I have a feeling a lot of people who voted yes voted so because they want to promote ESports into mainstream media, but if given a choice are going to watch it from their computers anyways. | ||

Not sure if that was a miss-quote or idiocy because the post or portion of a post that you quoted has no real negativity in it. It just looks like he's saying they've partnered before so it wouldn't be surprising if they did so again. As for the question at hand, in all honesty... I don't know if I'd watch televised Starcraft unless it's done really well and really big and I don't think that could happen due to the nature of the game. I think that having pre-planned pauses for commercials would ruin it for live audiences which I feel really add to the experience and are one of the reasons I like watching MLG events, it would also have an impact on the gameplay. Pauses clearly affect the players, when you're strenuously maintaining 200+ effective APM for 20 minutes and suddenly you stop so they can play a few commercials, it could potentially throw you off. If it goes the route of recorded footage, edited for television, it would make more sense, but that would kill some of the reason I'm more interested in MLG events over the replay-cast IPL events, quite simply, I feel a lot more excitement knowing that the game is being played right then. There's a lot of issues that would have to be addressed to get Starcraft onto ESPN, and even if all of those are addressed, I'm not certain if I would be prompted to watch it if an online alternative were available. To be honest, I'm not even sure if some of those issues can be addressed without some sacrifices being made on the part of the Starcraft broadcast or on the part of ESPN. | ||

Would I tune in? Nope, rather watch on a stream so I can multitask in the meantime. These days with HTPCs and such, I see no reason to confine myself to a tv. | ||

Actually, by calling him "captain negative" and telling him to "gtfo please", you're the one who's being negative. Please learn to read, so that you don't post stupid stuff like this anymore. | ||

Because YOU don't watch TV you don't want to see our game be made accessible to the masses (TV)? To make it easier for bars? All because you don't want to watch it? And since when was ESPN2 a premium sat package? I mean I guess it probably is in some, but I'm sure they don't plan to introduce a new sport as a pay-to-watch when it's already free-to-watch online. I mean.. wtf. edit -- whoops the poll is about whether or not you would watch, if you honestly are unable to watch and voted no, then my bad. accurate poll results are good. The question is "Would I tune in?" My answer is no. As you said, accurate poll results are good. I love all the ESSSPURTSSS fans getting hurt over my response. I love this game but I wouldn't watch it on TV because...I can't and don't want to (again, no TV). | ||

Mmm If ESPN 2 shows live MLG during those 3 days it would get A LOT more than 17k replies. do a twitt about PBA Bowling at some hour during the day and see if it gets 17k replies. I'm not sure. It will all dependes if the casters are good. Yeah I would love to see day9, jp, djwheat, tastosis and some more on ESPN, but there are others I wouldn't watch. So I voted yes. | ||

Yeah if it goes onto TV and it's prerecorded it wouldn't be for people already in the sc2 community who watch streams all the time.. we would just find out the results via the internet and watch in online :/ | ||
