Reading Smed's response. If it's Television that you are going for and not the traditional ESport it may help to change the terminology you use.
Televised PS2 where outfits are tracked and watched over a period of time in the world could be quite cool and entertaining. As long as what we are watching is real PlanetSide and not some staged competition.
If what you have in mind is sort of like the Hunger Games where there's lots of cameras everywhere and you watch a battle unfold and create a cool way of watching players having fun in the game - that's awesome. Having outfits enter competitions for achieving certain things like capturing the most facilties or holding the most territory or something like that and following them over the course of a few months (season) - that could be cool.
I wouldn't call that an ESport though. I call that playing PlanetSide and having it stitched into entertainment where people could follow around outfits and players they liked who did cool and entertaining things. Yes, that would be fun to watch and be good entertainment. Id' call that PlanetSide TV, not an ESport.
