@mariofan128: I know, I love the game too. I just can't see it being so popular as to being called a sport, I rarely hear anybody talk about it.

Meant as a competition where atletes put their human physical skills to the limit to show there're the best, and we get video games?

Also ironic that they've scrapping wrestling as an olympic sport (Pancration/Roman wrestling during the olympic games in ancient Greece anyone?) and add video games

its a joke, no

What the he*l are they smoking?

This must be true too then.

@JekutoNightra: do you realise that smash bros is even older than LoL? it means it has even more fans over the time

The article says nothing about Olympics. Regardless if it's real or not, I'm appalled at the amount of ignorant people I've seen that refuse to call video games a sport. MLG and e-sports are as much as real sports as golf, chess, billiards, hunting, and bowling. Granted, I don't want League spearheading the e-sports movement as I do not like League, I would prefer Starcraft, but video games being a sport should not be a hard concept to accept.

So... is this what they replaced wrestling with?

say it ain't so!

That's much more realistic.

When will maplestory come? They can have a race too 250.

@El6e: Oh nice I wouldn't know this because I don't play LoL but man seriously? A sport? The Olympics? Hell no.

[quote=Aqueous]This is pathetic. Sure LoL takes skill but so do other video games, maybe it can join something like MLG but to actually consider it a sport is simply pathetic let alone to put this in the Olympics...[/quote]

LoL is already a part of MLG and IPL before it was destroyed

I feel like the article is trolling me.

This is pathetic. Sure LoL takes skill but so do other video games, maybe it can join something like MLG but to actually consider it a sport is simply pathetic let alone to put this in the Olympics...

I have no idea if you guys realize this is a joke article or not.

They're [b]CONSIDERING[/b] to put LoL in the Olympics.

Well then.
Mom can't say I don't do sports now.

I can't find any reputable sources for this... No actual news network is reporting anything on league of legends...

>p4rgaming

This site kills me.

Not nearly as popular as League of Legends, but ok.
