Vinh Ngo okay, I get that all games have limitations, but there's no way you can tell me you aren't seeing what he is getting at.. there is quite the gap between what you can do with the human body in real life and in that of games like call of duty or counter strike. All the games are severely limited human bodies because you have to be able to control it with a handful of buttons. If you could, say, shoot a grenade out of the air, adjust flashbang or drag throws perfectly, blind fire over objects without peeking your head out, etc. then maybe we could talk.. but there is no way to truly innovate the game because no amount of training could change the coding limitations. And although in real life we are limited by physics, in the game we are limited not only by physics engines, but also by any aspects of the game that were uncoded and technological limitations.

The fact you're calling that idiotic shows you're just as ignorant as the media is about esports. Now I'm not much of a fan watching esports or traditional sports but both should be respected just as much. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's idiotic. I'm a gamer and love playing games and getting a bit competetive about it and I dislike sports such as football and basket and whatnot simply because i find them boring in comparison. Yet I understand how people can enjoy it just as people can enjoy watching Leauge of Legends or Counter-Strike. They are both the same the only differance is one is virtual and the other not. Both can be entertaining if it's what you like and enjoy.

George Snell That's not entirely true. Developers and programmers can make mistakes resulting in bugs. And players have exploited those bugs.

It's RULES what limits all games, including sports. There isn't a single goal, like scoring a goal on soccer, you have to do so with your feet, you limitations as to where you can pass the ball, it is in a confined area, etc.. it's these limitations that make the games exciting in the first place, it's a stupid argument from the media. JSmellerM If I remember correctly, those teams were punished and the money taken away from them and that hasn't happened since, the scene was still pretty new while most sports have been competing for dozens if not a hundred years. There were still some rumors of cheating in CS:GO pro scene, so IDK, but they are exceptions.

There is also flaws in the rules that account for the exact same things as bugs. First idea that pops into my head is this past football season where the Ravens head coach had their guys hold the other team on the punt until there was no time left to run out the clock. Totally unfair and doesn't make sense. Same things with bugs, and the best thing is that they can both be fixed relatively easily. Also you may just agree with the guy above so sorry if this sounds like a direct attack.

Of course athletes would naturally be sympathetic to professional gamers, that's because real recognizes real. Unlike most of these chumps.

here is my reaction to this "I am not a friend of eSports" That's fine "It's video games" I know "It shouldn't be on a sport network" I agree it shouldn't be on a regular sports network, but not that it shouldn't be treated like one "It's video games" I noticed "By a large degree there's limitations on what you can do based on the programming right" Yes. It's called rules. In basketball you can't run outside the field. That's a rule. Programming is rules that can't be broken (unless you hack) "It's still not a sport, it's a game" Football is a game. Basketball is a game. Clue is a game. Wait what was I talking about? "Do you have statistics on how many of those people also go to Star Trek conventions" You say that like an insult (I don't like Star Trek BTW... don't hurt me) "I can't think of anything less insteresting" That's fair. I find watching basketball pretty boring. (don't hurt me please) "KZread Gaming is the new KZread platform on which people who play video games can watch other people who play video games" And CBSSports is the platform on which people who play football can watch other people who play football "And of course I made fun of this because there are people watching other people play video game" There are people watching other people play football, basketball, golf, soccer, and more! "That can't be good for you, you're staring at a screen" Well while your not getting much phycial workout, staring at a screen is fine. Anyway you're sitting at your chair. You're getting less workout than someone gaming. You're still fit aren't you.

We're a different generation. Why the fuck do people in different generations criticize us? Do we know our parent's mental functions? Their thoughts? Then why do they even try to understand ours?

This is the exact reason why I was never allowed to have my desktop PC in my room, and why my main passion for the past 15 fucking years has been disregarded this whole time. My parents never cared that I made extremely important friendships just by playing games, and they just forced me to have the desktop in the noisiest, non-private room in the house where they could always see the screen just to know exactly what I was doing. The computer to them was just a tool for checking email every week, and letting their 'other' kid occupy themselves with it (as long as I was doing something perfectly safe and boring). It was so bad in the late 00s, that my mom didn't allow me to play Runescape just because of what one player said in chat, so I could only play when no one was home, or if I could switch to another tab if someone walked in. Only having a passion for gaming, and being limited on what I could do online/what I could play/who I could talk to, has had bad psychological effects over 15 years, while, whaddaya know, my friends who could do anything they wanted in the comfort of their room and could pursue their passions without being harassed by their parents, turned out better than me judging by how they are going to good universities and studying tech and that. Since I've finally gotten old enough to do what ever I want, trying to get to Global in CSGO, and trying to spend as much time as possible playing games is pretty much meaningless now since all my friends don't play anymore, and like I said, go to uni. My parents ruined and stomped on my gaming passion so hard, that I had to compensate for it by getting myself into classical music and history, but those fields also require years and years of knowledge and passion, so thanks a lot, parents. If I were to have kids, I would never stand in their way of something like this even if I didn't understand it. It's just so frustrating how their ignorance ruined something so god damn important to me. But that's life. /end rant.

As a semi-professional football player and Gamer, I can tell you that Esports is a sport. Esports is extremely hard and requires huge mental and physical focus, which is the same us football athletes require as well, it also requires a good IQ like football to succeed in it. Its just these older Generations and their backward minded views of the world, the worl is progressing forward while they fall behind.

The only difference I find between sorts and eSports is one requires a lot more game knowledge while another requires physicality. They both are fun to watch, have two teams playing against each other, take skill, require strategy, require teamwork, have dedicated teams, can be done casually and professionally, draw in consumers, are GAMES, and take practice to perfect. Just because a football player can strain themselves or an ESports player has to study changing limitations of the game doesn’t make them so different.

Okay, as someone who has participated in 'real' sports, esports, and mental games (I.E. chess on a semi-competitive level) esports are not sports.. I don't know why that makes everyone so angry... there's nothing wrong with that. I love watching esports in certain games as much or more than watching some of my favorite sports on tv. But you must recognize that esports are esports. They aren't 'sports' and that's okay! It doesn't devalue them in any way, it just distinguishes the skills involved. Sure, it's hard to train your reaction time and muscle memory to hit flicks and whatnot, but there is no way that you can legitimately compare that to being in peak physical condition to performing on the field. Therefore esports participants are not athletes, they're e-athletes. It also astounds me that there is such anger over this.. I've never seen a poker or chess player get angry that they're not called athletes, and yet everyone respects the skills they must use in their game.

Tommy Clark You are insanely incorrect. If you consider poker to be a sport, which it is recognized as such nationally, then esports is sports. You actually can compare esports to "sports" esports athletes often spend as much if not far more hours practicing and training. Yes it's less physically intensive, but strategy games like Dota and LoL require far more mental coordination and dexterity than football ever will. Esports events are now reaching the level of national sports attendance wise. Players travel across the world and practice for days and nights without stopping, they have to handle defeat and have massive determination because we all know that these top esports do NOT come easily as the skill gap is massive. A player who just starts playing a game that has been out for a long time will have to practice for years to even reach the level of skill of some of the top players on these games. Do some research before you post ignorant comments. p.s.- no one cares about chess

That first clip. Well the limitations with soccer or football are pretty big too. Can even go over a little white line.

How dare the government consider games athletes, what are they gonna do with that? Get athletes visas to compete in international tournaments with million dollar prize pools? Why would they need that?

The more people that dont know about how big esports is going to be the more money we can invest and get from the sport

We gamers deserve respect

Have you played any video games? Yes asteroids

"its a game, its not sport." every sport started as a game......

like what the old saying "people tend to hate things that they dont understand"

"Video games are just a game" "Football *game*. Soccer *game*. Baseball *game*" [Insert Emperor Palpatine's "Ironic"]

Letting them know the amount of money influx into the industry is the only way to make these people understand.

as a dota player this hurts my feelings a lot

Omfg the second part when he showed plays and the volume went up and down, that was so triggering

If they don't like it good for them, it's freedom of expression

i love how they actually, like, get MAD because they cannot for the love of god fathom. it's hilarious.

so much respect for Rick Fox now

It involves communication and team work. It's also fun. Every other "real" sports involves that.

I love how professional athletes talk highly of esports

I'm starting to accept the fact that previous generations will never understand concepts that weren't around when they were young. When these people were younger, there were things that the generation above them couldn't understand, like rock music or something. I'm sure when I'm older ill complain about something because it may seem stupid to me when I'm more likely blinded by ignorance, hope I don't but I imagine I will. I appreciate those who are able to be accepting of concepts like esports.

I think the real question is what defines a sport? Does it have to be only physically challenging? Sometimes people aren't very athletic so they look towards video games to be somebody or just to have fun.

I'm a college athlete and I don't play games but I enjoy watching eSports.

You are right gaming isn’t sports it’s something better than sports.

"it shoudnt be" GUESS WHAT BOI, ITS HERE AND ITS COMING.

At least the Colin guy still said some proper games, even though his game is not an Esport grade games. Could be worse: >Have you ever play a game? >Yea >what is it? >*Candy Crush*

I'd love to see these people saying "its simple thumb movements" face ByuN in starcraft 2.

0:53 Well many people play basketball and many people watches the nba isn't that like the same thing.

Omg that guy played asteroid what a competitive game

2:10 because being an esport gamer it doesnt take a lot of concentration, dedication, practice and preparation

anything you have to play on any sort of computer will never be in the same category as american football, basketball, soccer, but it should keep the name esports. there is a line, and if u play competitive real sports and competitive video games youll know the difference. apart from that, the atmosphere and enthusiasm are comparable so obviously esports deserve the same respect, but dont put them in the wrong category

btw i do not believe poker or chess should be categorised as sports

I mean they show Poker on Espn which is a mental sport, exactly comparable to what Esports are. Though videogames aren't as physically demanding, they do everything else that you would in a sport, practice, rosters, coaches, tournaments, and competitiveness. The world is becoming more digital, sports need to make room for this growth.

"its people watching other people play video games!" Later goes home and watches someone else play football

I'm just waiting for the esports Olympics. A gigantic tournament with like 15 different games.

Here's how I see it there is a spectrum that sports are played on with physicality on one side which is more football basketball and your traditional sports and there are mental sports like chess or esports but they are all sports

This is my world, your world, OUR world. E-sports is the future

Believe it or not, most technological industries like game developers earn more than typical professional surgeons that exists in this world, opinions can never be wrong or right, but the main factor is to respect gaming industries regardless, if we wanna argue we could talk about how AI can take over surgical businesses by far or any other business constitutions

I fucking love it when some of these people actually stick up for eSports as a legitimate thing

According to dictionary.com, a sport is: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature. Therefore, gaming is not a sport.
