THEBILLDOZERJarateKingthis being said, if they included ESPORTS then what would they choose from each genre? would they choose league or dota for mobas? would they do csgo or overwatch(or quake) for shooters? I'd love to see an rts in the Olympics but there aren't any really big enough.All_Over_RSit also wouldnt be possible to include as just a single sport.This doesn't necessarily exclude it. An olympic sport can include different disciplines that are basically unrelated, which can themselves include different events. For example, 10m platform diving is one of the events under the discipline of diving, under the actual sport of aquatics (which also includes disciplines like swimming and water polo, which are obviously very different). Odds are the same with esports, the sport itself would be the broad category and each specific game would be their own event.
Olympic video games is dumb for a lot of reasons, but it's not as different from traditional sports as far as olympic categorizing goes.
obviously people would have their own ideas about which games could be used but it would be difficult to try and sell any of these to an audience that is unfamiliar with the sport.
Starcraft II is pretty big, not sure how big you're talking though cause yeah it's fairly small compared to CS and the MOBAs
