Can you please stop making a reply like this every time a League of Legends related thread comes up?
Just resort to not clicking on the thread, if the only thing you are gone do is not read the news and make a post like that.

Knitting is an Olympic sport. I would say competitive video games are more viable as a pro sport than fucking knitting

It is not. Where are you getting your sources from? There's a "Knitting Olympics", sure, but that was sent a C&D by the Olympic committee in 2012 because apparently "ravelympics" was too close to the word Olympics. There's never been an official Knitting category in the Olympics. Only homebrew competitions.
I actually had to spend the better part of 25 minutes looking all this up. Wow.
Now, to actually be on topic, I've always found the concept of E-sports to be a bit counterproductive. I mean games are about having fun, and making it into a sport that's super serious kind of stops that. It's weird.

People have been playing games "super serious" since forever. Hell, highscores in arcades were serious business a long time ago. Lots of people actually find the competitive part of it more fun than the laid back do whatever part. If you're one of those people that are completely fine with retards fucking around in public servers because "lol its just a game stop trying so hard [to win] ur supposed to have fun xD", then great you go have your fun, the people who don't like that shit will go have fun being hyper competitive in an environment (hopefully) filled with other like-minded players.

Well, it's not. It's just like professional sports. You start playing around with your friends and then you climb your way get hired by a team, through leagues and so forth.
Remember that sports are also about having fun.

all depend on your type of "fun" is cussing people out and raging over people who done a single stupid move, feed the enemy team purposely, and report them by the end of the round for something stupid and false that can litterly ban people.

This kind of thing don't happen often at a professional level to begin with. When it happens, the team can punish the player to correct it's behavior or expel him if he can't be corrected.
And you should also learn that this is part of a behavior pattern. The more secure of it's own skill and the more games someone has under his belt, the less he's likelly to cuss and rage.
I've been playing Dota for over 8 years, at first I was bad and got upset when people cussed at me, after a year or so of playing (when I thought I knew how to play) I started talking back and there was nothing I did wrong(or so I thought). Today I know how to filter what other people say and identify what is bullshit and what they're right about.
When someone is wrong I can identify in which stage of this pattern they are by how they react when I call them on their mistakes.

I've always thought being super serious about kicking a ball around is weird too but for a lot of people it's normal.
