Heroes of the Storm was a lot of fun and had a great community. IMHO, that's one of the big problems with e-sports: They're clearly at the mercy of the publisher. Even more recently: Halo Infinite came out, was supposed to be the next best thing. A bunch of people changed games to play that, expecting a huge scene. It failed to really make an impact on the market and left a lot of players high and dry. I think the best way (but not the most profitable way) is for companies to commit to a certain number of years with a base prize pool, and then sell team cosmetics that have a large % of the price added to the prize pool. Too many professional careers are based on streaming income, and there is very little way for a viewer to support the scene other than watching.
