Do you think esports may eventually become as much of a phenomena as sports? How so? - eviltoast

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, I think it has mostly peaked. It is only as popular as the game being played, and that always fluctuates as games get less exciting, get changed, or new ones come out. Also gamer nerds aren’t exactly cool or worth caring about outside of the game they’re really good at.
