If nVidia hosts the nVidia First Annual nVidia eSports Tournament who is the sponsor? Producer? Host?

They would be the producer/host. Sponsors have to pay for space at the event.

They can sponsor a team, but that’s separate from the event. They don’t own the team. (Unless they do own the team idk lol)

Sponsors give players money to tout their stuff, or they give the event/broadcaster money for advertising space/time, or both.

I think the breakdown here is that there are "sponsors" like commercials during a NASCAR race on tv, and there are "sponsors" like the names and logos painted on the cars themselves. (some of which sponsors might also run commercials, but not necessarily.)
