Also, something to think about, should it be a summer olympics game or winter olympics  I vote for winter :DStarcraft is art. It never gets old. | ||

Edit: You're right about Fifa, people wouldn't watch that but there is nothing in the real world like Starcraft, otherwise we Koreans would rule the world ^_^ Not only is baseball a sport, but it is the best one Also, golf is the hardest sport by far. Things that are judged like figure skating and gymnastics i dont consider sports however. | ||

I think Olympic events should be physical and athletic too, but SC in the olympics would be very interesting to watch  | ||

Please give me some reasoning, hahahaha omg, I can't believe you just said that. Edit: Also golf is not the hardest sport, by that I presume you mean skill, anyone can prove that with straight out facts. Edit #2: You are probably a very mechanical personality, ice skating and gymnastics [ although I don't agree on the judging system ] are examples of human art that are very strenuous as opposed to other human art like dancing, therefore they are 'sports' | ||

Things that are judged like figure skating and gymnastics i dont consider sports however. baseball is the worst sport ive ever laid my eyes on even curling was more enjoyable for me and golf is hard? compared to, say, pole vault?  starcraft or any esport shouldnt make it into the olympics i dont know what criteria a game should achieve to be introduced as an olympic sport but id not like to see computer games played in the olympics | ||

Though it's more a game than a sport.. well no .. i think it deserves being olympic, it's just so damn boring with all the strikes. | ||

.. don't trip.... starcraft will never be an olympics sport, even the thought of it is nothing sort of preposterous -.- unless there's an e-olympics or something.. Poker will become an olympic sport before starcraft, which is never... I do like the idea of E-Olympics though.. | ||

starcraft is much more of a sport (yes i mean SPORT in any context you put it) than half of the disciplines we have now. only few of them require physical fitness and only a by far not all of them include performances that are actually amazing to watch for outsiders. horse riding, sailing or floor exercises for example ... wtf? or some of the shooting disciplines are very similar to playing a computer game. the "athletes" barely move and if you're not into it you have no idea what the point of that sport is. some of them hit and some of them don't. why? no clue... delivering "cognitive, affective and microphysical" performance. that's how steffen p. walz from the austrian e-sports university called it. | ||

And yes, I can imagine someone, rather playing a video game, than playing the real thing. That would be me , FIFA > real football because I suck too much on it And about SC being olimpic, I think it would be great but it will probably never happen | ||
