For rocket league, the content creation scene is much bigger than the pro scene. As a developer once said, is very GIFable. Combined with the flexibility of the game itself, you see nearly endless possibilities for content creation. More than half of the top content creators for this game are "casual" players[1]. Casual is quoted because they're still grand champion level but nowhere near the pro level. There are also pros turned content creators that are familiar with unreal engine and create really cool stuff (eg lethamyr). On the other end of the spectrum is sunless khan who creates video essays about rocket league[2]

Rocket League is very watchable by people unfamiliar with it too. It's just Pong in 3D. It's 3v3, and you can manipulate the paddle in very creative ways, but it's basically just as simple.

I was pretty much done with gaming until I found Rocket League. It's one-of-a-kind in so many ways, I'm not sure it'll ever be outdone. If it can't survive an industry crash, I don't think any eSport game will.
