eSports I think is more than merely "playing any sort of game in a competitive context"

It's like, a thing, generally involving games that involve direct competition and that have like major events and streams and sponsors and shit. they're sort of actually run like professional athletics

There is plenty of direct competition in speedrunning. People are always bettering each others WRs or trying to win race tournaments.

GDQ could be considered that event you speak of if they just had a few slight easy tweaks. One would be to just keep a GDQ record for every category. The second would to have a competitive racing block.

A couple of the top runners on twitch are now sponsored by and on esports teams. I know they are few and far between but it exists.
