I think you need a more powerful opening, If I was a CEO at ESPN and saw those opening lines, I wouldn't bother reading the rest. Idk, for somebody who has no idea about e-sports to understand it fully and the potential it has, and then take action on it, I really think it's going to take more than this.

Idk why, I love watching SC2, would just think it'd be embarssing to have it on ESPN. Just not the channel I'd like to see it on... then again I also don't really care to see fishing on ESPN either, so whatever!

I think there would be a massive public outroar against it, however.

ESPN2 has niche stuff like spelling bees. Showing starcraft isn't that outlandish...

considering ESPN covered MLG in the past and dropped it like 2 years ago.... i like the idea but dont unfortunately think it will accomplish much

1. Its pastime
2. Powerade is made by the Coca-Cola
3. ESPN/ESPN2 has shown magic the gathering matches on tv so why the hell can't sc2 be on tv??

You'd be better off trying Spike TV or G4 TV.

The same type of email could be sent to other channels - G4TV, Spike, etc. ESPN is just the one the original reddit guy started it with.

You want to move monthly here from in front of tournament to in front of prize pool, this makes the reader associate the money as a recurring prize and inflates their mental sense of how big the tournament is. Also, this sentence is grammatically incorrect, the comma should be replaced with something else.

A better sentence is something like this:
The GOMTV Global Starcraft II League is the biggest example of a professional Starcraft 2 tournament. It is a tournament based in South Korea that has a bi-monthly prize pool of $170,000.


That is a better lead-off to the rest of the description of the league.

Do you honestly believe ESPN will be remotely interested in promoting some niche RTS game that draws at most some 20-40 thousand online viewers?

ESPN viewership is in the millions, and I doubt advertisers would be interested in promoting SC2.

Lets be happy with our little corner of the internet and help ensure that it stays alive for years to come. Expanding our E-Sports universe is going to take baby steps not giant leaps of faith.



They broadcast the national spelling bee so yeah that might have some interest in niche gaming.

Magic the Gathering was shown on ESPN several times. The do show the Madden Challenge, which would probably draw more viewers, but it is a video game. There is a lot of garbage on ESPN and ESPN 2 during non-peak hours and you never know if there is a spot for this.

this would be cool. I mean, it'll probably not happen for years and years, but you might be the one to get the ball rolling on this. I support you and would sign any sort of petition or whatever.

I can just imagine the name eESPN, lol.

One thing that I thought of while reading this post is that it doesn't necessarily need to be broadcast on any of ESPN's cable channels. ESPN has espn3.com which shows some of the wackiest shit ever. Lots of football, Cricket, Canadian handegg, you name it.

That might be a better avenue even if ESPN coverage is a longshot. Even restreams could fly.

Food for thought.
This is well below quality expected of a post in any forum. -Empyrean

I don't think this will fly. Plus lets be serious here, why would ESPN broadcast a videogame? They didn't cast Halo games and that was huge when it first came out. And frankly, I don't think they should cast SC2, love the game but that's all it is. Most people that watch ESPN want to watch football, baseball, basketball, soccer and of course poker.

Now theres an idea. Might actually work with those stations.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

I think like G4 or Vs. would be better for this, and easier to actually happen.

espn2 is much more likely. espn is way too into the big 3 US team sports. they barely touch hockey and soccer, and the only poker they show is the world series.
