Eystones have long taken root among gamers, but the format still has where to develop. The British government, for example, decided to exalt video games to the Olympic level. The first swallow will be the competition Egames Rio 2016. They will pass, as obviously, during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
No cash awards are supposed to participants, the organizers call pride in their nation the main prize – just like at real Olympic Games! Although the winners, of course, will also get medals.
EGAMES RIO 2016 competitions will go only two days and will become a kind of penalty pen. With their help, the organizers plan to attract various partners and show them the rainbow prospects of e -sports. Among the countries that have already agreed to participate in Egames are the UK, Canada, Brazil and the USA. But video game disciplines are not yet called.
The founders of the event expect Egames to become part of both summer and winter Olympiads.

The best comments
You are right) When I casino-hopa.co.uk wrote a comment above, I did not take into account the competitive moment which makes sports sports!) You reminded me of this)
Consumption is generally different. Chess is considered sports. There is motor and auto sport. Sports firing and so on. You can list for a long time. True, not all of these sport of discipline is at the Olympics. What will be a cyber in the discipline at the Olympics is of course good. And cyber sport by definition the concept. The same should not forget that the world itself is changing. Something new appears, and quickly strengthens in our life. As this happens with cyber sports.
Once the same football was new for people ^ _ ^ So everything is normal
I have read this news … At first, such “wow, this is the level” and then I sit and I think it is good or not? My opinion is that all the same cyber sport and sport are somehow not very compatible) in general, I somehow did not decide on the conclusion.What do you think?!
I didn’t say that. Just a sedentary sport is clearly not Olympic. Excuse me.
I’ll clarify: I have nothing against the "seats". I love chess, for example.
There is no place for cyber sports at the Olympics, I think. Years of physical training, injuries, and then the guys came to the COP to shoot. Yes, in cyber sports, recoil, training is also required, but, frankly, this is incomparable. Even with Kerling: D
Perhaps my opinion is some wrong, I don’t know.
On the one hand, everything is fine, on the other … firstly, what kind of disciplines will be? If the Dota and the KS are among them, then for the players the Olympiad will be at the end of the list according to priorities, the majority passes (Dota, I don’t remember about the KS, in the winter they seem to arrange if third -party tournaments (not from VALV, but still with their support often), the same situation in the summer. And in the end, these 2 disciplines will turn out, as with hockey, they will recruit from those who did not go to the main tournaments. I am sure that the same situation is with the League, but in this moment, let those who follow her enlighten me. Cholesterol (Hearthstone), which has already gained weight in e-sports, now there are also enough tournaments, but just at least some kind of players may come to the Olympics (if there is at least some sponsoring from the country), plus this is not a team game, so it’s perfect, no national teams, only personal skill, which is already shown in tournaments. And in principle, all, except SC2, But the Korean will win it, And there are no more mass e -sports disciplines. Faiting, unfortunately, are not so popular, but sorry, mk xL or the same (sf v, which is contradictory to horror, but still dynamic) look quite cheerful. Athletes (football, hockey, racing, boxing, etc.) Why, if There is a normal version There is a real sport?
And in the end, I bring to the fact that without eminent players the audience will be small, and in the end all this will be unprofitable.
Well, in general, it can be quite difficult, because in many e -sports disciplines, so to speak, the playfulness and tactics of the team are important, and not just the skill of its individual members.
Hence the question of whether there are so many high-level single teams in the world, because there are many where a real hodgepodge from players of different countries.
So how and what difficulty it will be necessary to gather the national team for this matter, tear off from their teams, form sensible new ones if:
It will be easy at first. Common interest, perhaps even officials from sports (if our team is discharged) will come out with the initiative to start building bases for training teams. Well, he will go, and, I take into account how many people watch the broadcasts of the same lol, Cyber-Olympic, argue with the example of Cherling. It’s bad or not, certainly not for us to judge.
And a little more from yourself. To appoint an event from horseradish understand someone, while even discipline without denoting it, this is still dull. To the award. E -sportsmen for nafig medals did not give up. They want to eat. And the methods want to PR. I strongly doubt that they will want to invest in purely national teams.
ESTOSport is sports due to the competitive element, however, there are no chess and, for example, motorsport at the Olympiads. Similarly, e-sports at the Olympics, in my opinion, is still not a place, t.To. This is a festival of physical sports.
I have nothing against e -sports, if that.
Like hockey at the Winter Olympics.
Purely in theory, monetary rewards for occupied places should promise the organizers from countries that in turn must compensate for this by selling advertising places.
But there is one more but … the main thing in sports is money. The same chess is not much bringing money. I don’t know how with motorsport. But e -sports in this regard really develops very much and covers more and more audiences. Therefore, I think, they include cyber sport, for the sake of dough and attract additional attention to all this.
In general, get everything from this. Both the organizers of the Olympics and the companies of which will be presented in this Olympics … well, spectators have fun.
