Because streams still have terrible quality compared to television.


How is that even remotely true? Half the streams here on TL already offer 1080p.

I would totaly watch it. I don't have this channel but if it did broadcast some SC2, I would certainly pay the price to get it.

When is the last time your TV started buffering or hanged up completely for extended periods of time?

Resolution isn't the sole quality measure.

You could flip that around though and say when is the last time you could watch two channels at the same time while chatting with people around the world and monitoring TL....on your TV.

Hell yes I would. I registered to team liquid just to say yes. I don't even have cable,I download all my shows or use hulu/netflix but for sc2 i'd make it my mission to get cable with espn2 to watch it legit. I mean I just paid $40 for a virtual ticket to blizzcon and I'll only be watching sc2: heart of the swarm info and the sc2 tournament they'll be hosting. I already paid to watch gsl on gomtv.net twice. And I watch MLG and any other tournaments I get wind of. I watch youtube videos on my lunch break on my android. I mean come on. Why?? Simply because its entertaining. Starcraft is completely unique and there is so many options and strategies and micro-ing that its really cool to watch professional players do what you do but 10x better. Just like anyone else who plays a sport chances are they watch it on tv. I don't play sports as an adult. I play starcraft.

Isnt this just the thing we are working towards not thinking.. Thought we all worked towards getting esports the recogniztion as a sport.

I wouldn't either tbh. And honestly after hearing djWHEAT's argument against having SC2 on ESPN I'm feeling a bit iffy about it. I'd love for e-sports to be a mainstream thing, but public television may not be the best medium with all the commercial breaks and what not.
I need this place like I need a shotgun blast to the face.

Unfortunately leagues like the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB will always be superior because of the big corporations and million dollar TV deals.

A lot of college students are into college football..

and guess what? A lot of times the college games don't always get covered by the big networks, a lot of times they air on ESPN...
So there you go, a lot of college students will have cable.

Getting national exposure on a major cable network can be nothing but good for E-sports in terms of growth.

That is a CRAP ton of ad-revenue, like A CRAP TON.
Blizzard will be rolling in cash.
What is?

Yeah my one concern is how they handle commercial breaks. I mean stranger things have happened, like seeing Premiere League on Fox (lol?)

And soccer only has two halves (barring OT), so what has to be done is one-screen ads, with informational bubbles sponsored by XYZ. I can see SC2 being successful if it goes that route. Obviously they aren't taking ad-breaks during games, but between games.

With no power comes no responsibility?

This is a terrible idea.
There are nowhere near enough people interested in watching this on TV.
It will just fail miserably and get cancelled, try getting back on after that.
