I'm assuming Sundance will be in charge. If there is anyone you can trust to do it right, its him.

Considering that they broadcast poker, lacrosse, wnba, log rolling, bowling, high school football, and other niche sports on ESPN2, I don't find it implausible that they could find a comparable audience with esports fans.

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

I will name my kid sundance if you work this out man.

If this were to happen impact is gonna be huge. Bigger crowd, sponsors, prize pool, pro gamers, higher level of competition, etc. Might take korea's esport Mecca title even.

YOU CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN

Well all I can say is that if tournaments are streamed through the internet I can easily watch it from everywhere in the world. While when broadcasted through espn2 I have to jump through hoops too may be able to watch the program.

If I had ESPN2, I would watch it. I'd rather watch it on TV and have spare bandwidth for other stuff!

sorry but I don't see ESPN going ad-less for those hour-long TvT matches. SC does not work on American TV. 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

As long as it's not America/Canada only. Fine by me. (AND they have web TV system)

ESPN goes nearly ad-less for 45-50 minutes for Football/Soccer.

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

That's exactly what I meant... the esports community could probably muster up a couple hundred-k audience for ESPN2 broadcasts. They could also put it online on ESPN3

ESPN 2? Don't think we get that here. Hope the US gets it though.
