so are you saying that going to the gym and lifting weights as you call training will make me great at starcraft? hell im gonna hit the gym right now


No, but clicking really fast and playing tons of games will increase your finger speed and dexterity, which would definitely be considered physical training.

So by your logic, ripped body builders should be amazing at every sport? Most sports are a combination of skill and athleticism (with the exception of running).

golf is a sport, it requires hand strength and aim


what does youre sig say


I would bet money your hand and wrist muscles couldn't handle 400 APM for more than 2 minutes if you can even get to that level at all. Seriously, try doing it for 40 minutes straight like a Korean pro does. You won't be able to move your arm. There is a reason the major Korean professional teams are required to go to the gym to exercise for (IIRC) at least 2 hours per day, plus hand and wrist exercises.

hiting 1234 with your fingers ~ 1000000000000 times in a row will make you good at starcraft.

go out to any social environment, and strike up a conversation on how video games = sports.
come back ashamed after getting rofl'd at.

that's why you guys stay here, with carbon waste degenerates of your caliber. the only people who will agree with you guys are your fellow nerds who take this video game too seriously. nobody else would. that's the reality, no need to jerk everyone's dick. who are you trying to kid?
