Esports is a huge risk and likely money pit for small developers. Look at the games with successful esports scenes, almost all of them fall into 4 categories
>AAA developer with huge mindshare and playerbase
>Mobileshit that was first to successfuly cash in on a genre
>Fighting game
>Popular old title that still has community tournaments
The one small fry success is Rocket League but they didn't invest into esports until after they got popular, plus they have the advantage of being an extremely accessible game. 
Building a PCVR only game for esports seems crazy to me.
