I think at the minute the problem, if you could call it that is that the people who currently watch csgo and league, dota etc. prefer to watch from the players viewpoint so that they can see everytime they fuck up so they can spam a wall of failfish in chat. This doesn't help the broader appeal of the game though. I think ultimately what would be good is the spectating camera operated by competent people and directors to frame the action properly, with like picture in picture to flick between streams from the player screens and then maybe go full screen on a players monitor if they were on a tear up. The problem is getting developers to spend the money to code those camera options in.

I think, especially in team based games, there is potential for some really good viewing from a wider angle as you will be able to see the teams working together, moving across the maps, their lines of fire, etc. I totally acknowledge that all the time this is going on you are potentially missing the mlgnoscopez action from the direct players feed. But I it was being done properly, you would have PIP from the casters end of whoever was playing well at the time, and you could also go for replays of stuff if something good happens while watching the arena.
