when u say "esports" u mean "league of legends esport scene" cause espors existed before to league and dota, in fact one of the oldest scenes would be the fps community and the fgc(fighting games community) with tournaments back in early 00's halo,counter strike and mid/late 90's street fighter turbo 3rd strike ,tekken 3 etc. Yet the moba scene are more profitable, for having leagues where players have salary instead of fighting games where there's a tour and in order to make money u have to be at least on top 8 of a tornament.
