Even if you make a standard format, the audience will continue to watch what it's currently playing. The most amazing part of esports to me is that games are so accessible anyone can get into a game and try to be competitive, and that really gives you a sense of what the game is like to play and how hard it is to get good. Then you tune into esports out of curiosity to see how good people can actually get and your mind is blown.
On the other hand I will never know what it feels like to drive F1, so even though on the whole it's more impressive to drive a F1 car around the track, it will not amaze me as a StarCraft pro picking apart a Marine-Tank line, because I've tried to do that so many times I know exactly how hard it is.
So esports audiences mainly watch what they're playing, and it's better for it, and they won't be playing some standardized game.
