Strategy games are generally much more entertaining to watch than FPS games. Age of Empires 2 (yes, that one) is relatively easy to follow with a good announcer/caster such as "T90" on Youtube. Other big esports like Dota can be a lot of fun to watch, but require nontrivial knowledge of the game to really understand what's going on.
- ctchocula 4y agoFPS games are entertaining as well. The downside is you need to know: (1) the game (e.g. csgo), (2) roughly know the map (e.g. de_dust2), and (3) have a commentator that breaks down the mindgames both teams are using. If you have all 3 elements, then watching FPS is simply amazing. I've watched a former CS pro (friberg [1]) commentate some csgo matches on his stream. It's simply amazing how much he knows about the game, and some of the mindgames / strategies both teams use. Agree with you that it's a bit easier to know what's going on with RTS games like Age of Empires, since you have a top-down isometric view instead of only first-person view like csgo.
