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?

Yes, they are going to stay, but as a show, like WWE Wrestling, never like real sports.

I'd say more competitive Chess or Pool since it's still a real competition, just a non-athletic one, unlike WWE.
