As someone who has worked for several European companies try explaining american football scoring to a non-american and let me know how easy that is. That's basically just scratching the surface of it.

Saying you can boil it down to one side moves a ball the other side tries to stop them is pretty disingenuous. You can boil down basically any game to that. Counter strike you just kill the other team, mobas you just destroy the other teams base, etc. I know you didn't make that point but that's what most of the arguments in this thread are.

The difference: I have an intuitive understanding how hard it is to catch a football if a bunch of people runs towards me. Even if I never touched a football in my life. I have no intuition on what the eSports player can and can not do with their controls and the physics engine.
