Bannerlord & Esport

[Froto_the_Loc]

I keep reading "escort" instead of "esport", but I'm sure most of the guys around here wouldn't mind being escorts.

Things like poll billard also count as sports, I think, so why not computer games?

Also, with VR and treadmills coming, it might soon be quite exhaustive as well.

Yes thus it is called electronic sport (which implies it is not the same as a normal sport)? Holy fuck the idiocy in this thread is going through the roof

If someone does not agree with you that means he's an idiot... I think one cmp is more than enough for this tiny community.

it's not that he disagrees, it's the explanation he uses for the disagreement that is dense (just like your comment)

People can not handle change, i think that is the main issue here. (I hope it is, or they are just insanely stupid )

I think it's more a case of "esport is popular but because we are hipsters we must hate it!"

Bleh i bet that would include censorship for naughty language

Phi, nty.

Watching regular sports sucks hard enough already, the only joy from watching sport is gambling.

Your posts in this thread remind me of a dude from Star Citizen forums who insulted everyone who disagreed with him. He made a thread where he demanded from devs to ask Felicia Day to do a voiceover. After more than half people disagreed, he started with insults. He was like, who doesn't like Felicia Day. You're like, who doesn't like eSports. Well, some people don't and have valid reasons for it. No need to hate them for having an opinion.

Besides, only games with huge following become eSports games. Mount&Blade will probably never get to that point, this is a niche game and will probably always stay that way.

I'm not "who doesn't like eSports", why are you making stuff up? I have no problem with people not liking esports, fine with me. I was commenting on the statements said about esports, not about you and the other dude not liking it. Why should I care if you like esports or not?

Since when can you disagree with a thing that's a fact. Esports is some kind of sports obviously, otherwise it wouldnt be called like that. It's not a sport however, it's e-sport, but some kind of sport, but not sport!

[Leshma]

There are facts and there are "facts". Just because bunch of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. For example, North Koreans (they don't like that name) worship their president. If you're "true" Korean you will love and support Kim Jong-un, that is a FACT in Korea. In similar fashion, eSports is important thing to gamers. But people outside gaming (still very sizeable amount of people) don't care about it. So it's not an actual fact like laws of mathematics. It's just an opinion.

Acctually Vibe was pretty entertaining and he wasnt really that insulting. He didnt hate, he just made fun of the wierd statement the other guy gave. Esports really is a sport. Read a wikipedia article or smthing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport

i clicked your wiki link it says nothing about e sports and says

(click to show/hide)

Sport (or sports) is all forms of usually competitive physical activity which,[1] through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing entertainment to participants, and in some cases, spectators.[2] Hundreds of sports exist, from those requiring only two participants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals.
Sport is generally recognised as activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions such as the Olympic Games admitting only sports meeting this definition,[3] and other organisations such as the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification as sports

So i clicked on esports link and it says

Overview[edit]

There is some debate about labeling some video games as "sports". Recently, eSports has gone through tremendous growth, incurring a large increase in both viewership and prize money.[1] While some point to this growth as justification for designating some games as sports, others contend that video games will never reach the status of "true sports"

I don't see how this proves it is a sport? as far as i can see some gamers decided to call it esports and the name stuck.


As for vibes I think it's more a case of "esport is popular but because we are hipsters we must hate it!" It depends how you define popular. Most people who i know play games and most dont give a crap about esports im sure in hardcore moba players etc its pretty popular but being a hipster for not liking it? Its hardly in the public mainstream now is it

le edit you can love esports all you like it just isnt for me in the same way table top warhammer and the like isnt

Nothing against you, Osiris, but I think your slight lack of intelligence strikes again.

Sport is something that you can compete in. Are you saying that you cannot compete in games?
