Huge step for MLG and Twitch. Now maybe we will start seeing better adverts since I am sure this partnership will expand the advertising we see on the streams. This way it may not be the same 4 adverts in a row where you are pulling your hair out going WHY!!!!

Also the adverts will hopefully be better scheduled so I can have that down time to go grab the beer and chip refresh between the games. I mean you need sometime to get a new beer between games right? Do not want to miss any action!

Getting significantly more ad revenue hopefully means less PPV content.

Not bad for MLG, not bad at all.

Here's to hoping for a higher resolution stream without having to pay .

this might wildly upset the balance between own3d and twitch. the twitch streamers may or may not be getting a lot more money for their streaming now but then again I guess that can only be a good thing

Interesting turn of events since Slasher's been hinting at this for a while... In my opinion it was only a matter of time since Newscorp (Fox) has their own presence in this space and the advertising potential for the coveted demographic is unprecendented in this digital age. Let's see where CBS takes this going forward, I'll be quite curious as this opens up the arena to a brand new set of advertisers and events...

The expansion of the CBS Interactive Games group includes the following deals:
The world’s most prominent eSports league, Major League Gaming (MLG), has signed a partnership with CBS Interactive to be the exclusive online broadcaster of their Pro Circuit competitions, as well as for advertising representation.


MLG most prominent eSports league? Really? How weird.

Shame really that European scene is not as energetic.

Someone made a bold statement in a press release? Sharpen your pitchforks and light your torches!

Welp, that's what MLG thinks about losing their GOM affiliation, I guess.

Additionally, as reported by AdWeek, the CBSi/GameSpot partnership will also be with NASL, not just MLG. No bias. http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/cbs-interactive-games-links-twitchtv-gamespot-partners-pro-gamer-orgs-139640?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

The first of much exciting news, with my own to come shortly. Will once again be covering MLG NY for GameSpot with Benito and Erick, lots to watch this weekend.


You should really add this to OP!

Just hope that MLG's stream viewer functionality (I.e. quad streams and whatnot) does not suffer in any way shape or form as a result of being broadcasted on CBSi.

I know the details aren't really clear yet, but I don't see anywhere that implies that esports will actually be on TV... Everything in the press release is about online content and streaming, not TV.
