Current FPS eSports are like golf... PS eSport would be like the NFL or NBA.

I covered this in a post....
this thread IS 12 pages long so I forgive you for not reading it :P
Outfit vs Outfit is the only way I could see it being popular because it WOULD fail to beat
dedicated arena games at arena eSports combat.
So it would HAVE to be large scale and it might even be really cool and take off.... there are some wicked logistics with getting 100-200 players just on 1 team together reliably with mixed schedules etc so I have some pretty substantial doubts on it getting pulled off.
Persistent battles are different than scheduled matches. Persistent battle is just whoever's on is on... but eSports tends to require more structure than that.
