It doesn't make sense. You have unpopular sports like Skiing, Bobsledding, Table Tennis and shit but they can't put any Esports in the Olympics? That is just bullshit. Gamers area truly the most oppressed.

Toke jopic but popularity doesn't have to do with anything in the Olympics. They have marathon walking and I doubt there's many die hard fans for that. They're about seeing people in their physical peak performing

Dota 2 money = | IOC Money = |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Messi makes 80 million dollars a year. He is one guy on a team of 11. The entire Dota 2 pool is $40 million.

Dota 2 money = | I feel like none of this is comparable. The IOC is based around all the olympics including the unpopular ones based on what Ive seen. So of course comparing that to DOTA isnt fair. Plus, you are comparing the most popular players and sports in the world to DOTA. That isnt fair either.

Plus, you are comparing the most popular players and sports in the world to DOTA. That isnt fair either. Compare it to something comparable in the Olympics like Bobsledding or something You went straight to the most popular Esport. It's a pretty apt comparison as it sets an upper boundary for expected money return. The "unpopular" Olympic sports are still televised and used mostly as filler between days when athletes are resting so when people aren't playing soccer they're using the stadium for field hockey or something else. They're there to make money during downtime and they still get pretty good money. You won't get Dota 2 level money for being a champion at discus, sure, but you're invited because they need someone to fill the time. And you can literally make more money begging than bobsledding so that's not really a fair comparison either. At the end of the day the most popular games combined just don't have enough money to put together a singular event on an international stage and the less popular games would end up losing money. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

There's a lot of games right now that are easier to play than they are to watch due to increasingly complex mechanics designed to appeal to the hardcore players.
Live sports by contrast are easy. Have ball. Ball go in hoop 2 points. Ball go in hoop from far away, 3 points. Want to know what's happening? Watch the ball. That's all the viewer needs to understand. Evo Moment #37 is cool and all but have you ever tried to explain that shit to someone who doesn't know shit about fighting games? You have to cover: Parrying Blocking Chip damage Supers Frame data And that's not even getting into fundamentals. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

You don't. That's the thing. Imagine an event like AGDQ or SGDQ and make it a live competition instead of just for fun. So you're suggesting that you compete at numerous different games and get an averaged score based on your performance at each? Or that there's a medal for every different game (which, fuck that. Let's be real thats too many medals to suddenly add and the best country at gaming shouldn't have a massive edge in medal count in the Olympics). None of those really work in an Olympic style competition. --- "Mr. Fatass. Mr ugly cat! Mr can't even sell for 2 bucks!" ~ Jim Lahey https://files.catbox.moe/gqwlkg.jpeg ~ by JimCarrysToe.
