Hopefully no.

No, even womens sports are above them.

Hopefully maybe.

We never were. We just want to have a good time and dedicated our time to the art form. I don't want respect from normies, I just want to have a good time in a competitive environment with my fellow peers who also enjoy the art form. Normies never cared about ESports and the time and effort it takes, they only cared until they realized the prize pool of major events and think "huehue im good at cod why dont i play mlg and get some moneyz"

Could the average gamer overpower an elite female athlete?

I work as a vartender at a pretty busy spot in my area. Sometimes ESPN will air esports, the whole place gets disgruntled until I change the channel. Just an idea of how its viewed by normalfags.

Many competitive video games are far more complex than "run very fast" or "jump very far"

God no and they never should be.

if that dark day ever arrives be sure to start complaining about the environmental impact of the entire computer industry and the frivolty of practicing 16 hours a day to press your q button

a bike seat is more of an athlete than a gamer

Run very fast takes a lot of technique to get to top speed. It's not as simple as pressing W to move.

No, because they aren't athletes, they're pro players. Apples and oranges mate. Both are respectable titles, but compared to each other, well there's no point in comparing. Daigo Umehara as a competitor has little in common with someone like Usain Bolt.

I bet she could crush 3 watermelons at the same time

Depends on the sport, and your definition of gamer. If the sport is women’s golf and the “gamers” are anyone who plays games at least once a week then the answer is a resounding yes.

God I wish that watermelon was my head.

No, but that is the Samus Aran body, hot.

Name one competitive game where you just press W and win

All of them.

Hearthstone if you change your input settings

For how much o believe HS is not a real competitive game, it probably still takes more skills than just run very fast.

Could the average gamer overpower an elite looser?

Theres a huge billboard near the train station here with an ad for Redbull with a picture of Faker. Strangely enough, people here know league and faker so i think esports is pretty okay here.

what kind of mentally ill people are comparing video game competitions to athletic sports? It's more akin to chess or poker competitions.

Americans are just so stupid, you add the word 'sports' and they lose their fucking minds.

When women are held higher than you as an athele, you know you're not really an athlete Yea Forumsros :(

lmfao literally kill yourself if you're being serious. Try using muscles other than thumb muscles you pathetic cow

>it probably still takes more skills than just run very fast.
Holy fuck you are retarded

no

Yeah, pushing buttons is so hard, maybe you should get out more, video games was always mindless fun, competitivefags should kill themselves for trying to make it a sport.

Not as long as we keep letting women count as Pro Gamers.

You don't get physically tired playing a game, running is far harder, stupid.

HURR IF IT'S NOT LIFTING WEIGHTS OR RUNNING IT CAN'T TAKE SKILL

And it's not a sport, it's just a competitive activity like chess, go or whatever else.

>other
use dictionary pls

My wife has 2 problems. One is the fact that everytime she gets drunk she gets mean. She always looks for a fight, or a way to make me feel like shit me. The other problem is that every morning after she gets drunk she has an explosive watery shit. One night she pushed me to far.

She was drunk of course and felling a little frisky so we we messing around and I tried to put it in the butt, she got mad and started talking shit, about how I'm no good and my dick is small, and that she probably wouldn't even feel it. so we never did have sex.

After she went to sleep I couldn't get the pain of her saying my dick was small out of my head. I wanted to embarrass her as much as she embarrased me. So I got an Idea

I went to my sons room and got his bad of marbles. i then went to my secret stash and got a bottle of lube. I could just image her reactions when you shit marbles the next morning. I lubed them up one at a time and slowly pushed each one in. Almost a hundred in all. I got so excited I jerked off then giggled my self to sleep.

The next morning I woke up so excited I couldn't stand it. I made allot of noise getting dressed so she would wake up. She did and not 3 minutes later she said " oh my stomach. not again" and ran to the bathroom. I was in thee brushing my teeth. Usually she would tell me to leave but the urge was to intense. She sat down and let it rip.

She dam near had a heart attack from the noise. The marbles hitting the porcelin sounded like a machine gun going off in the bathroom. She turned white as a sheet and stood up, Still shitting all over the place. Marbles rolling all over the floor as they bounced around. It took her a couple of minutes to put it all together. She said "What the ****" I just laughed and laughed as she packed her shit and left.

I really do kind of miss her though. Now I just play Sekiro and lose to this stupid ape flinging shit at me the entire fight. Reminds me of her.

italian girls look like THAT?!

The Samus body type.

So running is harder than astrophysics, since you don't get physically tired doing astrophysics? Since when is Yea Forums meathead central?

You first

chess and go have depth
hearthstone is mostly RNG

What videogames does she play?

based

Look at this fatass loser being mad he's a loser lmao

That's because hearthstone is the lowest form of esport and barely one, if it is at all.

Yes, a physical activity is more physically demanding than a non physically demanding activity.

People will never have respect for the players of games they don't respect.

You must have problems walking, fatass.

I asked if it's harder, not more physically demanding. But I guess I got my answer if you can't even comprehend simple questions.

since being a nerd became mainstream, faggot

Pussy bitch nigga

Well you're trying to equate some weird standard of hard. I would assume for most of Yea Forums, yes, running for 5 minutes may be the hardest thing they could do

From games are the only gamers that should be considered athletes

Why don't you faggots get this shit? Being classified as "athletes" is just a way to get a visa faster and easier. It has nothing to do with respect or anything of the sort.

Obviously, since no one would ever respect esports players. Normal gamers, real atheletes, literally anyone. Smash community just berated and bullied a 15 year girl, while another 50 year old autist fucked a 16 year old boy. These aren't athletes, these are autists

You'd think a place like Yea Forums would support competitive games since you're always crying about casuals and games not being hard enough. Competitive gaming is the ultimate challenge, no AIs to cheese or stuff like that, just pure skill. And yet Yea Forums hates it. Why? Because people here don't actually want a challenging or conplex game. They just want to believe they are skilled and good and play hard games with your actually doing it.

>And yet Yea Forums hates it
you read one post and now that's what you think everyone's opinion is? god you're retarded
