History
Counter-Strike, Dota, League of Legends, and Valorant have been considered too violent for an Olympic-style esports competition.
The Olympic Movement held an esports summit in October 2017, followed by an IOC Esports Forum in July 2018.
Despite this, the IOC did not consider adding esports to the Olympic Games due to the lack of an international federation and violent games.
