What I don't get about this line of argument is why we can't have the ability to watch SC2 online and on television.

Its not like we have to choose one or the other or give up entirely on the internet for television.

because SC on American television would be less enjoyable for us hardcore viewers than on online


relax its only MLG on ESPN, You can always watch DH,IEM,GSL,NASL, and IPL online.

if MLG suffers from this, Then so be it. I mean how important is MLG compared to those other tournaments?

Why would they air commercials in the middle of a game? Games are fairly short especially in sc2. They could just air commercials after games like all the streams do. Sometimes that means after 10min sometimes after 20 or more, its the average that matters and sc2 games average around 18min or so.

If they keep the format as they do on stream, I could see this working out pretty nicely!

I would LOVE to be proven wrong but you guys really need a reality check. American TV is not like TV from around the world.

Aside from the soccer broadcasts, they follow a fairly rigid schedule. You get about 22 minutes of air time per half hour, and they're not going to stick 8 minutes of ads in a single block.

LOL! the irony of having MLG on ESPN2 just so you could watch it on a different stream is awesome.

You can still use stream to watch but the idea is that this will add more viewers n attract more sponsors. Sponsors pay for teams and tourneys, so increased number of sponsors really means growth in sc2 for US.

Maybe they can run it like old US soccer broadcasts, normally uninterrupted, but occasional mid -action breaks, and when they return they do highlights of the portion missed (i.e. picture-in-picture with the live broadcast).

Most games are left alone, but particular long ones have their important moments still viewed if you have to cut away.

This would be cool, but adblock doesn't exist on TV, so I think I'd watch it online still. Also, TV subscription is expensive and I don't even have ESPN 2. Sorry Sundance, I still voted yes because it'd be great exposure for SC2 to a wider audience.
good vibes only

i think ESPN noticed barcrafts and wants to broadcast Starcraft on ESPN specifically to charge for bars. >.>
