So I guess that's a sport, too!
Lol 'sport'
My thoughts on this are: "Are you smurfing kidding me? Jesus."
Signature by rubah. I think.
Do you even Rift, bro?
...I'll leave u_u
It's not. It's a condiment.
That's probably for the best.
Nvm, I got a rep. You're stuck with me now!
I will found out whoever repped you and then proceed to tar and feather them.
Completely depends on how you define sport.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
If by professional athletes you mean people with no lives who do nothing to contribute to society and sit on their butts playing games all day, then yeah.
Sounds like a good definition for professional athlete in general honestly.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
ahahahahahaha they could have at least picked a better game for this
as is I can't take it seriously though
The LCS is pretty damn huge in all honesty - it's not many other games that have an officially run league in their major territories with weekly matches in live broadcast shows. Bash LoL all you want but Riot have really done a better job of jumping on that opportunity than Blizzard or Valve have. There's really not that much that rivals it right now. Even StarCraft 2's World Championship Series isn't getting the viewership that the LCS is which is something to ponder considering how massive the original StarCraft eSports scene was in Korea which lead to the founding of KeSPA and pretty much put the likes of GomTV on the map.
As for the US classing them as athletes, it certainly solves a lot of permit/visa issues that organizers otherwise have to deal with. Just seems more like using a legal loophole to smooth the hosting of these events more than anything else.
Yeah but they could have at least picked a game like Aurora or something
I mean if chess is a sport then this is too
Stop being so sensible, Auly!
