I don't want some bullshit espn executive who allows people to talk shit about "nerds" and "dweebs" to be behind it, only to belittle our effforts to grow esports and have it taken down by someone who doesn't get it. I'm assuming Sundance will be in charge. If there is anyone you can trust to do it right, its him. | ||

Edit: they should also experiment with three casters like they do in most sports and in Korean SCBW/SC2 broadcasts | ||

The only way they can get it on is if it's some highlight show which doesn't do SC enough justice (and what's wrong with just watching the games online?). Sorry but this is a bad idea. | ||

They broadcast spelling bee champs, come on. Espn2 is willing to broadcast as long as there are viewers | ||

Also, you can easily put ads in a SC2 stream, just like they do for Football/Soccer. | ||

They could also put it online on ESPN3 | ||
