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?

    No. eSports is currently a shrinking industry. It’s here to stay but it doesn’t show signs of overtaking.

    Even if it starts to get big again, it’s better compared to competitive Chess or Pool or even Motorsports than conventional sports.
