: I think the reason the games like dota and LoL picked up so huge in the
: eSports community and Twitch and stuff is the same reason Starcraft did.
: Ultimately it's the ability to see the playing field as a spectator in a
: way that real sports allow you to and FPS does not. In order to watch an
: FPS competitively, you switch between different POV cameras and only show
: from one player's view. In LoL, like Soccer and Football, you can view the
: whole field and team as a whole and watch it like you would any other
: sport.

No denying this, it's just that these types of games are vastly inferior to RTS games.
