You know where Starcraft would be on this list?

The thing is i want ESPORTS to grow just not STARCRAFT 2, thats what people have to learn about. League of Legends is the biggest game in the world right now, and it would open the gates for other games such as SC2 to enter. People have to stop fighting and arguing what game is better, and all get together and help each community grow as a whole because i feel like this time GAMING is at its peak.

Sorry ahead of time for bad grammar.

biased post is biased

everyones going to ahve there favourite game and fight tooth and nail for it, theres no way to really tell which game is bigger


People like you are really truly blind. How is it a biased post when i like STARCRAFT 2 more than i like League of Legends, you tell me? You can like Starcraft 2 but 5 other people would prefer League of Legends theres a big ratio comparison. Yes you can EASILY tell which game is better, which gets more VIEWERS? which one has more players actively playing it? which generates more income? Did you even read my post or just read the first 2 sentences?

how can you say with a straight face that LoL is 5 times more popular then SC2? how can you possibly say that?

like it or not LoL is a free game so obviously its going to have more players but that doesnt mean more people prefer it over SC2


You know why i can say that with a straight face? because it is? jesus christ you are really stubborn ITS FACTS that league of legends is more popular and is coming more sucessful by the day. Did you see the viewer count for MLG for league of legends? 110k people and starcraft 2 had 50-70 peak.. numbers dont lie

Both sports are popular, who gives a fuck which is better. Get over yourselves and stay on topic.

This is one of the reasons why i try to stay out of the Community side of Starcraft 2. I wrote a 2 paragraph talking about growing Esports and i get answers of. "how can you SAY THAT PROVE IT PROVE IT" "WHO CARES ABOUT WHICH IS MORE POPULAR" if you read what i wrote in the beginning it would all make sense

I dont support this. This is undermining the physical human at their best which is the olympics.
All the olympic sports is mental + physical. The mental part is staying true and dedicated and the true part is the physical heights of humans. Putting esports in would undermine the work and full body mind dedication of the other olympic sports.

Not to mention olympic sports risk physical injury and tax your entire body and mind.

-_-

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.

They shouldn't be in the olympics. the esports players would stick out like a sore thumb compared to the physical elite who train their bodys and minds 5+ hours a day.... just imagine them at the olympic village...

Ofcourse i would like to see starcraft at Olympics. I dont understand why the fuck No. Its discipline, where if you are better than your opponents (by hard training/beign smart and hard training/beign creative and hard training/all of those aspects) you deserve a win. So what makes it different or worse from other sports? Its completely same. I dont know how someone who is better than everyone in the world in decent sized competitors scene, doesnt deserve a medal. So yes, i want Starcraft at Olympics.

That will be hard though, Olympics are highly conservative.


Starcraft has little to nothing in common with any of the current olympic events.

The fuck is wrong with you people?

e-sports do NOT belong at the olympic games.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuu


Common..... what the fuck common things has Curling and Synchronized swimming.

And what is wrong with you, common thing is, you have to be better to win, sport is sport. e-sport is sport, just electronic.

While i can understand ppl who doesnt want esport at Olympics (they are reasons, i see the point) i cant stand someone who doesnt want it because......... "e-sports do NOT belong at the olympic games." reason.

Sorry, of the three options Tetris is the game most ready for the mainstream.

It's easy as hell to understand yet astoundingly difficult at high levels. If people can appreciate archery, they can appreciate Tetris.

I remember that list from a long time ago and let's just say there are a lot of people who don't agree with it. I could give two shits where Starcraft would end-up.

I'm talking about everything else and I'm sorry to say but their criteria and how they came up with those numbers is outrageous.

SC2 or LOL or any other game as an Olympic sport is a joke. I have to say that it will never be an Olympic sport. Baseball is a worldwide sport and its not even included in this and next Olympic event. No country supports eSports (except Korea), so I dont even know how this will make it to the Olympics. When the white dude said,"They believe tetris...etc...can probably be Olympic sport in 8 more years." was a joke. Who the hell is "They?"
