    Can we acknowledge that FPS makes for a terrible esport from a viewer perspective yet?

        Cs is a special case. It has a very nice pacing. And requires no storfisk knowledge to be watched, you can almost not have played cs at all and understand what’s going on.

        I think the finals could also be a very cool esport. With it’s very short rounds and tournament format. Although a bit chaotic.

      It’s less about genre and more about the visual clutter overload, which seems to get exacerbated with each update. Like the last character they teased literally places a giant cylindrical barrier and chains all enemy characters inside or it, plus himself. Now imagine 2 of those

      Depends

      Apex Legends is great to watch as a spectator, especially when you’re able to get multiple points of view.

      I’ve also enjoyed CS esports previously. I’ve actually never been a fan of the LOL/Dota/StarCraft spectating as I find that it makes for a terrible viewing experience, so ymmv.
