Will Competitive Electronic Gaming Ever Be an Olympic Sport?
chris.pirillo.com Professional gamers can train longer and harder than professional athletes. A track runner or swimmer will tire and need rest, but a pro gamer can continue training throughout the day and well in to the night. This begs the question, "Could electronic sports ever find their way to the Olympics?" Electronic gaming is big business, and some tournaments bring keyboard athletes from all over the world to compete for prizes that often exceed a typical year's salary for most professionals. Entry fees to competitive LAN tournaments can be quite high, and some professional gamers take on sponsors to cover these fees and the cost for their trips around the globe. As the world of electronic sports continues to grow, one can only assume that the amount of attention players receive will flourish with it. Who knows, if a few more countries embraced e-sports the way South Korea has, we may not be far off from seeing gamers like HuK, TTOne, or SLush on a box of Wheaties. What do you think? Do electronic sports stand a chance of ever becoming Olympic sports? chris.pirillo.com http facebook.com
