Do you need to train very hard to reach the top? Do top video game athletes train as hard as Olympic athletes? What do you think about video game championships? Could they be considered sports? If so why? If not, why not? uk.ign.com/articles/2015/12/03/opinion-are-professional-gamers-athletes

I say they're games, (because you can be a fat lard & excel at all 3) but that's none of my business

Games don't really have the first sooo... But that's just semantics. I really don't give a damn and don't think it matters. Call 'em what you want. E-sports works just fine for me as it stands. Though perhaps one thing I'd say to bear in mind is that games unlike conventional sports aren't timeless. Even if say, League of Legends or Overwatch was still being played 10 years from now, saying you play those games then will mean something completely different to saying the same now because of patching and content updates. Most e-sport games are in a state of constant flux. Sure, meta changes happen in conventional sports and sometimes even rule tweaks can happen, but its not really the same thing.

So yeah, why not? You're not panting over it, but it isn't something casual or fun. Shooting, archery, golf, and fucking darts are considered sports, and they require far less physical exertion than something like hockey, football, or rugby. Hell, even racing is a sport and that's practically a game in itself. And in the end, aren't all sports really just games we can all have fun with? Competitive sports are just that level higher than playing football with your mates on the weekend.

A shitty waste of time that sucks and is for losers.

Doom isn't art, but Planescape: Torment is.
