I could see the kespa players slaying as much vagina as possible in the olympic village.

In the event eSports ever does make it into the Olympics, the game will be the most popular and most watched. So very likely to be 'League of Legends'.

Not to mention this game is constantly updated and has a long term sustainable revenue basis to keep the game constantly new and refreshed to a standard that gamers demand.

My personal opinion is that it shouldn't be in the Olympics, sure it would be cool and all but it doesn't fit into "Summer" or "Winter" Olympics, also I consider the Olympics as more of a physical battle.

[Typhoon]

It wouldnt be right for a video game to be an Olympic sport. It kind of defeats the purpose of the Olympics.

[FaDeBadger]

No, I would be extremely disappointed if it became an Olympic sport. It doesn't fit, the same way chess or poker or countless other non-active "sports" don't fit. eSports should remain their own thing.

umadbro?! jks aside tho... I think it is a horrible idea as I like to think of the Olympics as a competition about physical demanding sports

[Daboo]

I dont like the idea...even though we do have sports like shooting which are not really physical in nature, for some reason it does not fit there.

Besides that as someone mentioned, we dont even have chess or go in there which are the longest surviving mental games, and one of the grand old game of esports is ...10 years?

I feel like if it were possible then Chess would have been added long, long ago.

last i checked chess still is trying pretty hard to be included, several top players have quit because the chess tournaments are requiring regular drug tests (an Olympic requirement).

at the moment there is nothing close to a world body existing for competitive SC2 (unless blizzard wants to take on this role?) i think it would be a good thing for a world body to form to deal with things like contract disputes, disputes between tournaments and players, enforcing punishments on players/teams etc...

but at the olympics? no. whenever people bring up 'is eSports real sports?' crap, my answer is "yes, in the same way motor sports is." formula 1 won't be at the 2020 olympics, and neither will SC2.

It would be more beneficial for everyone involved if you started a cyberlympics offshoot which covered multiple gaming genres etc. You would however need to meet the criteria for the olympics to do that anyway. You would need a governing body, most likely multiple governing bodies in multiple countries. You would need high participation numbers for each game etc. You would also need a pretty deep pocket to bankroll it.
