That's a dumb reason. That being said, e-sports have no place in the Olympics. I mean shit, I like fighting games for example, but Street Fighter does not belong in a space of physical competition.

No one wants to watch some angsty faggots swear at each other like they have Tourettes. Glad they kept this cringey shit away from the Olympics.

>>389037062
Power walking is also known as race walking.

The Marathon is a run or a walk, typically the former especially in an Olympic setting. Running - unlike walking - consistently has the individual taking flight time during their activities. Flight time is defined as any time the individuals two feet are not touching the ground. Whenever you see someone run, you will notice they will occasionally be airborne for a handful of milliseconds while their stride has them move one foot back and one foot forward.

Power/Race walking, however, involves always having at least one foot in contact with the ground - which, in motion, is the very definition of walking.

Of course, you'd already know this is you took the time to read dunceanon's post, googled it, or even knew it off hand because he quite literally said one of the two English terms for the activity; especially considering the fact you had the bravado thereafter to call him stupid (which he probably is because, let's face it, this is /v/).

Better luck next time with reading English. I know they push it hard in your school since it's the only way out of whatever dirt exporting country your from.

"Timeless" doesn't mean old, stupid. It means the rules and conditions required to play can be replicated consistently. The only sort of video games that fit this definition are ones like Tetris, and only barely at that. No one is going to be competitively playing CS:GO or Dota or whatever in the year 2600, and it may not even be possible to play those games exactly the same way they are played today.

Alright you dorks, name a SINGLE video game worth being in the Olympics.

Hard mode: it has actual players

It's just stupid, watching people play vidya is just boring on the average viewer, even more than watching those stupid horse dancing contests.
They also have to think of the people actually watching it at the stadium, some events are great to look at because you can see the athletic gestures, the intensity and whatever, videogames is just nerds at a pc mashing buttons(to the average person).

Also, and I'm being honest here, most gamers are petty manbabies with no fairplay and that frankly flies in the face of Olympic values as much as doping and slave labour.

No, not really. Your example is good though, and gymnastics is stupid for about the same reason.

Stop fooling yourself. In order to be making money from e-sports you need to have absolutely no life and spend 10 hours a day playing, some people are just talented at sports.
But in vidya games the twitchy fast asian fucks with 9000 clicks per minute prevail.

Normal people will never respect you and you are not developing physically nor mentally from e-sports.
you just become more sick from setting 10 hours a day and develop back pains.

If we need to explain to you the difference between a real sport vs e-sports than it's too late for you, or you are too young.

most e-sports are violent, yes, murdering pixel men makes you develop the kind of a retard mentality, watch the fighting game scene. its pathetic and they are all just angry sad little virgins, you want your kid to think they are idols ? and spend 10 hours a day infront of a computer screen ? i doubt that.
i would rather my kid get fit and do real sports like a normal person, vidya games sports are pathetic and future generations only become more stupid.

>>389042509

>>389036449
The 50km deathmarch is the best event to watch though. If you picked a game to play at the Olympics it'd only be really understood by people who play that game. So even if they picked something like LoL or CS:GO or whatever no one but those who already watch and play it will give a fuck.

>>389042506

it's true. the fact that more kids watch LoL finals than NBA means jack shit. there are more beta fag kids than there are normal kids, does it have a place as a giant money making industry ? of course.
does it have a place as a fucking olympic sport ? no and it will never happen. because it's just too sad.
if i would spend my younger years on normal kid stuff i would develop much faster and not be some edgy beta cuck until im 30.
it's trueeeeeeeeeeee anon say it.

I don't even see why not. Sports aren't just about physical prowess. Being able to show precision, tactics, fast reactions, planning etc are things the Olympics also include.
The various shooting disciplines for instance. Even archery, while admittedly requiring some strength to handle the bow, is more about the skill with that bow and your precision.

The Winter Olympics even has Curling. Fucking Curling!

Honestly the olympics is becoming a joke so why not. They actually considered removing wrestling last year to make way for more retarded "sports" like water polo or dressage. Literally one of the few remaining sports that has been in since the ancient greeks started it they went to remove.

>>389040319
Esports as a category are around to stay but he's got a point. The games with the greatest longevity so far have been Starcraft, Quake and CS, I think. Each of those has been around for almost 20 years but they've had updates, it hasn't been the same game the whole time. And in the case of Quake at least the game has been almost dead for years at a time throughout its lifetime. And id could be dissolved by Bethesda and the Quake brand buried forever at any moment. SC and CS are big cash cows for now but the same could be true for them some day. If they allowed esports into a general sports event you'd have the problem that it would be a selection of different games from one event to the next. Video games' life cycles are short. How would you solve this? How would you establish a video game as a spectator sport for non-gamers, similar to how football is watched by people who haven't done any sports in 20 years, if no game sticks around for more than 10 years in the same iteration?

>>389045323
Yes. Normality is a spook anyway so who fucking cares.

>>389045331

All video games are the wrong kind of games.

>The simple fact that professional players are massively better at games than non-professionals shows that there is skill involved

Some fat guy or a malnourished manlet repetitively clicking a button for 10 hours straight is not what I call "professional".

Looks like kids at never gonna watch the Olympic's

>>389045772
Why not? Professional just means you're engaged or qualified in a profession, physical status doesn't influence or change this in a lot of cases, such as e-sports.

>E-lympics
That legitimately sounds like a special olympics spinoff.

The Greeks were gay pedos tho

You know, that's a good point. Boxing shouldn't be in the olympics.

>you are not developing physically nor mentally from e-sports.

I fucking hate that "esports" nonsense as well, but you do know that real sports tend to ruin the athletes' health as well, right?
"physically developing" my ass.

Wait, no. They're not actually going to allow sports-themed video games into the Olympics, right? That's too stupid.

Overwatch pros looks disgusting. Funny how the most weeb shooter (Spaltoon) has better looking pros.

Why are people in the thread acting like playing sports makes you a better person?

This. No other sport at the Olympics ruins your body.

Don't knock death march m8.

If you haven't seen it I fully recommend you watch it. Mens' souls were being crushed, people that were trying their hardest only to succumb to the heat, and wheel chairs for finishers of a 50km walk through hell itself.

Fucking Koreans, man.

>>389056369
That made it 10x more cringe.
Stop trying to make e-sports "cool".
