The game has the potential to become a Esports game, but needs serious changes in various aspects of the game in order to officially become one.

I would not support Esports only because the elite players/teams would sheepify the community, draining all thought from gameplay.

Without various major changes to the game, it is unfairly unlikely to become one as of now.

They did a test run last year at esports. Still unsure if they're gonna to officially add Wows to Esports or not. but highly unlikely

[BlazerSparta]

Not even close. There are huge sets of mechanics that are completely unrefined *coughCVscough* or that just plain do not belong in any kind of competitive environment *coughDetonationscough*.

Drifting in the water at high speeds while avoiding torpedoes like a pro? Sign me up.

As someone who's worked with people who watch that stuff I agree.

No.

 

Wargaming has never had a game allowed into Esports because the RNG removes skill. It's far to heavily reliant on luck.

 

That's why World of Tanks was denied entry, so Wargaming started their own league up and refer to it as an Esport, but it isn't. In fact, there's so little interest in it at all, that the best team in it (from Russia, no less) quit due to a complete lack of interest of anybody watching it.

I've seen it a few times, but  this game moves at the pace of a constipated turtle, not a very exciting thing to watch in Esports. It'll never last.

The reason why it won't be an E-Sport can be summed up by the NA vs EU community contributor stream:

 

Two thirds of the game spent hiding behind islands and in smoke, followed by a steamroll as soon as one side makes a mistake.
