Any video game that actually has people watching it at a high level
Too bad the game is balanced around esports and not around the people and how the game is typically played, which is why people enjoy watching it more than they enjoy playing it. Plus the pro players typically go for much more elaborate and "fun" games than for the cheesiest path to get a victory. Which is ironic, considering they are playing for major money and people on the ladder are playing to inflate their epeen.
Typical ladder game:
Open up zerg(random), terran(random) goes 1 base hellion/banshee. First hellions do 0 damage, he follows up with 4 more instead of grabbing an expansion, because why not. I'm on 3 base at the time his first banshee hits my main, I have a queen and a spore crawler, it starts killing some drones. I nydus his base with ling+roach, and it's gg. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Zerg (random) vs Protoss. Open hatch before pool, scout that he hasn't walled his ramp. Assume proxy 2 gate, rush to speedlings. Get speedlings over to his natural, no buildings. Run speedlings up the ramp just as a 2 warp cycle 4gate hits my natural. Lose the natural, put spines in the main. Lings in his base kill all his probes, I hold the army back home, gg. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
