Do Olympic Games Go Insane?

Some may say that games are childish and do nothing to aid you in the real world. This is not true to the gaming community. Around the world there are tournaments being held to house these events.”Esports” are commonly called mind sports as they take no physical activity. A lot of people are against this topic, but if Esports becomes a sport in The Olympic Games in 2020 people will go insane. Pro-Starcraft player Dario “TLO” Wunsch goes through many things that help in the game (yoga and physiotherapy) practiced and prepared them for high state games.

Recently the DOTA-1 team Ninjas in Pyjamas hired a master graduate in sports and science to help player control their mental state at games. Spectators at these games even have gaming knowledge
so they know how the same works and how it is played. Professional gamers have to learn to isolate other players “smacktalk” or foul language, so it deals with mental health. The live steam software called Twitch livestreams the games so fans can be entertained or learn from the pro’s mistakes.

A major role in professional gaming is to create and atmosphere in which fans can be avid supporters of their favorite team. For example a MMO League of Legends brought in 27 million viewers beating out most of sporting events besides the Super Bowl. Esports also bring in a lot of funds when you win and also reputation. Some may say that gamers are childish and do nothing to aid you in the real world. Hopefully this made you think about the future of competitive gaming and how it will become a physical and mental sport
