The International Olympic Committee officially recognised eSports as a sport in 2017.
The International Olympic Committee officially recognised eSports as a sport in 2017 and has been in discussions with industry players about inclusion on the most prestigious stage.
The event was launched Thursday with a spectacular musical show where performers appeared to move in and out of virtual landscapes. "It's really special for me because it's Olympics... it's really cool to be here," said Kaj de Bruin, an 18-year-old finalist from the Netherlands in the Gran Turismo racing event.
Many in the gaming community were baffled that many of the most established gaming titles were not part of the event. Pereira ruled out the inclusion of first-person shooter games in future events as the promotion of violence goes against Olympic values.
