This is beyond retarded. Videogames aren't and will never be sports.

Like said, curling is in there. Next thing we know bowling will be a fucking Olympic sport.

The next step is an AI arms race.

Yeah I watched that, that was less impressive than the AI creators want it to sound.
The AI has access to the entirety of the Dota2 gamestate: It knows the opposing players cooldowns, location, movement and clicks at every point and reacts based on reading those inputs. Ordinary players beat the AI because they found that you need to play like a retard to do so, since the AI is cheating and using information human players couldn't possess.

what if you watch the sweaty women instead?

Now if only government went this way the world might be a better place…

Also seems to be played by attractive women who spend a lot of time bending over. 10/10 sport as a result.

You forgot the most important part.
In a mirror match up, it's won by whomever gets the 1st last hit because 2 damage significantly improves your chances
Once the bots get advanced to the point they can challenge TI winners in a 5v5 it'll be interesting.
Them playing for 1st last hit, specifically with shadowfiend is fearmongering "m-m-muh AI overlords, beaten a has-been who won TI through an oversight abuse"

I wouldn't mind if it weren't for the fact they would get the most casual, least skill intensive game like League or Legends or Overwatch and call that a Sport.
