FPS is much more of a visceral experience to me. RTS is perfect for esports IMO. Even superficially, think about soccer or football. The spectator can see the whole field. Players work as a team to orchestrate big plays. Different players have distinctly different roles. The parallels go on. FPS has a lot of this, but it gives the player a more visceral experience- and as a trade-off, makes it more difficult for a spectator to "watch the game". The part about having to understand some of the lingo and all? Well, football (both US & EU) is completely obtuse to the uninitiated.
