It seems to me like there's a mismatch between the traditional sports business model and esports. E-sports may not end up looking like the NFL. It could just be individuals with huge followings. Instead of teams that pay for housing and training and salaries like the NFL, esports teams will just have administrative staff and not much else.
There are a lot of prolific people in esports that argue the same, that esports should be a grassroots, fan-driven thing, rather than the sponsor-driven model
