are electronic games a legitimate sport
Hello everybody First of all I’d like to thanks you all for coming here today.
My name is Yann Dumont and I am from France. I am an exchange student in Inha University and I am majoring in business administration.
Today we are going to ask ourselves if electronic games are a legitimate sport.
I’d like to ask you to keep any questions you may have for the end of the presentation
First of all, what is a sport?
Sport: Definition
Sport come from the middle aged word desport, which mean distraction, physical or mental pleasure
According to sport accord, the umbrella organization for all Olympics and non-Olympics sports, a sport is defined as an activity that have an element of competition is in no way harmful to any living creature do not rely on any "luck" element specifically designed into the sport
Now we are going to see what does make electronic games a sport.
SO WHAT MAKE ELECTRONIC GAMES A SPORT?
First, we have to say that we are going to take only a limited amount of video games
StarCraft, warcraft 3, dota, league of legend, counter strike, quake.
I only selected here video games I know, and which are played on computer.
Also, I am going to refer as
Cyberathlete Professional League CPL china now
World Cyber Games WCG Korea
Major League Gaming MLG North America
Electronic Sports World Cup ESWC France
World eSports Games WEM Asia/china There are also world championships specific to each game. For example, last Saturday, there where the final of league of legend in the staples center, in the United States
Because there are competitions, there are also a lot of things which are like traditional sports.
TEAM. On league of legend, the best one is SKT T1.
Here are also coaches, and transfer between team, just like the football Mercado.
Also, as you can see in the team name, there are many sponsors. For example, as I said, tam names are SKT t1, Samsung ozone and NAJIN black sword, in league of legend.
