Are Esports A Real Sport? Riot Games Wades Into The Debate With 'League Of Legends' Video

Over the years, debate about e sports as a true sport continues, and it seems that everyone is wearing a hat without seeing or answering it. Right now, the developer of League of Legends Riot Games is involved in the publication of videos to promote discussion.

The video titled "Our Game" made Riot's position very clear, challenging those who thought e Sports was a joke rather than a real sport. Clips from major television networks ridiculed by e-sports and the recent League of Legends World Championship shows clear cuts between television celebrities and reality. You can see the following videos

Riot is definitely making good promotional videos that can fascinate alliances, e-sports and fans. Offering unsuitable advice to people who do not even give e sports opportunities seems like a favorite amusement for many people in the community, and now they have perfect ammunition to throw any enemies I put it in. Who knows, when people see the size of the crowd in the world finals, they even have the possibility of changing some opinions?

Of course, who care about the real answer to this question? E Sports is always one thing, and forever a large audience may be gathered. It does not need to be classified as "real sports" to be successful, and there is really no way to classify it as a real sport. The best thing we can expect is to change opinions slowly. As a result, e-sports will have fewer challenges in key areas (such as a player obtaining a visa). I hope this video will be useful. Of course, it is wonderful that the mainstream media cease to destroy e-sports and spread disseminated stereotypes.

Riot's products follow the same video of the CS: GO competition of the B: Pro series that was held last weekend. In this game, we created the following video to educate new audiences about the basics of CS. It ends with a memo similar to Giot video and shows the size of the game.

As these large companies and events create such media, more and more people are beginning to get passionate about the world of eSports, which is good for all participants. 2018 seems to be an important year and education for people outside will be an important area

The most common types of video games related to eSports are Real Time Strategy (RTS), First Persons Shooter (FPS), Combat, and Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA). Popular games for sports events include League of Legends, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offense, Call Of Duty, Hearthstone, Watch, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Siege, Player Unknown Battlefield, Fort Knight Battle Royale, Star Craft II and so on. Competitions such as the League of Legends World Championship, Dota 2 International Competition, Specific Combat Game Champions Series, and Intel Extreme Masters will provide live games and prizes to competitors. Like the League of Legends World Championship, there is also a competition to use the sponsor team for a series of promotions and downgrades, but recently it is similar to a regular playoff series like American professional sports, paid players, Watch League A competition is taking place.

"League of Legends" is one of the few video games where teams compete for fame and fortune in organized games. This is e sports. According to ESPN, "Resistance is wasteful: e-sports are huge and growing ..." Many companies and investors are seeing enthusiastic headlines about bananas (Examples 1, 2, 3 ). Mark Culban, the owner of Dallas Mavericks, invested. Former NBA president David Stern invested. A story to help stimulate these investments will see e sports as the birth of new sports. I do not agree with this opinion.

First of all, the quick definition of e sports will help the rest of this report. e Sports, also called e Sports, is a term that defines video games at the competition level. E Sports has been appreciated by many people, especially in many areas, including first-person shooter games (such as counter strike), Battle Arena (including League of Legends, currently the most popular E sports field), real time strategy (StarCraft It exists in). The first "real" e sports franchise and sports game (FIFA, Trackmania, etc.). They feature athletes of athletes team training at least 6 hours a day and they earn five or six figures each year through the list, except for the tournament's prize pool (the current record is held by international tournaments) . In 2014, it was assigned to five winning teams at 12 million dollars)
