Not only that but it's something Kotaku is getting the blame for rather than this dimwit editor who did a half-assed editorial piece.

One thing I find interesting is that most of the responses are about SC2... but what about the rest of pro-gaming?

In the PC Gamer editorial the writer correctly says that not all games are good as e-sports. FPS games don't work because there is no good way to spectate a match. The best games for e-sports are actually RTSs and RTS-like games for the following reasons:

1. Spectating is easy. You have a good view of what's happening, without the hectic movements the actual player sees.

2. In SC2 as a spectator you know more than the two players and that creates an interesting sense of tens...

Oh I forgot the last line: And since SC2 is the best balanced game of this kind it is atm the best-suited as an e-sport.
