Phil likely won due to having more variety.

I think he may not be what we consider as artistiic but his basic skills and tricks were cleaner and harder.

It is! Just not whatever the IOC thinks esports are...

Agree to disagree then 

 

I like breaking more than esports, and that’s saying a lot because I HATE breaking (if you can’t already tell)

Also Canada has surpassed its Winter total from 2022. Wow. Would not have called that a few years ago

I mean, I hate some esports too xD

 

I just feel like most people who say they "hate esports" don't know enough about them to have a strong opinion, because it's such a broad category of disparate things. It's like saying you hate food or that you hate movies.

Don’t need to know enough about them to know that it’s not athletic in the slightest (maybe for your fingers, but that’s it)

How is that relevant? Esports are their own thing, they aren't sports.

 

Do you hate reading because it's just turning pages?

You’re right, I went off topic on how I hope it never makes it into the Olympics. 
 

No, I hate it because it’s very boring and not for me. I’ve watched a replay before on YouTube (and stopped within a couple of minutes, it was painful trying to understand it and get excited for it), so it’s not like I didn’t giving it a try.
