At what point will you finally accept elite video game players as sports? the money is there...

Yeah they go on /vg/ or Yea Forums not here and not on Yea Forums

It's unironically more of a sport than F1.

Battle Royales make for shit esports

i can verify theres gamethreads on Yea Forums for some fighting games tourneys. sadly smash seems to be the most popular

If e-"sports" are sports, why isn't chess a sport too?

No it is not. Motorsports are sports, esports are not sports so how can a not sport be more of a sport than a sport. It cannot.

Plenty of esports can reach the "true sport" part

Chess is a sport. Esports are not sports.

there are chess threads on Yea Forums though

both are only effected by the competitor using a type of controller (steering wheel and pedal or mouse and keyboard) whats the difference, nothing

motorsports require physical exertion, especially series without power steering

Motorsports require genuine physical exertion, playing vidys does not. If you want to test it go do some karting for an afternoon and compare it to how you feel after a 16 hours vidya session.

Why would chess be considered a sport and not esports? Esports have a way bigger claim to be called sports than chess.

so if we give the gamers one of these, then it become a sport??

Transathletic

Never you fucking amerifat for the same reason Chess isn't a sport.
The closest video game equivalent to sports would be playing Time Crisis in one of those arcades(the vibration of the gun is insane) or Dance Dance Revolution and all those other dancing/fitness games.

If you fuck up in eSports nothing happens to you.

sport = stamina + skill

you don't need stamina for esports. but I consider snooker, pool and darts sports so yeah.. don't know

Mountain dew and Hawaiian Punch are sports drinks then.

as an old man i remember a time long, long ago when progamers were funny and open instead of being awkward and closed off emotionally. that time was starcraft's golden age my friends. back when south korean chads reigned supreme
