Wow before sc2 came out I coudn't believe the hype that it could become a nationalally respected "sport" in America. This is surreal to see. maybe one day we'll have isl finals in a stadium with thousands of fans watching

ESPN has been tight with MLG before.

It's no secret ther ratings are terrible for age groups below 40.

The xbox live deal also speaks to this.

Would not be surprised if clueless suits with clever advisors are behind this but all publicity is good publicity so ... go eSports!

This will not be the last the scene hears about ESPN.

If we want to get really picky here, it should be stylized as "StarCraft".

Could this be the breaking point of SC2 getting mainstream coverage? Everything seems to be going up from here.

I do belive that they provided a Satalite truck for MLG back a few years but the net neutrality crazys sabotaged the whole deal.

ESPN FTW!

Why is this guy getting so much publicity... I'm sure he's not the first person to start playing an online game from a sports background. He's not even "good" at the game so it's not like there's anything he has to show for it.


Well, let's hear about all the other NBA players who are into Starcraft then

Tim Duncan and David Robinson, at least.

This is cool. Thanks ESPN!

"then this summer I built my own computer."

Damn I didn't expect him to be that much into computers. I keep liking this guy more and more.

Are you really confused or are you facetiously trying to make a (poor) point?

It's on ESPN's videogame blog -- SC2 already had a lot of publicity there.
