Sports are a massive phenomena, to say the least, and esports definitely seems to want to try to become similar, but so far…I think it may be fair to say it’s struggling at that, outside of maybe some specific games and countries (…Is StarCraft still a thing in South Korea?).

Do you think that might eventually change, and if so what might contribute to it being alongside regular sports in terms of conversations & attention?

    I think there’s a VERY good possibility. There are a lot of kids with E-Sports and Streaming dreams in their heads. Nobody my age had dreams of E sports, because it wasn’t a thing. We all played them, but there was no online play, you only knew how good you were compared to your friends!

    A lot of these kids are going to keep their passion growing as they age. Just like my generation grew up and recently brought D&D into the mainstream, I think these kids might be more accepting of E sports as they age.
