FPS — tactical round-based
First-person shooters in competitive play run round-based economies. Teams buy utility, take map control, plant or defuse, and reset for the next round. The most-watched FPS circuits reward aim duels, mid-round calls and retake discipline. Boost tracks the maps that decide series and the coaches that read them.
MOBA — draft and macro
MOBAs run a pick-ban phase, a laning phase, an objective phase, and a teamfight phase. The first ten minutes often decide the game. Boost translates draft theory into what a viewer should watch during the early game, and explains the macro rotations that decide the late game.
Battle Royale — endgame and rotations
Battle royale circuits reduce a large map to a small circle over a fixed window. Rotations, third-party windows, and the endgame composition matter more than early-game aim. Boost tracks the regional circuits that decide who qualifies for international brackets and explains the late-game calls that decide a placement.
Fighting — matchups and bracket resets
Fighting game circuits run pool play into a bracket. The bracket reset is the most-watched mechanic — it means the team from the losers’ bracket has to win twice in the grand final. Boost explains matchup theory, frame data basics, and the EVO calendar.
Racing — pace, pit windows, safety cars
Racing circuits run a stint-based format. Pit windows, tyre degradation and safety cars rewrite the strategy on the fly. Boost explains how a race unfolds from lights out to the chequered flag and how strategy calls decide a podium.
