This post makes me wonder.
What kind of other games would be worthy of becoming an eSport?
Literally every eSport that is well known is a MOBA, which isn't even friendly to people who don't play MOBA games. Compared to sports like Soccer, it's somewhat difficult to understand and associate with the players.

An esport needs what a normal sport needs to be a sport.
To be a sport it needs at least 2 of these traits
Cheap and accessible (this is why sports like football are around. Same goes for things like league of lengends or DOTA2)
A large fan base (dont matter how crappy, if it has a large fanbase it will make money and therefore be successful)
Very fun to play even though its boring to watch (baseball is not fun to watch but it's very fun to play, esport mirror of this is smash 4).
Rocket leauge has 2 of the 3 needed.
