Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “E-Sports As Fast As Possible”.
Esports organized competitions between both amateur and professional teams vying for a championship, title in various electronic video game, competitions, aka, a bunch of nerds holed up somewhere in a dank basement, crowning, a king of their van or whatever. At least. That seems to be the stereotype that detractors of competitive gaming and gamers default to arguing that eSports aren’t physical enough to bridge the gap from hobby or game to sport, despite the fact that if we replace electronic video games in my eSports definition with ball kicking activities, We could use virtually the same definition for traditional sports, many of the defenders of eSports, embrace the similarities to sports and will point out that both require training, coaching strategizing, lightning-fast decision-making, skills, teamwork and extremely practiced muscular reflexes. In order for competitors to achieve victory – and I mean besides, if curling ice, dance and synchronized swimming are gon na get a free pass, then why are we even talking about this? Well, I could just say, because they jelly drop the mic and walk offstage, but without several degrees in sports psychology I wouldn’t be qualified to speculate on any of that, so I’ll, stick to what we know empirically makes them so different or so similar.
One difference is the type of physical activity involved. There aren’t many eSports, where a higher you know, jumping height gives you a clear advantage, but while I personally favor sports for myself and as a parent for the many health benefits of regular physical exertion, we can’t really say Froot Loops, aren’t cereal because they’re not healthy Or something but Raisin Bran is when they really are more similar than they are different for starters. In the early days of sports broadcasting, ESPN’s founders had difficulty convincing established cable companies and the press that they’re all Sports Network would succeed. All of this, in spite of the popularity of sports for both participants and observers at all levels, from kids goofing around at home, with their friends to professionals competing in tournaments for cash prizes, sound familiar. So the main difference here is that, while it took a hundred years for the NHL to go from having one of their entire teams, the appropriately named 228 battalion literally call the way to fight in World War.
One to now their teams and athletes, making millions and enjoying Rockstar status eSports has completed this progression in a mere twenty or so years. We have TV deals either in place or coming around the world. Massive live exhibitions and revenues estimated at two hundred and fifty to six hundred plus million dollars for this year with MOBAs hoarding the lion’s share of that first person shooters taking silver and 2d fighting games in third. But if we’re going to talk, then about similarities to sports, we have to acknowledge the good and the bad, because eSports is not immune to the apparent requirement that wherever money is involved, there will be corruption with a recent ESL.
That’S an electronic sporting league scandal that had a prominent athlete, basically saying yeah. I was doping. Who cares everyone? Does it a plethora of online gambling and match-fixing scandals and a recent crackdown on high-level players using software hacks to cheat such as aimbots that simply identify other players in the game and pretty much shoot them for you right? The last one is particularly interesting for our sports vs. eSports comparison, because digital cheating methods have often been used by naysayers as an example of why competitive gaming shouldn’t be considered a sport. But does it matter how someone cheats, really I mean if using a digital camcorder or a bicycle pump or whatever, to get a leg up on your competition made? Whatever you were doing not a sport, then it would be pretty hard to call football. A sport, the New England, Patriots, a team or Tom Brady an athlete, but you know what should be a sport shaving and thanks to Dollar Shave Club, you guys can do a great job of shaving and feel good and save.
