Fundamentally, Esports leagues seem to be trying to make gaming appear to be a sport without actually making it into one. Like the addition of coaches in MLG games like Gears of War and Halo. That seems like a completely ludicrous addition to professional gaming and one that will not even make it more like a sport. Why does a gamer need a coach?
To make gaming into a sport, they should make organizational changes. Let’s continue to use MLG as being an example. A Halo 3 team in MLG should have to be sponsored by an organization or person. A sponsor does not just pay for trips to Meadowlands and provide you cool gaming rigs. That person should own the team and they make the roster changes. If Ogre 1 and Ogre 2 do not like Walshy any more, too bad. They do not have a say, the sponsor does. Teams should not be just a group of friends that got together one day as well as have played together since. They should be solid foundations that will exist years from simply, with our without it’s current player roster.
They should implement a regular season. As opposed to going to a handful of tournament events or fantastic soccer competing in some online ladder, the teams associated with the season are set at the beginning of the season. No more can teams join or leave once the season is underway. Thus, schedules are set for each team. In the event that you are scheduled to play a team, you go to that location and play them. Real sports teams and players travel a whole lot. It appears gamers sit at home training for the next event. You train throughout the off-season in a sport, and play through the season. Why would competitive play be held online whenever you have network issues, potential cheating, and lag? It doesn’t make sense. So there’s no reason they should not be traveling around the country to play their next scheduled opponent.
Each team would have the same number of games played. After the season is over, playoffs will be seeded and played within the tournament-style events like Meadowlands. That should be how playoffs are performed. Right now it seems they have no relevance at all other than winning you money and giving you points.
There must also be a scouting combine. You can’t simply up and join an MLG competition one day. You will have to enter into a separate league and compete there until you are invited by a team owner to join an MLG team. That might give legitimacy to the league and additionally probably weed out a whole lot of want to-be’s and posers because they aren’t going to want to compete and travel a lot.
Another idea I had for American professional gaming would be to hold state tournaments which may recognize the top players that live in each state. These players would then be eligible to compete on the main MLG or professional circuit. I think something like this could be more feasible than a minor leagues for gaming. And c’mon, who will not like saying things like I went to states in 2009.’
Physicality doesn’t matter
A lot of men and women say gaming is not a sport because it isn’t physical. I’m not saying this since it is debatable whether sports require physical activity. In the end, NASCAR is considered a sport by some and also the driver just sits there. Bowling is additionally considered a sport and that requires very little physicality. It’s also debatable regardless of whether gaming has no physicality within the first place. Gaming requires reaction time and motor skills and additionally critical and analytical thinking, much like real sports. I think the real reasons that individuals say gaming isn’t a sport is really because of the ones outlined above. It just seems more like a hobby and also does not conduct itself in a professional or sports-like manner.
