I think there is a much going on as ever, but because RTS games tend to be on the more heavier side to get in to and get good enough at to really enjoy it, it isn't featured as much as any of the generic FPS/BR/DOTA style games. While there might be less of an SC2 eSports bonanza going on right now, there is Age of Empires that is pretty active (as was posted here as well). I think one of the major impacts to the 'visibility' is the fact that 'generic' or 'casual' games have social buy-in that is orders of magnitude bigger than what we used to think of when talking about 'big games' or 'big communities' or 'active genres'. 10000 players or even 100000 players used to be top-tier. Now that's less than 1% of any of the 'big' games out there right now.
