A short time ago, information about an Esports Olympic Games reserved for electronic sports made the community extremely stirring. The information is even posted on the IOC's homepage (International Olympic Committee) shows the authenticity of the tournament. In addition, with the success of Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia recently, electronic sports have a separate Olympic Games that can be considered as a step development step. Not only becoming a sport that has the same position as traditional sports, but eSports also has a Olympic Prize. In addition, the audience is also interested in any type of eSports will have the opportunity to participate in this Olympic Games, if the event really takes place in the future.
The success of EWC 2024 helps Esports can have an additional Olympic Prize in the near future
Recently, the representative of IOC has added some new information related to the event. Specifically, the Esports Olympic event will be expected to have a “terrible” sponsor from Saudi Arab. Besides, some subjects may be present, including League of Legends, Rocket League, Street Fighter, Tekken, Iracing, NBA2K, FIFA and some mobile games. However, the sad news comes to the follower of the FPS or survival series that are games like FPS/Shooter may be “colored” from the tournament.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has simultaneously organized the Esports Olympics with a huge sponsor of Saudi Arabia. Shooting games (FPS) will not be included. The list of expected games includes League of Legends, Rocket League, Street Fighter, Tekken, Iracing, NBA 2K, FIFA and mobile games
In fact, this is completely understandable. Despite being a game genre and legendary form of the world gaming industry in general, FPS/Shooter is also considered a rather violent game series, not suitable to become a competition in the Olympic. Moreover, traditional sports never allow actions to destroy opponents to win. Therefore, FPS/Shooter is absent is also understandable. Not to mention, it is the gamers of FPS/Shooter also difficult to have the highest emotion when the sensitive elements in the game are covered or changed into other mechanisms to suit the standards of traditional sports.
The FPS/Shooter games are mostly violent and destroy the opponent to win – not in accordance with the principles of the Olympic Games
After the sharing of the IOC side, perhaps the Esports community had more excitement at the prospect of an Olympic Games reserved for the upcoming eSports. If this came true, eSports has taken an important step and can completely turn to more achievements in the future.
