EPTThe other way is all Delayed broadcasting and you get rid of all the between match delays and can schedule adverts much better. The main issues with this is that if you delay the games too much they become out of date, it is more conduceive to a fixed time and long games can screw that over and may end up being cut out but as long as Replays are released It wont be too big of an issue for most people I think.

And to the people that are saying they prefer to watch SC2 on streams, this isn't aimed at you. Stuff doesn't grow if it's always being catered to the same people. | ||

Taken from Dictionary.com The problem here is the first part, athletic activity. Go ask random ppl if they consider playing a video game as athletic activity. The closest with starcraft at this time you will get is esport. | ||

I say that gaming will be considered as a sport some day. It will be in its own catagory and not compared to other sports, but be in itself a sport, problem is that people have their heads up their asses so they dont think to when sports were made up, there was no technology. Now there is. Times change sports come from different types of games. Whether the game is hockey, starcraft, or fishing. Welcome to the future nay sayers. And for anyone saying that starcraft is not physically demanding enough to be a sport, i just have to say, go watch golf. Sad that we still have to compare starcraft to other sports, but gaming is not that far ahead yet, in the next ten years it will be for sure though, so 2020 gaming will be considered sports but it will just be called gaming. I thought people knew this already... | ||

Same for car racing (though it could be argued there's more of a physical component there than gaming...but not a huge disparity) and ESPN airs both that and poker tournaments. I believe they even had a few madden tournaments a couple of years ago, so it seems within reason that sc could be included at some point. It would certainly broaden the audience to a different base. | ||

Things like Poker, Curling, Snooker, Darts, Bowling, Golf, etc. All have their controversy concerning this matter and it will never go away, simply because individuals have their own standards. But if Poker got accepted by ESPN as a sport, then SC2 can also be accepted as a sport regardless of what you or the dictionary definition says. | ||

I thought people knew this already... Sigh, its not about nay saying or anything. We are talking about ESPN, a channel for the mainstream audience (i think, not american). Its simple, if the masses don't consider it as one, it doesn't matter if it fits in the definition and such. The fact is, for them you are still just playing a video game. So since the they don't consider it as one, do you think it will get the same rules as one? I mean about the ppl talking here but in x sport its like that. Believe me, i want it to be considered as one, and we are making progress but we simply aren't there yet. | ||

If they can't enjoy it to the point they'll refuse to acknowledge it's classification as a sport, they wouldn't be watching in the first place. Anyone who would enjoy watching SC2 on ESPN would probably admit it's a sport. If they enjoy watching it and won't admit it, well, they're still watching. | ||
