South Korean University now accepts gamers as student athletes

Man, remember how your folks would harass you about get ahead in life rather than molting in front of a video game for 42 hours on end? Throw this in your ma's face: Chung-Ang University in South Korea now considers competitive gamers the same as traditional athletes. And it's a top 10 (South Korean) school! 

The university will begin accepting eSports applicants starting next year, with students matriculating into the school's Department of Sport Science - previously home to the ball sports you'd generally associate with college athletes. 

The move seems a little non-traditional, but let's not forget that South Korea has a robust gaming community that's a bit more mainstream than it is in places like the US Live public gaming tournaments are a spectacle in South Korea, often televised with the kind of fanfare we associate with professional wrestling. 

Now that Chung-Ang University is accepting gamer-athletes, we can only hope the next step is a giant badass gaming stadium on campus.
