What do esports have to do to be considered a real sport alongside soccer and basketball?
>>
>>329812262
They are not sports. They should never be classified as them

>>329812262
So these washed up dudebros can justify sitting on their asses all day

I want FGC to be the WWE of E-sports. Minus everything being scripted.

Involve physical activity of the body beyond finger/wrist motion.

High level dota or melee is arguably more technical and competitive than basketball and soccer

It already is with all the drama that goes on. Can't have an FGC event with a fistfight or some epic-level shittalking going down. Whole thing's a circus and I fucking love it because the shit's all real. The 'professional' esports all get too corporate and love to throw fines around if a player does anything out of line and have these giant fucking rulebooks and guidelines to keep their sponsors. FGC is just a bunch of passionate gamers getting together to throw down and it's the way it should be.

Once the pay matches soccer and football athletes.

Have the players perform the big 3 lifts before playing vidya

>>329812262

That would imply you fat fucks are athletes. You aren't.

Video games aren't called video sports. Esports is some sad fat bastards attempt to make them relevant. You should be looking at how to make them as popular as poker, or bridge tournaments.

Set up an obstacle course like American Gladiators. On the other side put a mix of high end rigs, and toasters. May the best man win.

it's just like motor sports, another alternative to real sports but never actually considered a real sport

i think it's just as fun to watch though
>>
>>329812371
>>329812456

You have to be a complete autist to argue that esports are actual sports.

The term is used purely for convenience.
