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?

I would say no because even though you play sports when you were young as you got older, you tend to keep following the sports. In my case, I played some sports when I was young and I was pretty good but I didn't keep up with it. I fell into the video game crowd but as I got older I quit playing video games as much and also quit keeping up with the video games in general. In my opinion die hard sports fans are always going to be such but gaming comes and goes as we age. Just the opinion of an old man such as myself. Take that with a big grain of ancient salt.
