Yeah I agree. The reason I don't think it will be in the olympics is because then its getting to the point where olympic events are commerials for specific video games. It would start to get into really shady territory when different games are all trying to become olympic esports, and how would the olympic comittee determine which games are? It would come down to a who bribes them enough to vote their game in and vote their competitors game out. Its not like Chess or something where any company in the world can make a chess set, it would be some video game publisher advertising their video game for anyone watching around the world. Its just way more complicated then say adding Women's Rugby or something
guess it'll have to be open source games, I hear those have thriving competitive communities

Video games will never be in the olympics but will have their own Big Event that is somewhat similar. In other words, just like what is already happening, but bigger and eventually more comprehensive.

I don't think there'll ever be something with as much ceremony as the olympics in esports and that's a really good thing tbh

As far as I see it, the Olympics are either the the premier sporting event for uninteresting sports, or a subpar event for major sports. Like swimming or athletics, it's the main deal. For things like Tennis or Soccer, there are bigger events.

Why would you want a national team level competition for video games every 4 years. That sounds more boring then the current set up.

For baseball (if they even still have olympic baseball) we send college kids instead of our pros. Its pretty big for Hockey, probably the biggest hockey thing. For basketball all the best players play, but its pretty much guarenteed US will win.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Olympic_Park

quote:

Before its transformation, a large part of Olympic Park was an industrial wasteland after more than a century of industrial and military activities on the site. The site was once home to a brickworks,[4] abattoir and an armaments depot as well as being the site for eight of Sydney's rubbish dumps. These activities resulted in a highly contaminated site with little natural ecology and a fragmented stream corridor. Sixty-five percent of the soils were required to be excavated and contained on-site.

Outside of the football playoffs, playoff hockey is the most exciting sport. The regular season in NHL is pretty lame, but playoffs, worldcup and olympics are all pretty fun to watch

Just because the competition/event is club based and not nationality based doesn't mean it should be thought as a different. If the Stanley Cup is bigger than the Olympics for Ice Hockey it's bigger rgardless. You wouldn't say American Football has no major competition/event becasue it's all club based.
