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.

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.

I don’t play games but really enjoy rainbow six siege games from a viewer pov.

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

What about CS? Valorant? They pull in numbers

As someone not playing valorant I think it’s really confusing to watch. Not quite to the level of League of Legends or DOTA2 but still.
Counter strike is more straight forward as you don’t have multiple heroes with their own powers.
On the other hand street fighter or rocket league are the easiest to watch, followed I feel like by CS.

To be fair, the different powers more or less boil down to the same pieces of utilities. The smoke or molly is just a different color each time.
