SO Nerds are trying to get Video Games into Olympic Competition

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

so...

I'm a gamer and I love games. I even watch the FGC videos and know of a lot of the famous FGC players. However, for some reason I have a problem with this.

Those nikkas are deep though, those League of Legends cats fill up domes with their stans

They will consider it for the money.

A lot of the popular players make over six figures.

 

[SuperNintendo Chalmers]

Yo. NBA 2k and Gears of War Multi Player in the Olympics is about to be lit.

 

[MaccabeanRebel]

Hope it makes it..just don't put games like Madden or 2k in it. Put shooters and strategy games

I heard they want poker in the Olympics. I would try to make the poker team.
They let you bet on esports on draftkings so I tried it out

 

[﹏﹏⛴﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏]

Esports does legit numbers and that can't be denied. Olympics been corrupt and is all about the money so if this happens, I won't be shocked or stunned.

If only this came out 10 years ago


Dad: Sean is 3 o clock in the morning and you still playing video games


Me: For gods sakes dad I'm training for the olympics



Dad: wow son you really dedicated huh


Me: hard work, dedication



Dad: that's my boy

6 years ago I was pulling a 3.5 k/d in Call of Duty, If someone told me I could eventually get a gold medal off of it I would've kept playing those damn games

 

[Fenian]

That's fukkin stupid. I love computer games but that shyt has its own competition and it isn't a sport anyway so keep it away from the olympics.

It's like darts. I love the game, playing and watching but I'm not trying to see it at the fukkin olympics.

 

[RoCKetSity256]

That gold medal for 2K cheesing!!!! Ima rep my country brehs.

Let me start training. #Murica2020 #WeInThere

 

[Larry Lobster]

They should add a fap marathon category.

 

[Rack4K]

Like its been already mentioned, if Chess is included why can't games? At least games forces you to use hand-eye coordination in real time.

 

[Big Boda]

Holy Shyt I'm about to be a world renowned athlete in this bih!

you see that DOA5 Online 73Win Streak Though!?!?

I got some black excellence for dat ahh if they make vidyagames olympic

Yeah and Counter Strike fills up arenas

I doubt this is something the players are trying to do more than it is something the orgs are trying to do. A lot of the people I know who play video games professionally criticize the orgs a lot and how more money involved in video games on a comp level has ruined it, at least FPS's like COD because they base the rule set and stuff like that on what will bring the most viewers
