With over 10k different erc tokens, it isn't unheard of for coins to have the same name and the same ticker. more often it is a scam, sometimes it is coincidence. The fact that they have the same name, same ticker, and plan to do esports is concerning. Once one has an idea the market likes, dozens more spring up claiming to want to do the same, and it is basically a race to market acceptance. The most important thing to remember is that until there is a marker viable product or service on the table, assume they are all scams. Airdrop and hodling is probably the safest bet.
I suppose that once a coin/token is on the market someone could diversity the risk, but I haven't studied that method.
