capnnofapnThe hideous jerseys need to go. Since what you're wearing doesn't really matter for any functional reason, why don't esports players wear stuff that actually looks good? Players could get sponsored by those instagram companies that try to sell you those japanese joggers that make you look like a ninja. Imagine how lame magnus carlsen would look in a houston outlaws jersey.

brodydiemosCS feels like watching the same round over and over most of the time.
Overwatch in it's heyday was incredibly fun to watch
you are an insane person
I feel like I've had this exact argument before with basketball vs hockey as spectator sports. only really in the sense that my friend's point was if you've seen a lot of basketball, it feels like you're watching the same possession over n over. So I kinda said the same abt hockey.
that being said, I always felt like watching overwatch (during any patch honestly) was a headache with the camera work

I get that because I started off thinking the same thing but ended up getting wrapped up in it just because it actually felt Overwatch was taking its scene seriously at first. Following teams and players and performances was made super easy and even just cracking open the game and watching the matches in the client with your own POV with the stream up on the side was super exciting. Shame what happened to it all.

It's the ultra formality of sports uniform carrying over but I never understood why teams can't make cool jackets or belts or other cool shit to rep their team. Build more of a brand for the team and personalities on stage rather then just a bunch of nerds in nerd wear.

I think Apex is the closest any FPS game came to replicating the potential that CSGO had. It was the only game that not only had the movement, feel-good gunplay, and money pumped into it, but it also was super enjoyable to watch from player POVs. Overwatch struggled immensely with the visual clutter and how time-to-kill was extremely long for pretty much every character because of the presence of healers and tanks. Apex unfortunately never was going to rival CSGO because it's a battle royale game, so competitions naturally were not team vs team, but team vs team vs team vs team vs team vs team and so on. Still a very enjoyable game with high skill ceiling.
VALORANT is now the only FPS that rivals CSGO because... it's a copycat. Very similar guns and formatting. Former CS pros were instantly dominant when the game was first released, and still have a leg up on naturally adopting the game. Only real difference is the introduction of class-based abilities. Tanks the watchability of the game, but zoomers like the bright colors. Oh, and tons of money was pumped into it by Riot.
The only eSport that still not only rivals but probably surpasses CS is League of Legends. It's a team based game that is fairly easy to watch IF you are familiar with the game (and if not, then yeah its pretty hard). It gets a massive amount of money and time spent by Riot, the game is balanced, lots of individual skill can change the game, etc. But its not an FPS and it's most popular in Asia, so we don't really talk about it on tftv that much.
