>We could see an FPS rise in eSports prominence again

Arguably CS:GO has been picking up steam lately hitting the #2 spot on Twitch.tv fairly constantly and spiking greatly during big tournaments.

This announcement couldn't have come at a better time as FPS is once again gaining competitive traction.

Maybe this will finally push Valve to upgrade to 128 tick competitive servers if they wish to grow CS:GO quicker.

Think about it ... we're getting open-source game engines with streaming and competitive scenes reigniting, this is awesome.
