Looking through all the big ones Sc2/CS:GO/LoL/Dota 2 it seems like Sc2 is the only one that I can think of that is not a team game, does anyone know of some others or am I stuck on Sc2 until something else comes along?

In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Oh yea I completely forgot about fighting games D:

Doubt I'd ever get involved in them though seems like they are less of an online community then I would like.

Chess. It's not electronic per say however like other ESPORTS you don't have to be physically fit to excel.

Poker? It's not an esport but it's a great transition from someone who's played SC a lot.

If you are counting board games, then go with Go!

Tetris and many arcade games are also single player, though are very niche eSports

This is straight up wrong. For anyone who ever played chess more seriously than just for fun, it's obvious that fitness and stamina are extremely important to maintain concentration. The better heart and vascular system are trained, the better they handle stress of difficult positions and time pressure. Also, tournament runs often take several days during which players' energy is gradually drained out; those who excercise usually have more of it at the end of the competition, when everything is decided.

Agreed, I've been to several muti day events and the last few matches can either be your best or a total failure if you lack the energy and motivation to concentrate with the intensity required for hours on end.

There was another game that was pretty popular before SC2, maybe you've heard of it, it was called StarCraft.

SC2 is the only "big" single player esport atm, thats for sure.

Its not the only one though!

I'd personally like a nicely balanced 2v2 / 3v3 fps.
