The sports where the highest levels of competition are found in the olympics usually are extremelly boring and no one cares about it other than a select few, and the country who dominates that sport at the time of their domination. Adding ANYTHING that is remotely cool, can only benefit the olympics, because atm, its one of the most boring and useless shits of mankind | ||

No need to consider similar games that isn't as popular. Period. | ||

I personally don't think any video game should ever be part of the Olympics unless they create a whole new set of games (ie Summer, Winter and Cyber). I watch SC2 more than I watch any other sport and I love it, but I still think the Olympics should be reserved for athletes in the classic sense on the word (I also disagree with "sports" such as shooting being in the Olympics as there is no physical exertion involved (unless I'm really missing something about it)). You go get a gold in shooting, then come back and tell us how easy it is  | ||

Computer games in the Olympics, what are you guys smoking? Computer games should never be in any athletic sporting competition/events. It has next to no athletic ability needed. You just sit down and play a video game. | ||

No eSports in Olympics. Olympics for sports.

People already enjoy it plenty. Although you're from Brazil, so I imagine you're still bitter about that loss to Mexico | ||

Are sports just better than eSports to you guys, and so you attempt to find every possible reason to label this game as a sport because you believe it is unworthy otherwise? No eSports in Olympics. Olympics for sports. Unfortunately for you, most of the world doesn't agree with you. People already enjoy it plenty. Although you're from Brazil, so I imagine you're still bitter about that loss to Mexico Dont realy give a crap, theres a reason Brazil has never won a gold medal at soccer, its because we dont give a fuck Only thing that matters in this world is UFC Belts and World Cups | ||

Olympics is once 4 years, what's the lifespan of most video games? I mean.... though SC2 probably make it to 2020, it's far from given, and how many Olympics do we realistically expect it to be in? Also I don't see how something that is dependent on a private company can work for IOC. I'd imagine every patch / update would need to be approved by IOC? It's literally a political hellhole. What if the said company went bankrupt? If something like WCG - non lamed edition Or a hybrid yearly global competition with both real sports and esports, I can support that. | ||
