Have you ever played the video game(either online game or console game)? In my guess, you and all of your neighbors have ever played the video game even one times. As technology is developing, gaming is more general among modern people. The number of people who enjoy playing video game is skyrocketing. Thus , some people's view of playing game is transforming very radically. It means that, however, some people still stick in the past. Because of differences among them, E-sport(defining playing game as a sport) become a conversation topic in that whether it is the real sport or just playing video game. Thus I suggest a topic that E-sport should be regarded a real sport?
E-sport is defined as a competition that divide victory or defeat through playing game. E-sport has been discussed whether it is the sport. As time goes on, however, playing video game is more and more acknowledged as a sport. The perception of a game is changed as upheaval toward to progression.
E-sports competitions are begun to rev up all of the world. For example, Starcraft has widened their popularity from 15 years ago. And now League of legend, World of tank or, etc has also widened. Although these are more general, some people still stick in the past thought. However, this people would be just regarded stereotyped people. Even, in Korea, E-sports is confirmed a formal subject of 95th national sports festival. I argue that E-sport should be considered as a real sport.
First, E-sport is a virtual sport.
Some people define sport as a competition that divide victory or defeat by physical ability so they argue that the e-sport is not real sport. However, e-sport is virtual sport that contain physical things such as sight, insight and concentration). Among people, Sports have been turned into the game like screen golf because modern people can't play sports under constraints of space. However, by participating in e-sports, we can play sport indirectly. It can do the role of sport for modern people. Even, they would prefer e-sport than the real sport. E-sport is virtual sport that can be enough to play a role of sports.
Second, E-sport needs physical ability.
Some people say that the sport have to contain physical competition, and e-sport is not sufficient in this condition. However, e-sport is essential physical ability such as deft finger, accurate judgement, and high concentration. To be good at e-sport, players have to have these abilities. E-sport is just not necessary physical contacting to opponent. E-sport is also physical competition. Although shooting is not necessary physical contaction to opponent, shooting is a formal subject of Olympic, that means world sports festival. In my opinion, between e-sport and shooting, there isn't difference in that these also divide victory or defeat through deft finger and high concentration.
Third, E-sport is already organized through formal worldwide institution.
Some people say that a qualification of sport is stable representative institution which can manage the sport for players. However, E-sport already have stable worldwide representative institution that have branches from Asia to Europe. There are already festival which aim to people around the world. But then, there are sports that don't have stable association, although these participate in Olympic.
A lot of sports shrink into comparative insignificance to e-sport. E-sport is more suitable to called nice sport than other sports. Like this, E-sport has qualifications of being sport. For these reasons, E-sport should be considered as a real sport.
Although most people begin regarding e-sport as a real sport, there are still some people who discuss that it is not sport. As I told, this discussion has lots of logical flaws. Though e-sport has qualification of sport, they seem to be people who can't understand this logic. Thus, I would show some examples. At first, Shooting is sport that is a formal subject of Olympic although it has many somethings in common to e-sport. This sports require deft finger and high concentration. Actually there are many sport which require this physical ability. Baseball is similar sport in that they require not direct physical contaction, but ability of pitching and hitting. Pitching and hitting is never absolute physical ability which someone suggests real qualification of a real sport. However, baseball is one of the most popular sport in the world. Most valuable baseball players get the highest annual among all of players involving other sports(soccer, football and ,etc.) Even E-sport players have been evaluated indifferently as compared with other famous players. E-sport is already considered as a real sports by except few people which disagree with this resolution.
E-sport has qualification of sport undeniably. E-sport have widened their position as sport in the world. I convince that the e-sport considered as a sport by all of people and develop as a representative sport in next generation in that it can solve problems of other sports in that it is free from restriction of time and space. E-sports have a roseate future, if people acknowledge its position and support it. Thus, I argue that E-sport should be considered as a real sport.
