Hasn't this happened before? Reading the History of eSports will show 'pretty much' the same thing happening in the 80's with High Score Arcade tournaments, then in the 90's with Console Game Championships, etc...

We may see another round of interest when the new wave of gaming systems matures, but I think this will always be the case. Maybe next time people will learn from the past?

That's probably the main issue with esports. They don't really have the longevity established sports do. It's really easy to just move onto the next big thing.

If you read about history of football/soccer in USA you can see how many leagues failed.

Those other sport leagues kept failing too and "franchises" keep switching cities.
