You might have just not known that, since I didn't know there was a difference either until witnessing a surprised Canadian. | ||

Of course it's not at the level of global respect as the olympics are. VIDEO GAMES in general are a niche culture. And they do give medals at wcg so I'm not sure what you're talking about. If you want the same amount of global respect for video gaming as physical sports which have been around for thousands of years...keep dreaming | ||

We already have the World Cyber Games and it just feels the best model for an Olympic-like tournament. | ||

As crappy as I think LoL is to watch, if you have the opinion that LoL is so easy, why are you here instead of making a ton of money playing it? It's got a great competitive scene and while it's not my sort of game (to play) and I can't understand how anybody would want to watch it, you can't deny that there must be skill involved, or people like you would be earning the big bucks playing LoL  . | ||

Edit: But really though, as much as I enjoy the scene people need to stop thinking they can equate Esports with physical sports | ||

"Tetris? That's sad." Fuck you lady. Starcraft takes as much mental strength as any Olympic event takes physical, probably more. I wish I was born later, in a time when video games were accepted, instead of this bullshit with older generations of people acting like hot shit, treating video-games like children's toys. Edit: I'm not saying that video games should necessarily be treated like other sports, I just wish people would be more open-minded. | ||

I have no doubt that any current pro sc2 gamers would have an easier time playing LoL, especially foreign terrans because you dont need to multitask | ||

It's funny because I have something like 200 APM in LoL while all my friends have something like 20-40 and they are high rated xD | ||

That's how uneducated people on the east coast pronounce it. | ||

And on the west coast no less. And with people from vastly different parts of the country pronouncing it 'badmitten'. Though I wouldn't be surprised if there was somewhat more variation than I claimed despite having only ever met Canadians who pronounce it that way. edit: And as a general rule, if what got from your education was a love for prescriptivist grammar and pronunciation, you might want to ask for you money back. | ||
