The International Olympic Committee aka the IOC aka the Supreme Shitlords of the Olympics have announced that "“esports” should absolutely be considered a sport."
Look at that finger speed! The agility! The precision!
Essentially, what they are saying, is that esports = any sport that is in the Olympics. In my opinion, I think this is pretty whack. Yes, esport pros train a lot to become the Candide's of their respective video games. Yes, every pro in Counter Strike would shit on me blindfolded while using dial-up. Does that mean they belong on the same stage as the skiers, boarders, or anyone else that participates? No.
