who cares if it's a sport or not, it's about getting visas to move here easily. It doesn't matter how much skill the game takes to play. Also, LoL definitely takes more skill than a rhythm game.

Idk what to say other than that you don't get it

i do, like i mentioned before i participate in S5 League (about as professional as a game with a game with 300 players can get) with shampooh, as well as various fighting game tournaments (which again may be a little more out there relative to the topic at hand but relevant enough to mention), and simply put i do not think that "esports" qualify as sports
