EPTAnyways, it's amazing to see SC2 actually find its way onto TV, especially onto such a major (?) European TV channel. With GOM finally securing a deal with a kid's channel to show televised GSL and Eurosport broadcasting the awesomeness that is SC2, it's amazing to witness the growth of SC2 as an e-sport. Hopefully, America will soon follow their progress.

And yes Eurosport is the main sport channel in Europe. | ||

 It's in a bit less than 9 hours by the way for the confused ones out there.Really interested to see how they present SC2. It's probably full of misinformation and lacks any depth, but any media exposure is good. | ||

I'm all but sure it will be full of misinformation, but watching starcraft on TV is so awesome I just have to check it out First thing I do when I get home is program my digital television to tape it. EDIT: In Belgium we get eurosport.nl, normally they have Dutch casting of sports. As I really doubt they would hire a SC2 just for this, I really wonder who and how the casting is going to be done. | ||

Once they actually start showing the whole competition even if not live then you can make claims like this. | ||

I agree, if "everyone" tunes in to watch, it will become "more" popular on Eurosport. And in future they might cover tournaments like this more often, which is HUGE for eSports. | ||

Eurosport.nl says at 0:05 VIDEO GAMING: Intel Extreme Masters in Kiev (Oekraïne) For the non-EU people it would be like ESPN (for the US) airing it on TV I guess. Eurosport is the number 1 sports channel afaik. Always watch it for euro cup and world cup qualifiers for soccer. Really great that I can tune in and watch it  | ||

They mostly show the less popular sports like biathalon or cycling. They don't have the big matches in football f.e. But for sure it is a big channel in Europe. | ||
