On 'International Shooting Sport Federation Island,' players will be 'tested on their target aiming accuracy, just as sport shooters would in competition.'
In March, the International Olympic Committee announced that it was getting into esports. It's not adding videogames toOlympics, but it is running a"global virtual and simulated sports competition" this year called the Olympic Esports Series 2023.
The tournament got a light roasting on social media when its game roster was initially announced, because rather than choosing big esports games like League of Legends or CS:GO, the IOC picked analogues of traditional sports, including WBSC eBaseball: Power Pros and mobile game Tennis Clash. The most esports-ey game in the mix was Gran Turismo, followed arguably by Chess.com.
I find it all pretty endearing. As silly as these"esports" selections are, I wouldn't have actually expected The Olympics to dive into esports with a CS:GO tournament—can you really have a team of Olympians playing"terrorists"?—or to get involved with any simulated killing at all. The most violent the Olympics gets are combat sports like boxing and karate, and how violent they should be is a controversial topic.
