I'd rather continue with the debate, if I'm honest. I still believe that eSports qualify as sports. As would all the silly things people have been suggesting in order to appeal to ridicule, if they were given the framework of a sport. The fact they don't have such frameworks is the reason they are not currently sports.

Of course, whether they're respectable sports or large sports or sports with depth is up for debate, but they would be sports.

As far as stracraft is concerned, I think it is a respectable sport, it is a sport with depth, and I think given current growth, it will very shortly be a large sport in the west. It already very much is in Korea, large enough in fact to have a longstanding history of live TV broadcast and mainstream acceptance.
