Heya!
I'm not sure why they Esports are PC preferred but one of the things could be the Raw input of the mouse and keyboard / the aim assist consoles give but I doubt that that would be the reason.
I found an article that maybe explains this in more detail and I get why they only limit it to PC players.
Gamer assault weekly - Why PC esports is preferred over console.
Apex isn't dying on PC and isn't filled with hackers.
Yes there are a couple but there are also mouse and keyboard players on console/players with a modded controller 😛
That article was a good read thank you,
I am only going by what I have read on the forums regarding the gaming dying and the constant abuse of hackers and you are right I've seen people use modded controllers firing a Hemlock single fire in what sounds and looks like automatic (impossible for a standard controller) so yes you are right however it is such a small minority.
I am in the process of switching over to PC but from what I have seen regarding que times the PS4 que times are instant what ever time of day but PC ques times seem to be a fair chunk slower and this would suggest to me the numbers are a lot less?
Overall I just think the game is so big on console I don't think I will ever understand why the competitions are not held on console
IMO, it probably boils down to sponsors and money.
I've seen it suggested elsewhere on the forum so i'm literally just echo'ing this idea, but implementation of private lobbies would be the simplest solution. Folk would be able to host their own apex tournaments on any format then, obviously that wouldn't be on the same scale as the esports ones but i think itd still be a pretty cool idea.
