It will just happen naturally. No need to force it. Just everyone have fun and then one day it will just be on ESPN and we won't even think twice about ti.

TV has a cultural impact. It will only hasten things and it helps those who are a part of the scene now so that those in the future will have a higher standard of a career and livelihood.

DOTA2 is plenty popular just the way it is. There are people who can play it professionally, and people who can make a profession out of distributing the professionals' play. Other players can play it for fun at many levels of play, and do so for free. The company running it is making a tidy profit out of it and shows no signs of reducing support at any point in the near future, or hell, even the long run. Everything is completely fine, and there's no need to force things one way or another.

Guys you are missing the point. He can't get a job in esports unless we save it so you had better start buying everything and donating to save esports otherwise clauf will fail and azubu will reign supreme.

I wonder if we'll ever have just a gaming channel. Though I guess Twitch TV is essentially what I wanted when I was a teenager.

dont know why people are gung-ho to jump on a 100 year old platform thats becoming less relevant every year.


because of its cultural impact and because it still retains a large portion of both the main demographic that large businesses target and is consumed much more than via internet television (about 10 to 20x more per week).

This is not even mentioning its weight in Asia.

Let's not get into generational values and the generation that are currently heading these major conglomerates.

Not to mention the cultural significance of television and that viewing habits still favour TV-watching by nearly 20 hours more than online viewing a week (MarketingCharts.com - 2013).
