They'd be in a giant pissing contest to determine with a pretense of "meritocracy" who among them belongs in the most True Hardcore Epic freeze-gamer caste, which of course would be their ruling class.

Likely some MOBA/soulslike hellscape with actual murder and sabotage because of the stakes involved, lots of cheating (that would be ignored or punished arbitrarily depending on the popularity and clout of each esports warrior doing it), and ultimately the most sociopathic assholes would come out on top.

Not too far from the current state of the world overall, except more cringe.
