The only reason they did this was for publicity and travel expenses. The only reason it was accepted due to the "Everything is becoming more technological" reasoning.
My viewpoint:
LOL, it's just a game calm down.

Look at the fanbase, look at the prize money, look at the people watching streams. LoL LCS has more followers then 50% of the olympic sports.
Sports requires training, teamwork and a whole bunch of those elements, e-sport requires just as much, maybe on a different platform, but it should be an Olympic sports.
... fail.
A 350 pound fat **** who sits in a chair for 20 hours a day and never sees the light of day can quality for the olympics?
Not saying all LoL players are like this.. just giving an example.
Olympics has always been about athletics .-. This is such a downer.
It would be okay for there to be a "World League of Legends Championships", but why put this in the olympics?
The term "e-sports" is truly so ****ing retarded.
The reason why they consider it as an OFFICIAL sport is because A LOT of people have migrated to the United Stated of MERICA to participate in the tournaments. Immigration noticed a lot of people came to play tournaments, and ever since then, they consider it as an official sport.
But the Olympics is going to far. Yes, it's fun, yes you got to think of what your moves will be, but it's not a sport.
I'm still waiting for the day when LoL closes and kids going to suicide
It would be funny to watch the Olympics and see all the sports activities and then for it to switch over to game play commentary for LoL.
i dont see how gunz doesnt have this much popularity.
honestly i think gunz takes out any game skill wise.
learning all these different styles and techniques, its like learning how to dance or some shit XD
its an old game and the community died down but i feel like it should be a game that should kept alive cause the gameplay is so unique, its like no other game
the game devs of gunz and ceo of maiet never intended the gameplay to be like this, so they dont know and never will know what to make of it. So any patches and updates maiet does is a hit or miss type of thing. As long as they cant relate to the players of the game cuz they never made the gameplay themselves, the game will always be in the dumps
