Short answer: yes, it's worth the effort if you approach it correctly.
**Why:** once you have done it once, the second time takes half the effort. Specifically with esports: start simple and add complexity only when justified.
**Watch out for:** skipping warm-up. This catches a lot of people who assume esports is simpler than it actually is.
**To go deeper:** find 2–3 real examples from people who have dealt with it in production.
Realistic time to feel confident: plan for a month then reassess.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about esports will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 9 years of working with real has actually taught me.
Everyone who's good at this now was terrible at it for longer than they'd admit.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to finding one person who had already done it and asking specific questions. After that, improved my time by 12 seconds.
The one thing I would prioritise: do not compare your beginning to someone else's middle.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
