Noone is gonna watch that. Just think about it: would you like to watch two people playing a chess game for hours? I've personally got better things to do. I know that SC2 isn't chess, but still.. | ||

You have to do a lot of things to prepare for your shot. It is physical enough. Let us use the biathalon as an example as to how shooting a rifle is a physical sport. uhm of course i know biathlon, but using biathlon as an example is wrong as shooting a rifle is just a part of it (you have to shoot after going a long distance) but at the olympics there are events where you just stand around and use a gun to shoot baloons. i think you wont tell me that this is more physical than esport / additionally, while at chess you dont need any physical ability at all, you have to be good with your mouse and keyboard at esports. that is a physical thing, even though you dont need to run 30km | ||

This would give people a chance to slowerly become more familier with the sport. For example I think that there should be greater televised matches before even thinking about having something such as SC2 in the Olymipics | ||

I still think esports in the Olympics would do more harm then good for it. It is just such a volatile event, unless you say well BW lasted so long. Then we might as well just give Korea the gold silver and bronze medals. WCG does a good job at an olympic style event where you qualify and play in the grand finals for a chance at a medal for your country on their website. | ||

Most entertaining and awesome-tacular Olympics ever, Also, it would be very funny to see some NBC caster try to talk about the SC games, and how they mess up. | ||

And at that point it's probably pretty close to a team sport anyway. | ||

Chess will likely never make it in for the exact same reason that a video game won't..... the olympic sports all require some amount of physical prowess. Archers are usually quite strong and have extremely good hand eye co-ordination, runners have to well run fast etc. Esports require no physical skill other than being able to move your hands fast, and if that qualifies it as an olympic sport then speed typing or speed piano playing would also qualify. Esports don't need the olympics, just like extreme sports don't. Snowboarding made it in to the olympics only because its gotten so huge, the plethora of other extreme sports out there simply don't have the following to be in it and they don't need to be. We need an eOlympics, even if it was run under the Olympics commission itself, it would never be included in the real olympics..... and it shouldn't ever be. | ||
