next Olympic sports...?

[UserX]

You know nothing of e-sports. You described the stereotypical 90's PC gamer, the majority of pro's are skinny Koreans. Blizzard would want Starcraft in there since it's one of the biggest e sports out there.

It takes a metric shit ton of skill and practice to stay at the top of starcraft, not to mention the mental aspect of it. Were talking 3 races with more than 10 units each, every one has an opposing unit that can counter it, and you have to remember and control each one perfectly. It's basically a more complicated, faster paced version of chess.

All of that said, e sports don't belong in the Olympics any more than chess does. It takes no physical skill outside of your fingers.

I don't play video games but can almost understand the viewership angle. However...I still can't see video games as a sport, but neither are many Olympic games.

Regardless...I'll ignore most of the olympics again

You could say that again.
