Just wanted to point something out. First of all, my profile image is funny. On the second hand, eSport is, to me, a real sport. Not in a physical way, but in the fact that if you want to win a match (a game here), you have to use all the skills you have, alone or with your mates. In sports, I'll take the exemple of football right here, 11 guys do their best TOGETHER to win the match against 11 other people who are doing their best too. They use tactics and skills that enable them to win. They earn a lot of money when they do it in a pro way. In eSport (I'll take the exemple of League of Legends) 5 guys are trying their best to win against 5 other guys who try their best too. They use tactics, work together, and prove their skill level every day to every one (as in football). Now, pointing that out, I just don't know how eSport is not recognized as a real Sport in most countries. I can understand some point of views about the fact that there's no physical activity in playing video games. Well try to train about 3 or 4 hours (which is not a lot for pro players), doing your BEST to win, trying all those moves and stuff. You'll see, you'll be kinda tired too.
Im having shiver beacaus i know what kind of feeling this is, Sadly im not into Esport anymore im a Racer now, But i miss this so much it was a dream, I achived it,I wanted more i got it its one of my biggest acomplishement in life, and i shall remember it for ever. And i wish this to everyone else i miss you ESPORT, I shall com back one day. Thanx you so much again and to everyone that i played with and every team that gave me my chance to prove myself. Thanx everyone who read this comment.
There has been an increase in the application of the term 'sport' to a wider set of non-physical challenges such as electronic sports, especially due to the large scale of participation and organised competition, but these are not widely recognised by mainstream sports organisations. So this is a sport. This! Is! ESPORT!
Professional Gamers are athletes. Look up athlete in the dictionary. Football is a game. League of legends is a game. baseball is a game, dota is a game. They all have pro leagues sanctioned by the US government that grants visas to players from over seas who are scouted by team owners/managers. (yes eSport teams have owners and managers) This is called an athletic visa that you can only get if you are playing a professional sport supported by your government. oh and by the way, "people don't seem to like it" over 100 million people LOVE IT. As supported by logistical data reviewed this year in 2013 that eSports as a whole industry is a muti-billion dollar power house out earning the film and music industry combined. ~~ Everything I said is all fact that can be looked up and fact checked. ((this was part of my reply to someone who didnt know anything about eSPORTS))
No video have ever touched me like this. Touched to tears, ill favorite this video. This goes by my tabu " I'm a Gamer forever, together with my lads till i die". Thanks for letting me confirm my love for gaming once more. Sincerly, a Gamer
J'en ai limite les larmes aux yeux, on sent la passion et l'enjaillement derrière tout ça. Vos engagements me rendent nostalgique. Bande de champions, vous méritez le même succès que le le numéro 1 mondial. Continuez, avec la même pérennité, sans cesser. #UnFanBelge. ♥
Living your life through virtual reality and living on planet earth is to different things. This is coming from a person that played video games all summer up Intill the 7th grade. The rush you feel when you play a game isn't the same as when you speed down a mountain or climb up it with a bike,or almost Getting hit by a car,running from dogs,hopping fences ect. Esports is not a sport, and professional gamers are not athletes.
+Wubby penguin They are not athletes, that i totally agree with. but its just as much a sport as chess and billiards are , which are recognized as sports by the olympic commission. they are in no way shape or form physical sports, but they are sports nonetheless. i dont prefer either of the kinds of sports, i enjoy watching all of them. I can see how Esport is a sport and i welcome it.
+Wubby penguin um actually in 2013 the US government issued esports players athlete visas www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/07/14/the-u-s-now-recognizes-esports-players-as-professional-athletes/#2715e4857a0b1d21e779691d and before you say thry're just sitting around doing nothing useful for humanity well how exactly does kicking a ball around a field useful
+Azuer & Ttw um I wasn't saying the act of playing video games is useful for humanity I was just comparing it to the act of kicking a ball around a field and asking how that is useful for humanity. of course esports teams have been raising money for charity just as sports teams do the same thing. also the idea that all gamers are fat nerds in the basement is completely wrong and that way of thinking is VERY out of date because i'm so skinny my family has actually told me to gain some more weight.
+ElectriCity actually I completely agree with you. in some ways I actually like the fact they get paid, because I like watching people like this play and the fact they get paid means they can continue. but that's just my opinion.
Does anyone understand that chess is a sport and you sit there and move pieces. But it is more than that, the strategies used are crucial to the games' elements and that being said, people saying that sitting and 'clicking a few buttons' is 'not a sport' then why the hell is chess a sport? You people need to understand that this is what is happening now, you can't stop it from happening and you should accept that the term 'sport' is changing.
Watching this over and over, just wishing I could be in their places. It's my dream, it's not like I can't do anything else, or that I'm just a guy that can't stop playing, it's just.. what makes me happy, that chill's me, I wanna live for it, like these guys do. I want to be recognized for what I can do there, this is not just a game. and fuck, i just cried with this.
Don't fight with the punks that are saying this is not a sport, because they are right, video games are not sports, they are even better, they are e-Sports!
+Hasheem "The Dream" Thabeet it's way better and has already surpassed multiple sports in terms of popularity, it's just a matter of time before it's on your television bitch. everyone who had a happy childhood or is actually still young knows how great it is.
Hasheem "The Dream" Thabeet it's not opinions, esports is growing at extreme rates. i've seen it multiple times on several news channels when big events are going down, you can't argue against that, it's fact. some countries even got tv channels only dedicated to esports
Fearzzy Because sports don't have channels created for that exact sport. And it's totally factual that e sports are better. It's not like saying something is better an someing else is an opinion or anything.
They're different people. The amount of effort they put into what they love doing isn't. Don't insult professionals of any sport. It's unnecessary, cruel... and honestly kinda pathetic. Reading some of the stuff people say about Video game athletes is pretty disgusting... but at the same time it's rather sad to see humanity at it's lowest.
1. This is an amazing video, shows how far we've all come as gamers. We used to just be the nerds sitting in our basements doing lan parties, and now we are globally recognized for our skills and our talents. 2. There is a noise in the background of this video that sounds like a Tardis taking off...
I think we shouldn't care about if it's a sport or not ! It's just a fucking name... You can call this Competitive Gaming if you want... The name won't change what '' esport '' is... Just one thing to say : Nowadays '' esport '' is a big business and it will grow very well in the future. People who are crying about a name are just dumbass and they just don't want to see the reality of the esport. Just in case for all dumbass, a gamer is not necessarily fat, without a life, and without a brain. I love the esport, vidéo game, and i'm actually in sports study ( STAPS in france ), and I think i'm better in sport than a lot of people who are saying '' Go out doing sport '' or '' Gamers are fat '' here. People have to evolve. Open your mind, maybe in ten, fifhteen or twenty years ''e-sport'' will be the new football on television. It's the road that takes esport nowadays, and it's just a question of time and turnover of generation. Vidéo game has to enter in the culture of the majority and it will take a long time. But it's on a very good way. Sorry for bad english.
It's just pathetic how serious they take videogames. Games that were made to entertain one person. Not made to be a work or a life. They were just made to kill time when you were waiting for fun things.
+Manfred Hästmark oh man, you're really outdated arent you? this isn't 2005 lmao, it's not ''just'' for entertainment, not even fucking close. and if you want to go that route, any sport is just for entertainment
If eSport is'nt considered as a sport why is chess a sport? Mind power more than physical skills but it still requires skills, knowledge about the game (cooldown, damages, range and so on) and moreover teamspirit. If you're not one of us you can't understand.
Tell me what more is in CoD competitive scene except aiming and shooting. I'm really curious about it. Here, in CS, pro's have to communicate with each other during the game, in free time practise a lot and make new strategies, study other team's strategies, find new nades on maps, spots...
Thank you very much !!!! I tried to open the description, but UA-cam had a problem showing it yesterday... I tried to see other videos' descriptios but they had the same problem ! Thank you once again !
You combine 'Game' + 'Competitiveness' = Sports. If people think sport is only 'physical',surely they never heard about 'Mind Sports'. Chess, Bridge, Go are considered legal sports (mind sports). The main issue is to find balance among the e-Sports players between their life in e-Sports also their body fitness level. Obviously you cannot compete in e-Sports if you are sick / not fit, true?. You never know in the future, e-Sports will also require physical element, because of the innovation of gaming technology. Greetings from Indonesia e-Sports Association :)
Larthian Sanders Baseball players can't be overweight for them to be good enough for MLB. Gamers, on the other hand, have no dietary restrictions whatsoever. It's not like they have to perform any physical exertion to play a video GAME. At least baseball players have to stand up
This is a joke... This is esport. Sorry, but no, "esports" is NOT a sport, the players are NOT athletes in any way, shape or form... Is chess or checkers a sport? What about Monopoly? Or snakes and ladders? No, they're not, and neither are video games...
Chess is actually classed as a real sport. Why call golf a real sport? They dont get sweaty and they dont need to be in super good shape to play. For example, One who plays a video game at pro level has higher stress levels than a pro footballer due to the pressure when using your brain instead of your body. I can guarantee you that a pro basketball player will have it as hard when playing a video game as a gamer has when he plays basketball.
Actually now that you mention it Chess is a sport lmao... It was declared a sport by an Olympic committee; tough to argue against that. As such, the precedence has already been set for intellectual-based sports to be given attention and respect. League of Legends and DotA 2 are a couple to gain this notoriety within the Sports world and even if you're not happy about it it's here to stay. If you don't like it, that's too bad for you; there are literally millions of people that love eSports.
a definition by the oxford dictionary. sport: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Video gaming, my kind sir, is by that definition clearly a sport.
I am sorry for this comment but this is DISGUSTING!! Its to the point right now where my face is all twisted and I'm ready to throw up!! SERIOUSLY, people devout their lives to THIS?!! This is SO NERDY and GEEKY!! It can't and will never be should be considered a sport at all!! EEW!! I mean I like to play FIFA competitively but I'd rather have skills of Ronaldo(soccer player), shots of Ibra, dribble like messi, and finish like Benzema!! I mean this is GREAT, but why live Virtual if we are supposed to live REAL!! I know all of you guys have your statistics and proves, but are you guys SERIOUS!! It's awfully disgusting!!! This video makes me wanna love the NOW and hate the disgusting FUTURE!! GUYS LETS JUST GET REAL!!!
First of all what the fuck is Dota, and 2nd, sports use way more stragedy and in a much shorter time!! Plus u use different muscles in different sports, but the only thing video games work on is the brain, and maybe finger muscles!!
Kuiqzs Kz Are you fucking kidding me , you don't even know DotA ? then you shouldn't be here. I'm a LoL player and an old dota player , and these games are the two mobas dominating esports so far, without forgetting ST2 & Cs 1.6 , Cs:go ..
Search sports defenition in wikipedia: SportAccord uses the following criteria, determining that a sport should: 1) have an element of competition 2) be in no way harmful to any living creature 3) not rely on equipment provided by a single supplier (excluding proprietary games such as arena football) 4) not rely on any 'luck' element specifically designed in to the sport You dont need physical exertion for it to be considered a sport. times have changed since the middle ages.
This video gave me the chills, it's fantastic! well put together. and look at 2:15 The guy yells YEAH, First Blood!!!!! I could see it, it made me happy =D
In e-Sport. We move not only hand....but also...we use our BRAINS so much...and this is the important thing. It also has strategy like the chess. Additionally, it brings to us feeling when winning or losing. It is our Sport
this is about esports. no matter what people play, LoL, HoN or Dota or C:S or whatever, this is celebrating the term esports, what it denotes and acknowledging it as a proffesion, a hobby and a thing that people love doing. This isn't about arguing and flaming other games you don't play or don't enjoy.
My favourite team is sk, but watching fnatic broking their headphones of happiness it's just awesome, a dream i would say. Watching ocelote crying makes me think that should be hard to lose like that when u have the hand in your game, and kinda feel bad for him and his team. I Already had tons of emotions watching stream, it's just awesome when u see the pro players charing their emotions with the world.. Someday i hope to be there! E-SPORTS 4ever
Esports is the greatest thing ever happened to humans for the first time we are building a real civ and working towards one goal and that is to be the best.
Most people think eSports is just sitting at home and playing video games. And a real sport is like playing football where there is physical necessity. What people don't understand is that when you have the physical capability, you are able to perform at an elite level and make a living off of it. With eSports, you must reply only on your methodical thinking. You cannot be better than an opponent, but counter his strategy and have a great communication with your team in order to secure victory.
So far I remember first tournament that was officialy organized was a Quake torunament, where the main award was Quake creator John's Carmack Ferrari. So a FPS game started it all. I'm a great fan of SC2 and I think nowdays sc2 has the biggest amount of tournaments along with LoL, but fps games are the ones that made it happen. Don't u dare as a fellow esports fan forget about that :)
Sport is sport and this is not sport, just gaming. Tell somebody who's training whole life for example fencing that some kid playing CS is equal to him, that's seriously fucked up. That's why this will never be on Olimpics.
god this clip...the passion, the adrenaline, the competition, the emotions....i don't even care if its considered a sport or not!
Still lovely in 2022
Just wanted to point something out. First of all, my profile image is funny.
On the second hand, eSport is, to me, a real sport. Not in a physical way, but in the fact that if you want to win a match (a game here), you have to use all the skills you have, alone or with your mates. In sports, I'll take the exemple of football right here, 11 guys do their best TOGETHER to win the match against 11 other people who are doing their best too. They use tactics and skills that enable them to win. They earn a lot of money when they do it in a pro way.

They use tactics, work together, and prove their skill level every day to every one (as in football).

Well try to train about 3 or 4 hours (which is not a lot for pro players), doing your BEST to win, trying all those moves and stuff. You'll see, you'll be kinda tired too.
Well, don't you think it's odd to categorize Basketball and NBA 2k14 both as sports?
There's a difference between casual games and competitive games mate, LoL, Fifa, Starcraft and those kind of stuffs are really competitive
Jericho Siahaya Why isn’t he allowed to be good at football if he believes esports is a sport?

casual gamers and athletes are two different things.
Professional gamers and athletes are not so different.

esport is a sport yes i agree, but baseball players arent over weight thye need to run quite alot in a very short period of time

Shut the fuck up

At least baseball players have to stand up
So much ... awesomeness. Makes me want to go into esports
And honestly...I find esports allot more entertaining than basketball or hockey or football...just a bunch of men fighting over a ball
yep I also dont enjoy watching football it's just boring...
I dont play Cod but I peeked in at a tournament before and the skill level of those players are actually surprisingly high. They are pretty crazy.
I love this so much! Fuck football, basketball, handball, swimming, fuck olympic games. This my sport. And I'm proud of it.
It's not a sport. It's way more than that.

Sorry, but no, "esports" is NOT a sport, the players are NOT athletes in any way, shape or form... Is chess or checkers a sport? What about Monopoly? Or snakes and ladders? No, they're not, and neither are video games...
Chess is actually classed as a real sport. Why call golf a real sport? They dont get sweaty and they dont need to be in super good shape to play. For example, One who plays a video game at pro level has higher stress levels than a pro footballer due to the pressure when using your brain instead of your body. I can guarantee you that a pro basketball player will have it as hard when playing a video game as a gamer has when he plays basketball.
Actually now that you mention it Chess is a sport lmao... It was declared a sport by an Olympic committee; tough to argue against that.
As such, the precedence has already been set for intellectual-based sports to be given attention and respect. League of Legends and DotA 2 are a couple to gain this notoriety within the Sports world and even if you're not happy about it it's here to stay.
If you don't like it, that's too bad for you; there are literally millions of people that love eSports.
You forgot the Kappa

+thomas firetom its a sport
a definition by the oxford dictionary. sport: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
Video gaming, my kind sir, is by that definition clearly a sport.
I am sorry for this comment but this is DISGUSTING!! Its to the point right now where my face is all twisted and I'm ready to throw up!! SERIOUSLY, people devout their lives to THIS?!! This is SO NERDY and GEEKY!! It can't and will never be should be considered a sport at all!! EEW!! I mean I like to play FIFA competitively but I'd rather have skills of Ronaldo(soccer player), shots of Ibra, dribble like messi, and finish like Benzema!!
I mean this is GREAT, but why live Virtual if we are supposed to live REAL!! I know all of you guys have your statistics and proves, but are you guys SERIOUS!! It's awfully disgusting!!! This video makes me wanna love the NOW and hate the disgusting FUTURE!! GUYS LETS JUST GET REAL!!!
Because this is a game of insane strategy. This takes huge mental focus and problem-solving skills. Something that you clearly lack.
Ps. The prize pool for Dota's championship this year (The International 4) is almost up to $11,000,000.
First of all what the fuck is Dota, and 2nd, sports use way more stragedy and in a much shorter time!! Plus u use different muscles in different sports, but the only thing video games work on is the brain, and maybe finger muscles!!
Kuiqzs Kz Are you fucking kidding me , you don't even know DotA ? then you shouldn't be here.
I'm a LoL player and an old dota player , and these games are the two mobas dominating esports so far, without forgetting ST2 & Cs 1.6 , Cs:go ..
So chess is for loosers too?
I shed a tear.....i want to be there i want to feel that feeling....LoL i love you
NERD CHILLS whenever i watch this..... great motivational vid!!!!
Search sports defenition in wikipedia:
SportAccord uses the following criteria, determining that a sport should:
1) have an element of competition
2) be in no way harmful to any living creature
3) not rely on equipment provided by a single supplier (excluding proprietary games such as arena football)
4) not rely on any 'luck' element specifically designed in to the sport
You dont need physical exertion for it to be considered a sport. times have changed since the middle ages.
I'm doing hobby horsing, and since so many don't respect our sport, i'm going to respect yours.
a tear was made to how the gaming community has evolved to something so massive
i watch this day by day amazing esporttttttt
This video gave me the chills, it's fantastic! well put together. and look at 2:15 The guy yells YEAH, First Blood!!!!! I could see it, it made me happy =D
In e-Sport. We move not only hand....but also...we use our BRAINS so much...and this is the important thing. It also has strategy like the chess. Additionally, it brings to us feeling when winning or losing. It is our Sport
Please. Don't hate on something you do not know anything about. It takes devotion,time and effort. Believe me, this is our sport, esports.
Love and passion.
Name yourself a sport, and a sport you shall be.
Great great moments, all in this video.
this is about esports. no matter what people play, LoL, HoN or Dota or C:S or whatever, this is celebrating the term esports, what it denotes and acknowledging it as a proffesion, a hobby and a thing that people love doing. This isn't about arguing and flaming other games you don't play or don't enjoy.
Incredible! Thanks for this!
yes, at those times, it is indeed grubby. The guy at 1:26 is ST.Life, youngest royal roader in the Code S.
My favourite team is sk, but watching fnatic broking their headphones of happiness it's just awesome, a dream i would say. Watching ocelote crying makes me think that should be hard to lose like that when u have the hand in your game, and kinda feel bad for him and his team. I Already had tons of emotions watching stream, it's just awesome when u see the pro players charing their emotions with the world.. Someday i hope to be there! E-SPORTS 4ever
Just amazing

Esports is the greatest thing ever happened to humans for the first time we are building a real civ and working towards one goal and that is to be the best.
1:37 IronSquid II Grand Final last week in Paris, I was there...
It's awesome.
I used to, I play league of legends and SC2 at low masters level.
Most people think eSports is just sitting at home and playing video games. And a real sport is like playing football where there is physical necessity. What people don't understand is that when you have the physical capability, you are able to perform at an elite level and make a living off of it. With eSports, you must reply only on your methodical thinking. You cannot be better than an opponent, but counter his strategy and have a great communication with your team in order to secure victory.
The only sport where the players can be on each side of the globe
Awesome video. Quite inspiring.
So far I remember first tournament that was officialy organized was a Quake torunament, where the main award was Quake creator John's Carmack Ferrari. So a FPS game started it all.
I'm a great fan of SC2 and I think nowdays sc2 has the biggest amount of tournaments along with LoL, but fps games are the ones that made it happen.
Don't u dare as a fellow esports fan forget about that :)
someday i will make it in that stage...and tell the world i work hard for this so this is my time!
@wubbawub3244 did wiki tell you that to? Cus I know for a fact there was a lot more then 6 million views for the Stanley cup finals last year
Literally got goosebumps...
this is sport , is live!!
I loving this vidéo. Continuing your video is great you.
Magnifique vidéo je suis content de voir que meme des personnes agés été a une lan
Showing the M5 and CLG EU era for LoL
a question that makes the flag of Mexico in this tournament?
Sport is sport and this is not sport, just gaming. Tell somebody who's training whole life for example fencing that some kid playing CS is equal to him, that's seriously fucked up. That's why this will never be on Olimpics.
Okay, and chess?
2 years later esports officially became a olimpic sport...so ...go f yourself now
