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 guess it depends on the perspective. There are tons of sports out there. Only a small handful of them are massively popular. I mean, fortnite is probably more popular than something like professional badminton or canoeing.
