I hate calling this a "sport", does this mean these guys are athletes? Just something that really annoys me how anything that is competitive ends up being named a sport!

They are e-athletes.

this part of my post is a reply to this thread:

I haven't watched any esports for a long time. When I watched some, it was fun. Also competing in this kind of events is pure awesomeness.


They are not athletes of any sort. Are they the best at what they do? Hell yea. Its like calling the best checkers player an athlete. The vids of the competitions are pretty neat to watch though, its definately very intense and competitive.

That is your opinion. Once we were called cyberathletes! Those were the times!
