Competition – yes…
Sport – no….

Sport inherently needs physical exercise… and yes.. I discount anyone who says Darts is a sport.

It’s a past-time, hobby or competition, not a sport.

PS in the UK NHS there were studies about surgeons who played games and those who didn’t…
Those who played games were quite a lot better at key-hole surgery and the hand/eye co-ordination than those who didn’t play…
Obvious or what…?

Wheres does “all the players have to pay for their “vacation” in Minsk themselves (travel, living expenses)” give much chance of “compensation”…??

I would say, for world of tanks specifically, hand coordination and reflexes matter less than in a lot of other esports games (CSGO for example); generally speaking you’re not performing really precise aiming, and you don’t tend to get surprised a lot.

Rather, I think what matters the most is the overall strategy being used by the team, and the individual player skills in terms of situational awareness and making good individual tactical decisions.

No, it was a research done by the university of Montana. They compared people who played FPS games for 50 hours in contrast to people who didn’t.

Aw god, nobody cares about WG’s pathetic attempt to establish WoT as an “E-Sport” title. This game has nothing which would qualify itself for that.

Is NASCAR also not a sport?

I think it’s somewhat ignorant to say that e-sports players have better reflexes and hand coordination compared to average people. I doubt there was actually a test about it(there was a test to determine if playing FPS games improves reflexes, but it didn’t include the quality of play).

So now gold ammo compensates for tactical sense, situational awareness, reflexes and knowledge of game mechanics(all of which are needed for a high WR)? Good to know.
