I wasn't sure if you were joking, but this is actually the reason I don't think esports are appropriate as an Olympic sport more than any other argument, like this is the #1 issue for me is that video games are too mutable Yeah you almost would need to invent one specialised game for the Olympics or something..."eSports" can't be the event in and of itself. It would need to be like a FIFA event, a rocket league event, a LoL event. But those things fade from year to year and there'll definitely be a time where LoL isn't such a big deal. I'm not against this so much, it just seems logistically difficult to implement at the Olympics. It's an entirely different genre of sports. Maybe they should just introduce an Esports Olympics that is run alongside the regular Olympics. --- Such a lust for revenge <cite>XIII_rocks posted [p:884491223] in Olympics c...
