Google's John Mueller was quick to debunk a claim that owning an .esports domain will have no positive SEO effect. He said on Bluesky, "There's no positive SEO effect from a TLD like that."

Here are those posts:
John has been saying this for a decade, saying new TLDs have no SEO advantage. That keyword based TLDs don't give you an advantage.
So this is not new, but hey...
