I could only watch a few minutes of it, but i was so suprised about that. I hope they do more stuff like that in the future. Well its certainly better than watching their normal programm for me. I just dont dig snooker that much :-p

I wish i could get eurosport. Eurosport also gives coverage of European Weightlifting Championships and World Weightlifting Championships but not a single one of the 5903845 ESPNs in the U.S. will cover it. Now sc2? lol.

Very Very weak. A bit disaponted.

All they did was ... "showing a short interview before/after the next match, show some very short images with a game (replay) set up on normal ... the game looked very slow and boring. No full game just interviews.

WhiteRa beated X. Interview whitera... interview sjow, 2 questions Gooody ... and so on.

Weak. But at least we saw a bit SC2 on TV.

however if a person who dosn't know what SC2 is and what Esports are ... their opinion will not be changed. "JUST KIDS PLAYING VIDEOGAMES" :D

They didn't showed the actuall pressure or something.

I found it quite ok. For my taste, they should have reduced the number of interviews in favor of explaining the game a bit more. I liked how they showed the players spending their free time having fun, portraying them as normal people, not basement nerds. Overall, I expected much worse.

Im so disapointed. They didnt show E-sports as it should be. To much zoom, zoom and stupid random screen clips.The danish commentator was so unable to read the scriot or script was poorly written.

The social aspect was nice tho.

Maybe they are just testing the waters. See how many people tune in, what is the response, etc. If they are showing even 30 mins of E-sports, that means they are definitely looking into it. Maybe it won't happen immediately, but E-sports on TV will become reality outside Korea, in the next few years

. Glad to hear that there is interest in Starcraft 2 though, and come on Eurosport 2 are showing lacrosse, arm wrestling and other stupid sports ffs. Even my grandma will be more thrilled to watch Starcraft 2 than lacrosse.

Well the romanian commentator was ok. He said what you need, micro macro but ... I'm dissapointed on the actuall screen. I was very very bored. Just waited for it to finish.

As someone said above this post... just some zooms on some players, some very quick and boring interviews and that's all.

"I hope I will win"

"I am dissapointed that I lost"

Stuff like that.

But I liked the social part. They should do a show where they explain the esports better. Someone who dosn't know what esports are are just going to say the classic "I WILL WATCH REAL SPORTS LIKE BOX and AMERICAN FOOTBALL !!!111"
