LoL is just another crappy dota remake that will eventually die out to dota 2. | ||

It's holding your aim steady that's difficult. I actually do archery and it doesn't require a strength atthe beginning, but at the end you get tired and if you're not strong enough you start doing bullshit. I do really want to see sc2 atthe olympics. Some might say that it isn't physical, but is rifle physical? | ||

Assuming Olympic Athletes were in a vacuum they would score a 10 most of the time. | ||

Doesn't deserve to be as its not physical enough, imo Olympic should be physical. I don't think shooting should be an Olympic sport, unless shooting is physical in some way that I don't know about. Additionally, there is a shit ton of other sports which deserve to be in Olympic sport way before SC or any video game. Eposrts is tiny when compared to other sports. | ||

But in an e-sport balance plays a part. There's a certain thing called doping that affects the balance in physical sports. Guess you forgot about that. | ||

I don't want Esports to drop to the level of physical strength. Esports are about sheer strategic insight, timings and reaction at a competitive level. They belong more to chess and checkers than to rowing and archery. However, I wouldn't mind a globally oriented Esports event every 4 years with the same prestige as the Olympics, but they should be separate from the physical Olympics because the audience and the athletes are just at a completely different cultural level (with the exception that the athletes all practice like hell and the audience enjoy watching their respective (E)sports). | ||
