I'd be much more ok with this news if it weren't LoL. LoL is literally the least esport game of all esport games. It has the least amount of mechanics and the most amount of theory. If you were going to argue that games can be sports, then at least look at korean starcraft players or top fps players. Games where conditioning and inherent player skill play more of a role.... don't look at LoL.
