I get that some of you don't have ESPN, but it still is kinda big for MLG to be on network TV for American e-sports, so you kinda should vote yes no matter what, in my opinion.
exactly, if the question was would you watch, id understand some no's, but who wouldn't want SC2 on a major cable network? You wouldn't be forced to watch it, yet I'd be a great gateway for new fans and sponsors

I haven't voted, but if i were to vote and vote honestly, I would vote no.
I prefer being able to switch through streams and check brackets and comments on my computer. The poll asks if you'd tune in, not if you think it' be cool. I don't have ESPN 2. So even if I wanted to, no I wouldn't be tuning in.

Would tune in on TV if I could

Do not get ESPN but voted yes.

Yes. Don't own a tv, will gladly watch in a bar or the gym.

TV is an totally outdated medium. Esport doesn't work in such a static way like regular TV shows do. MLG will take an entire weekend, you need the community contact, instantly updated live reports, working on the spot to make everything smooth and entertaining. TV just doesn't work this way, and it's a good thing.

Actually, the question is in fact whether you would watch. "would you tune in?"

I haven't voted, but if i were to vote and vote honestly, I would vote no. I prefer being able to switch through streams and check brackets and comments on my computer. I'm not really a TV person. But wouldn't you prefer more production value and money being brought into ESPORTS? Don't you want SC2 to have an armada of sponsorship's that allow for multi million dollar prize pools? This is our chance to finally make this happen. What if everyone in Korea said no to OGN : / Think where broodwar would be today without OGN...

It would be cool if they did something via the internet though.
I watch TV, don't even have cable, and I know a lot of SC2 fans in the same situation.

would I WATCH?
i'll watch if it's worth watching. you can make this amazing or you can show rebroadcasts of events from last year like what was done on the USA network for halo 2.
it's up to you guys @ espn, there's no guarantee everyone will watch more than a couple times unless the show youre putting on is quality and useful. If it is, I'd imagine you getting a ton of viewers.
|
I don't have cable. Though I could just leech from a friend.
|
is this a serious question??? FUCK YES
|
IF YOU VOTE NO YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY HURTING ESPORTS.
But seriously, how can you vote no? You can now watch IdrA vs. Drewbie on your 60 inch w/o needing some crazy shit done.
