spectates
Views from sidelines
Spectates is the third-person singular form of spectate, meaning to watch an event as an observer rather than a participant.
The word is a back-formation from spectator, used especially for sporting events or competitions: She spectates at her son's soccer games every weekend.
In gaming, spectate mode lets players observe matches without playing.
