Maybe you shouldn't compare "some random kid" with the two biggest stars of the olympics. There are "sports" like gun shooting and horse riding at the olympics for christ sake. As long as some fat 50 year old housewife (hi @ shooting competition) is able to take part in the olympics I don't think Flash would be totally out of place. I hope you're not talking about Kim Rhode, who is 33, a five-time Olympic medalist (first competing when she was 13) and probably the best skeet shooter in the world. AKA more manly than you :p | ||

How many people follow fencing or water polo on a regular basis? college? i see much more logical arguments against esports in olympics than in favor of. take out your bias supported by personal opinion, there is no logical viewpoint to introduce video games in olympics. WCG already does this well with all sorts of video games. introducing one video game among many physical sports do not help, it only hurts the integrity of olympic. if wcg doesn't grow, i see no reason for any video game to be part of olympic since wcg itself is designed for esports. i honestly think it'll be a laughing stock if it actually happens, just like how this thread kind of is. | ||

The 50 year old housewife has probably put more training hours in shooting than most of the sc2 players because she has been training since she is 16. | ||

You can't put sports in and out of olympics. No one will be playin sc2 after 100 years. there will be sc3 or sc4 or something else. something tells me you didnt quite make your way through the op. and starcraft 3 or 4 after 100 years? lolz. | ||

However, due to some errors in the code, the were a lot of cancels that people discovered that have lead to the game that you see in that video. If you're more interested in the mechanics, I can try answering that to the best of my ability, but it's rather hard to describe and would take quite a while to explain. I'm willing to tell people if they're interested, though. It'd be nice to contribute to that community somehow since it's quite dead atm. Those gunz videos are making me incredibly nauseous, I'm not sure if its the editing, the gameplay itself or a mixture of both. But I certainly can't watch those videos for longer than a minute. | ||

And there is/has been some borderline ridiculous sports in Olympics so e-sports like they as well pointed out wouldn't be that far off from the mark once our generation is older and deciding these things. To me e-sports in Olympics wouldn't make less sense than old fat men shooting guns or princessess riding horses at least. Unless if it's LoL that they decide to play then this is just silly. | ||

Some day in the distant future it just might be reality though. I really don't like the way they introduced the idea though, as if it was the biggest joke they have heard with the "thats sad" etc. And there is/has been some borderline ridiculous sports in Olympics so e-sports like they as well pointed out wouldn't be that far off from the mark once our generation is older and deciding these things.
