Totally different thing is eSports tournaments in counter strike or starcraft where you actually need to think, have certain tactics and good reflexes (CS) and even though i don't play those games, tournaments makes sense because Koreans are really into that putting so much effort into strategy and execution of the same.

For this 2K sports championship is really a 'who can cheese better contest'.
When 2K becomes skill-based basketball game then we can talk about eSports championships & tournaments but until then is just who can cheese better and more successful.
One could easily argue that cheesing is a skill, even if it is one that should be minimized
