all required to be good. Anyone can pick up a controller and be good at a game. Same with sports. But in both, its nearly impossible to immediately be the best in the world. And chess, poker, and billiards are considered sports. Why not video games?

I don't think there's the need to try and push esports into the olympics. The world is catching on that esports is a thing (and has been for several years now). It's only a matter of time until the olympics realize how much money there is in eports and will beg to include popular games.

There were talks about having it in the olympics, but I’m conflicted with the idea. On one hand, I would love to see it on the olympics to showcase that being the best doesn’t have to be a physical attribute, it can also showcase the mental aptitude of people and Video Games does challenge your reaction time, strategy, tactics and awareness. On the other hand, I’d rather have the olympics focus on their own thing as a physical competition and esports would have something else that challenges the mental capabilities of a person. Maybe bring in the chess and poker players too.

Well 2024 is approximately 6 years away (saying 6 and not 7 cause we're at the end of 2017). Pretty sure in 6 years esports have already overtaken every single sport there is maybe except football, since it's still the most popular sport in the world by far. So I'd say the chances of esports showing up in the 2024 Olympics is pretty high. Specially games like LoL or Dota 2 which even have a viewing angle very similar to real sports. However, I doubt CSGO would show up since it's darker and more violent and we all know this "violence in videogames" narrative isn't over yet and they'd say it's unacceptable for those military shooter games to be in the Olympics because blah blah blah...

People here, including the speaker, miss out one thing. If Esports are in the Olympics, the esports players will not only be fighting for their clubs anymore. They are fighting for their nations. Plus, people should think about the definition of Sport before they say Esports should be in the Olympics or not. Modern sports and Olympics appeared because of the industrial revolution. People started to get richer and looked for entertainment. So rich people started sponsoring athletes and sports became a thing. Some people may misunderstand sports require physical exertion. But physical exertion is only required because technology -wasnt as advanced in the early 20th century. That's why we see a lot of track and field sports are dying because they are too boring to watch. If the sport is too boring to watch, big companies won't even bother to sponsor those athletes. If those athletes have no sponsorship, they can hardly earn a living. If they can hardly earn a living, they will quit. If the people quit, the sport itself will disappear, despite its intense physical exertion. Therefore, as all smart people can see, sports itself only evolves around entertainment, and then business from sponsorship. If one particular sport is too boring, it won't even exist, despite its intense physical exertion. So, physical exertion is only, at most, a peripheral requirement for sport. Like the video said, Esports are much more entertaining for teenagers and the business itself is only growing larger and larger, If Esport is not sport, then what is?

Anything which is boring can become popular if it's done in an impossible way. When someone scores a goal in an impossible way,it creates emotion,dopamine and not just entertainment. Similar is the situation in e sports. It is emotional,not just entertaining. The reason for doing impossible is the evolution of games from Pacman to Dota2. Clearly, you can see the difference. Both are entertaining but dota 2 carries emotion because of some of the impossible things that pros do.

It's a bad match, and IMO, will only hurt the reputation of both. Something as traditional as the olympics shouldn't be modernized too much, it will take away whatever charm it has yet to lose.

I had the chance to go Pro for a few months in PUBG until I realised how much time it was consuming. How much stress and pressure it was to have many different leagues/tournaments every week while also having a lot of team practice. Keeping the team spirit up and get the communications right. Coming up with new strategies in real time and analyse the enemies. PUBG is not even as competitive as other games like CS:GO. Thats why I have a lot of respect for the veterans.

I really do not think that esports should be in the Olympics. The Olympics are more of a celebration of what humans can do physically then anything else. Esports just like chess is more about your mental state then your physical state. When I think of Olympic sports I think of seeing someone run faster then any other human, lift more then anyone, jump so far that you could swear they have wings. This does not apply to more mental sports and I do not see why people want to shoe horn esports into that. They are already getting recognized and even if they wouldnt be we all would still be watching them. Let the Olympics be the Olympics and if anything make a super event that would celebrate all sports that are more about the your mental state then the physical one.

Do you think basketball or volleyball are right for the Olympics? Success in these sports does not require physical superiority. They are games with a set of rules, and being the best at the game requires teamwork and skill. The only real difference between these and esports is a computer, but computers are a vital part of many current Olympic sports, so why not let them regulate the rules?

While I do enjoy video games and eSports, I feel like having eSports at the olympics wouldn't really work. The Olympics are about trying to bring different countries together via friendly competition, but gaming really is more about empowering the individual, and so having teams based on national borders doesn't feel like it makes much sense. Gaming is so different, that I think gaming would be better off with its own version of the olympics. Think about it, you could have a bunch of different events in it. You could have competitions for competitive games, but you could also include speedrunning competitions and game jams. Being it the olympics would bring eSports into the mainstream, but eSports and the Olympics are two completely different things, great in their own ways.

The problem with team sports in the Olympics in general is that you are getting the best players, but they don't necessarily work well as a team together. Video Games like CSGO, LoL and Dota are team games meant for people who work together on a daily basis. You can't throw Hen1, Pasha, ScreaM, KennyS and Skadoodle together and expect them to beat a CSGO pro team, because while they may all be Tier 1 players, they aren't a team. Don't get me wrong they would perform well, but not to their full potential.

I feel like the weird thing would be that they won't really see much of a difference in skill level than their international tournaments. These tournaments already have the best players vsing each other. I feel like it would be redundant to have both an international competition and be in the Olympics. Also because esports is so recent they'll probably have those that were in international tournaments in their roster as they can't really train a new team solely for Olympics from scratch.

UrFriendXD The upside for esports being accepted into the Olympics is recognition. More nations will accept it as a sports. More universities will open up scholarships. More publicity for the various games. Besides Esports can made a regular at the Olympics. It would be like let's say athletics. An umbrella of various disciplines which here would be LoL, StarCraft, DoTA, CSGO, FIFA, etc. So while we might get the most competitive games, it will be a platform for the community to leapfrog onto the international scene.

Just like others in the comments, I agree with having a separate Olympics for E Sports. There are so many games that can't be placed together under an E-sports category for the traditional Olympics. That's just down right unfair for other games. League, CSGO, COD, Valorant, R6, Rocket League, DOTA 2, and others to name a few. Traditional athletic sports also aren't owned by any 1 company. Hence, E-sports should have their own Olympics but be sponsored by the Official Olympics committee. Just like how there is Paralympics, just make E:Olympics or Online Olympics and have categories with the competitive titles out there. That way no competitive games have to fight for a spot of like 2-4 categories in the traditional Olympics and instead have up to 12-16 spots.

Stop asking if esport players are athletes and start asking what we should *define as an athlete* ... The ancient Greeks thought of an athlete as "one who competes for a price". The greater the competition, the bigger the audience, the stiffer the competitive edge of the elite roster, the greater the price, *the greater the athlete* . I agree that esports is indeed a sport, but i just can't stand it when people try to motivate the recognition of such through describing how they are working out to be fit. It is a well known phenomenon that one's mental performance is augmented by a sound diet, a healthy amount of sleep and physical activity, preferably outdoors. This goes for anyone, not just esports players. The way one should go about promoting esports is not convincing the opposition that they're wrong, but rather how esports, in essence, is already a sport. It's just a different type of sport, as opposed to football, or hockey. Whether or not it should be part of the olympics is debatable, but it's starting to become more of an economic question, rather than one of public interest. Esports is an incredibly demanding competition, where only the best of the best make it to the top. Competition is stiff because it's a readily available sport, that almost anyone can pick up and become competitively good at, regardless of gender, age or physical disabilities (with a few exceptions of course). Because of this, the good esport players are so unfathomably proficient compared to the average player, that they do not even compare to the skill gap between amateur and professional athletes. It only makes sense that when you have an ocean of fish, the fastest one will be much faster than the fastest equivalent one in the nearby pond.

Pretty sure they annihilate every sport when it comes to views on computer or any device other than TV. All we need to wait for now is for ESPN and major sports providers to show esports more regularly than the more random viewership it has these days. Things and history changes, and frankly I don’t give a damn if a sport is historic or not, I’ve never found watching sports interesting because I always told my dad I’d rather go play something instead.

Okay, but I would say that the online streaming numbers for Superbowl viewership are largely irrelevant, as the primary market for the NFL would be TV viewers. At any rate, insinuating that the LoL finals were 9x larger than the Superbowl is either misleading or negligent. Do like the video's message overall but I think he missed the mark a bit on a couple of the points, or at least didn't explain them with as much background as well as I'd like :)

So, im just telling you guys, here is the issue with eSports. Not that this will ruin it's Olympic chances, but this is the truth. The reason eSports are still being considered and not confirmed are because all of the popular games, are violent. Csgo puts terrorist against counter terrorists, data congratulates players by saying "ultra kill" and many more games that promote violence. So, that leaves sports games like madden or Fifa, but those don't have s much of a following, so the Olympic organization is kind of screwed. They want to add eSports, but they don't want to "promote" violence at the same time.

Why are people trying so hard to make esport into "sport"? There is no reason to merge the two, they focus on completely different things and have nothing in common apart from being "competitive". Sports aren't a private IP and many sport organizations and events have national funding. Meanwhile video games remain the property of their respective owners (Blizzard for Overwatch/SC2, Riot for LoL, Valve for CS:GO/Dota2 etc). Those companies pay for and organize events for their games to raise viewership and player base, which directly relates to their revenue. You can't fund a private company from taxpayers' money.

Chess isn't olympic because it's boring to watch. Just try to watch some pros play Chess, you'll wish you were painting an impossible painting instead.

yeah, true they do click their mouse and keyboard fast but what let them win isnt that they have to make strategies to win, react and concentrate to win the reason they click so fast is because they have to remember the hotkeys because if you dont your actions would be too slow for what you are thinking. in other words the clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick is a must do to "play" the game in an average level. in the tournament you need strategies, reflexes and concentration to play in a high level

I mean... If people consider Chess, Snooker, Poker, Darts, Shooting, etc. sports, then obviously they have to consider esports real sports. I mean... Mobas are more complex than all these sports combined and they're heavily based on teamwork, mechanics and strategy. Then you look at Chess competitions and it consists of each player taking turns sleeping for half an hour while the other decides which move to make. Snooker is kinda similar, not quite as boring as Chess but pretty damn close. Some of the ones I mentioned I'm not sure are officially considered sports but I think they are (at least most shooting competitions, darts and snooker if I'm not mistaken).

Esports are still very much in their infancy. I think they need more time to develop and grow before we can think about putting them into the Olympics. Most people on the planet still don't even know Esports exist and the ones who do are mostly very bigoted towards them.

I've thought a lot about that, and I think I've come up with a good functional definition. A sport is a competition of skill or ability with well defined rules, not fundamentally reliant on chance, with an objective determination of victory or placing. This includes games such as chess or go but excludes Mouse Trap or Sorry because they depend entirely on dice rolls. You could argue that games like LoL have critical hit chance, but that's not fundamental to the game. In addition, that chance is the result of a conscious decision in the game to use critical hit items. Similarly, football has a coin toss to determine possession and weather can influence the outcome, but none of this is fundamental to the sport. Objectivity is also important. Art isn't a sport because it's subjective. Diving and gymnastics toe the line because victory is determined by judges' scores which have some element of subjectivity, but at the very least they are without a doubt considered competition.

There could be an e-Olympics with pc and mobile leagues (yes I know but mobile has a lot of competitive games like Brawl Stars, Clash Royale, MLBB, Clash of clans, Vainglory, Arena of Valor, PUBG mobile, and many more). Each country could have the greatest players from that country to compete and it would be insane.

I like video games and all and it's good that people can play it professionally. But I don't understand how people support esports replacing traditional sports. Kids are playing outside less and less. That's not progression, that's a problem.

Just because people play esports it doesn't mean they are unhealthy. Look at freakazoid, tyler1, pashabiceps, kjaerbye and others. They are likely in better condition than you. Esports leading to bad health is a myth. Its the mindset of the player. If they don't care about being a slob, then it's there fault. Not esports fault.

I think it's more the other way around. Kids are less and less allowed outside (without supervision, which amounts to the same thing since no one has time to constantly supervise kids - police have taken 10-year olds for walking without adults, which is insane), so they turn to video games instead.
