Traditionally, competitive FPS games are best played on a PC with the help of a keyboard and mouse. However, with developers trying their best to push the E-Sports envelope on consoles and mobile, inevitably, we should be seeing a few more devs trying to push e-sports competitions down the line for mobile gamers.
