Were still confused about Olympic esports even as the first champions are crowned

One team of four players and three other individuals won the cycling, archery, sailing, and dance competitions at the Olympic Esports Series 2023 in Singapore on June 23, the first day of the event.

You might be wondering why none of these so-called “esports” are famous games such as CS:GO, League of Legends, VALORANT, and Dota 2. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) only chose sports simulator games because FPS titles, for example, go against the Olympic values, according to the IOC’s head of virtual sport Vincent Pereira.
