As long as the competitive scene is dominated by newly hatched 18 year olds it will not be viewed as a legitimate thing.. Also stop calling this sport because it is not. It just makes us look like desperate idiots when we have to oversell it. Use the word competition and market it like chess does.

The other thing that is hindering it is also seggregation.  Football is football no matter where you are playing it. Call of duty is just call of duty,  but then there are league of legends,  battlefield,  fifa,  etc. The general public will have difficulty keeping up with what the rules are whenever a new thing becomes the new thing and so will loose interest.  Most of us cant even be bothered to learn american handegg once so getting a breakthrough multiple times is tough. Nothing  in the video game industry lasts forever and so we need to start over every decade basically.
