Is e-sports an actual sport?
It requires skill, a team effort, and it is entertaining.

Is debating an actual sport?
It requires skill, a team effort, and is entertaining.

define what a sport is first faggot

if we go by the first dictionary definition

> noun
>1.an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.

then no

PIGGY OINK OINK

Well if Kevin De Bruyne does it I guess it is a sport

>skill
>competitive nature
So it is then?

>>Sup Forums

dota is a sport
league of legends is a game

Both are basically the same

Is archery a sport?
Is shooting a sport?
They're both olympics sports

>Call yourself a sport
>Don't want coaches because they're "cheating"

Nice """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Sport""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

that's like saying rugby and american football are the same

God. Imagine the smell in that building.

not much different from a liverpool match desu senpai

Yes.

Its competitive and extremely difficult, but its not a sport

...

>sitting around and moving your hand one centimeter in any direction
>sport

...

Both are no skill shitters

There is quite a lot of athleticism required for both of those

Fuck off babby, play a real man sport

This is a sports board

I have no idea what either of those two is

Delete this

>aiming and shooting
>athleticism

dunno about shooting but archery requires athleticism, if your conditioning isn't good you may shoot fine at first but after a few arrows you won't control your muscles and you'll be shooting all over the place
arguing about what constitutes a sport is autistic and gay anyway

>Aoki
>father owns a large hibachi chain
>Bilzerian
>father was a rich dude who left his fortune to him

I'm guessing the other 2 aren't that far off?

>implying a limp wristed cs "pro" could pick up, let alone fire a rifle or a bow

Starcraft SC and Dota are esports

HS, LoL and Rocket League are jokes mascarading as esports

I'll show you how limp my wrists are as I snap your neck.

Keep trying to talk shit.

suprisingly most cs go pro players look normal and fine from what I saw but wont say the same for league pros

He's a big guy

kek

nothing hard about firing a rifle

>athletic activity

>playing with wallhack on
wtf

Apologize

>left his fortune to him
he literally stole his dads money and send him to prison

...

...

One is a woman. The other got rich working for a smart man, opened his own hedge fund, and is struggling to make a profit because he no longer works for the smart guy

The entirety of track & field could be ruled out by "opponents not having direct influence over each other's performance". Shit chart, also sage.

Turns out she's a poker player. How come women don't play card games?

What if I'm bouncing my legs up and down the entire match? Then does it count?

What the fuck was his problem?

Loko

>reminder that the tokyo games were presented by a nip coming out of a Mario tube
So esports olympic game confirmed?

>this fgt has an athletic scholarship to a D1 school in street fighter

>or, not and

Speedrunning is not a sport.

csgo or smash bros pros look like normal people
other games they look like pussies

Is car racing a sport?

>Hearthstone has $100k prizewinning tournaments

might as well flip a coin

It's not. It doesn't require a sufficient amount of manipulation of the body. Car racing isn't a sport either for the record.

>skill
This takes skill.
Fishing doesn't use physical prowess. Golf doesn't use physical prowess. Chess is a sport, ya'know.
Games + Competition = Sports

i don't think he's referring to e-sports as a collective plural, my guy. it's just the terminology

i hate these guys.

No, it contains no aerobic nor anaerobic component. It should be referred to as games, as opposed to sports.

For the same reason I think chess and golf shouldn't be considered sports

>neither aerobic nor anaerobic
care to explain that one, kiwi?

regardless, no, esports != sports.

Is motorcycle racing considered a sport? MotoGP, TT Isle of Man?

Frankly, if a competitor's not even putting in the exertion of racewalking, what he/she doing shouldn't be called a sport.

Laser tag? Yeah that qualifies as a sport, Starcraft? No.

>manipulation of the body

F1 drivers are among the fittest athletes in the world. If an average person drove at that speed the G forces alone would snap their neck, let alone being stuck in a 50 degrees cockpit for over an hour wearing heavy protective gear.

This is the ideal athlete.

Lol as a balkan you should have fired a rifle. Doesn't require any strength at all.

Marn had some flesh eating disease that was consuming his legs at that point. He couldn't hop down because of it but apparently he's okay now.

this is what peak performance looks like

You're retarded

Still remember this. That comeback was amazing and definitely solidified it as a sport for me. I felt the same emotion and passion as watching my favorite sport soccer.

Csgo pros actually surprisingly tend to me normal/fit and socially normal as well. Cant say the same for Dota and league weabs.

who was in the wrong here?

esport pros might be skinny but I don't see how they can be fit after spending thousands and thousands of hours sat at a computer

is this the natty limit?

What do qts like her do at gaming conventions?
