as much as it would be cool to see sc2 in the olympics i don't think it belongs there. The olympics is a celebration of physical sport (yes even shooting requires quite a bit of physical activity) whereas all e-sports is much more a mental challenge. When we play sc2 we don't get physically challenged (unless you are smashing ure mouse too hard!) but it requires alot of effort on a mental effort.

In my opinion the Olympic games are all about physical sports. I wouldn't want to see SC2 there, as much as that would be awesome.

Why not? They already have very unphysical events like curling, shooting etc.

Yes. Just like they pick new sports for Olympics all the time.

If ESPORTS would have a time slot on Olympics, games wound't be a problem. Cuz Companies would create games that are hard/complicated just like SC2, for exposure.

I've lost interest in the Starcraft 2 e-sports scene and nothing will rekindle my interest.

I don't play LoL.

I love Tetris though!

It would be cool to see, but I can't decide if I think it is an olympic sport. To me, if Starcraft II is in there, then we can start including things like music because professional musicians practice 5+ hours a day and then rehearse for 3+ hours and it is very difficult and requires physical and mental health. So I'm not sure what I think.

You're right but honestly the more exposure professional Starcraft gets the better. With that in mind I would love to see it in the Olympics.

Because it doesn't? Saying that SC2 "takes vastly more skill" is just an insult to Olympian athletes.


Your post is an insult to Top SC2 progamers.


-_-

This has to be a joke. Name one single (edit: Olympic) sport that takes less skill than Starcraft 2.

I love playing SC2 but let's be serious, this would be a terrible idea and would never happen anyway.


equestrian, shooting


lol? you would make grandmasters before you become an olympic shooter. guarantee you miss 99 if not 100% of your shots.

just end this thread. bunch of hopeful nerds trying to put something where it doesn't belong.

Just have your own Olympics for games. Like they have for disabled people.

I feel we need to first introduce a game like Dance Dance Revolution first if we're going to introduce any videogame as an olympic event. DDR's requirement of fancy footwork and coordination blends physical and mental aspects in a way that will better ease the general public into watching videogames as olympic-level competition.

It even has potential for singles, doubles and direct one versus one competition. With Asia's ever-growing populace and inevitable total control of the world it will happen.

Video games just don't fit there. Besides, most of them are imbalanced(well, maybe tetris isn't).

E-sports has its own niche, but it's not within olympic games.
