Hot take: Every game made specifically for Esports is big trash.

You cannot invent an Esport, you have to start by making a good game that people like to play and naturally get good at. If you make a game that only exists to be played on camera by hyper-elite pro gamers then all that you’ve really done is make a game whose only audience is elitist twats. It won’t be fun, no one will want to play it, and the only way anyone will pay attention to it is if there’s cash incentives. Cash incentives you cannot afford because your game is a flop.
