doesn't quite promote "harder faster stronger" unless you're talking about hand speed and mouse clicks. | ||

You need a brain for physical sports aswell you know. It's not just about the body. Without the brain there would be no "harder faster stronger". Infact it's the brain that provides the willpower that is needed to train like for example Usain Bolt to be able to be "harder faster stronger" and win. Same as people who play eSport games professionally need the willpower to be a BoxeR, Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, DRG, NesTea, MVP, MMA, MC, NaNiwa, Stephano............... the list goes on. You can be both harder, faster and stronger mentally. Not just physically. | ||

You can be both harder, faster and stronger mentally. Not just physically. Remember when Hero was playing, I think versus Puma and they had those heartrate devices on? Hero had like ~120bpm if I remember correctly, that's a hell of a strain for moving the mouse "a bit"... SC2 is mainly of course brain power, but there's still some physical strain! | ||

olympics are about real sports, about real athletes, about people competing in physical sports, and it should be this way. esports has nothing to do with real physical sport and should NOT be in the olympics whatsoever | ||

You're not really promoting video games as a sport if you say both video games and physical sports require players to be "harder, faster, stronger" mentally, but that the former doesn't have the physical counterpart. In which case, then it's just relegated down to what Chess is in the overall olympic scene: Not included. I agree that since this game or esports in general do not have the physical "harder faster stronger" aspect, it just doesn't deserve nor has a place in the Olympics. | ||

People who don't use the bar in ITG simply don't exist because it simply isn't possible to do the most difficult of the difficult without it. Also it's funny because the video he posted was nowhere close to "difficult" in terms of high end ITG/Pump it Up. | ||

I lift regularly, and it would be insanely difficult for me to draw one of the bows being used at the Olympics. Yes, I agree. You clearly haven't drawn a real or a competitive bow before. Neither are actually challenging physically in any way shape or form. It's holding your aim steady that's difficult. | ||

WCG is nothing like Olympics, it's an individual competition, and there are way less games than sports in Olympics.. | ||

First off the games here are nothing compared to real sports so its stupid. If it was a game like brood war then it would be fine, cuz its much much harder then any normal game. But a game thats hard enough for me to for it to be in the olympics, pretty much has to be an rts, cuz fighting games and fps dont take as much skill. And even then it has to be on brood wars level. | ||
