BR as a gametype doesn't work with eSports. There's too much luck involved with randomly spawning loot and different drop points. Although PUBG is much more skill-based than Fortnite, it's still not good for serious eSports due to those reasons. Even if you have the very best team in the world, you still won't win 100% of the time. That's why CSGO has static maps that have no changing elements, and play exactly the same every round.
But yes, it'd be great if they changed the terrible recoil in Fortnite
I feel even though PUBG, Fortnite are the more popular BR's. H1Z1 has come the furthest along as a eSport even with the declining player base. For example Champions Arena. and H1PL "H1 (Pro League) Which is starting soon.
I really hope H1Z1 can make a comeback it is truly a good game!
Yep. H1Z1 is really good, although I can't support anything the devs have done with it. I don't really like the PUBG devs due to how they act sometimes, but H1Z1 really deserves a different team making executive decisions for it.
