It will likely get better. If you watched March Madness online at all this year, you will know what I mean. They definitely know what they are doing over there. | ||

But the question wasn't "will esports be on CBS TV," it was just whether CBSI is a part of / affiliated with CBS the network, which it is. The OP has also been edited to point out that there's absolutely no mention of television, so that should clear things up. | ||

I think so, he spoke about top 10 Internet company whatever it meant, now from wikipedia about CBSi it is a top 10 Web property globally and a top 5 Web property in the U.S. in terms of unique video viewers | ||

I know its a network on the web or something like that, and that Gamespot belongs to CBSi, but what do they do, and what does MLG get out of it? more money? more viewers? I think that biggest thing actually will be the ability to attract advertisers by being linked with CBSi. As many people who've been following the business side of esports will know, the biggest hurdle right now for streaming events has been securing enough sponsors to sell their full ad inventory. Being part of a major media house like CBSi means that they now have a foot in the door of just about anyone who wants to sell ads to the 18-34 male market. | ||

Gamespot and IGN are visited mainly by console gamers, the esport thing also brings them a good chunk of PC gamers who are into LoL and/or SC2. | ||
