You provide physical inputs, which are sensitive to timing and agility, to a rule-based competition. It's at least as much a sport as golf or curling or bowling. And I say that as someone who doesn't find eSports particularly compelling. It requires a sophisticated technal infrastructure and doesn't require superhuman levels of strength or endurance (though the latter in particular could be helpful), but those are merely "sliders on the configuration screen" for whether a certain sport is to your interest.
Michael probably agrees.
Clearly you are a Gamer

I meant based on the limited data we have in the comic. If you believe gamings a sport: gamer, I'd not: not a gamer if Michael: Michael
