eSports vs sports

Do you guys think eSports is ever going to be at the same level as sports? Even league the biggest eSports doesn't come anywhere near to level of most big sports. eSports is very young so ig that's the main reason but can't think of any way how eSports becomes as big as sports.

stopped reading at "eSports"

not anytime soon at least

I dont think so
problem with esports is you can pull out random cringe rules out of your ass. Like chamber nerf/ neon buff. Its a different game every update.

Rules of traditional sports very rarely changes. Sure the way the game is played might change but the rules are intact with solid foundations. While in video games things changes constantly and the game might die at any given time and be forgotten.

Is this a real question of is it rhetorical

The problem is that normalized sports that are already at a huge scale not only have the infrastructure, but they also have guaranteed income from things like normalized midroll ads from dedicated television networks, some sort of paid subscription to watch, merchandising, and a form of alternative media (ironically video games). Not to mention the ease of access to learning, the fact that it's something kids can do in school, pro teams having rosters of more than 2-5 players, and having multiple generations of fans being in the same family. Esports is no way near becoming as big and it has way too many problems itself.

not profitable enough in a hyper-capitalist society

literally no chance

there being sooo many games under esports and so less reach compared to other sports i dont think it will ..... like league's peak viewership was ig 6-7M viewers while cricket a sport which is really famous in India and few other countries got like 50+ viewership that also only on OTT and cricket doesn't even have that huge reach as football,hockey etc

And also except CS, League, Dota and maybe even Valo in future ...... how many esports like stayysss in the esports environment or even if it stays how many does people watch after it's "less trendy"

esports doesn't/can't hone there games enough to make it true the closest game were ever got was overwatch had potential too...
esports has too many problems too count like a crazy amount 100k or more lemme give some examples
1-gaming attracts weird people and the doubles or triples when you have a esport
2-unlike regular sports gaming is ever changing and even our most consistent games constantly change so there is little to no value for experience if the meta says ur out u are out
3-no consistency no set idenitity no viewership different meta's give different viewing experiences lets use overwatch as a example
A-dive fast paced fights high tempo boring if u watch bad teams
B-poke comps slow tempo slow paced fights but it only takes one good player or 2 to be fun
C-goats fast good fights terrible viewing experience boring unless the two best teams are playing it but it has the argument of being the most competitive meta in that game

no cuz eSports are for privileged people

Both succesful sports and esports have what I like to call "watchability". They are easy for a layman to stand there and understand the basic principles of the game by just watching and a few explanations.

Football? Two teams of eleven each, objective is to score goals with the ball so they fight for the control of it. Cant use hands except for the goalkeeper. Ends at 90 minutes with two halves of 45 minutes each, the one who has most goals scored at the end wins.

CS/Valorant? Two teams of 5, the objective is to attack/defend bombsites and have the bombs explode or defuse it depending on which side you're playing and/or eliminate the other team. First to 13 points wins with teams switching sides after 12 rounds.

The main problem that sports dont have and esports do is infrastructure. With Football, you can get anything round and soft to kick, 4 wooden sticks and you got yourself a ball and two goals, all you need is people to play. With esports? Before you can even play the game, you need a house with paid electricity, a PC and good internet so your playing experience isnt insufferable and then you have to see if your PC even runs the game you try to play. We may not seem like it but we are very privileged to be able to play a game like this when there are millions out there that can barely afford food.

This is why I dont see esports being as successful as normal sports. At least not in 10 years.

And also because the Olympics barred entry for esports a few years ago.
