So.. basicly there will be some MLG and NASL ads on CBI internet content ?
That's a step forward, but not the big " OMG " thing I expected. :<

In a simply stunning move, CBS Interactive, an online play, has at once locked in Major League Gaming and Twitch.TV as partners, taking over their ad sales, adding them to their broadcasting lineup, and more.


so what does this do with IPL & twitch relations? IGN is owned by Fox. I can't imagine IPL sticking with twitch if CBSi takes over all of twitch's ad sales.
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

No, the big thing is that CBS will be selling the ad inventory of MLG and Twitch.tv, who've previously had difficulty selling all of it because the world of advertising is very much an old boy's network. This means that MLG and Twitch are going to have far more stable revenue streams and will be able to do more things with that. Those Twitch ads are also going to improve the revenue for anyone using Twitch: streamers, cups, major tournaments, shows, whatever. Overall this is allowing esports access to the marketing world it has been fighting to gain entry to for a long time.

Analogy:

Basically MLG and Twitch sold ALL their commercial time to CBS for 6 dollars, and CBS will sell it piecemeal for 10 dollars. This is a good thing, since before they were only able to sell 3 dollars worth of their 10 dollars of commercial time because they didn't have the connections or the strong sales infrastructure to sell advertising..

The reach of CBS Interactive is extraordinary. Example sites that they own: CNET, Giant Bomb, GameFAQS, MetaCritic, CBS News, CBS MoneyWatch, ZDNet, TechRepublic, Last.fm, CBSSports. All of these have the potential to vastly increase the audience for competitive gaming. This is a big step towards making this more mainstream.

The article Adam linked says NASL is also a part of this deal...this is really huge news, I so very hope it'll turn out beneficial for the community and the involved companies. There's plenty of things that could go wrong, but until they do so (if ever), we should be excited about this
I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

That's awesome news! Hopefully you can leverage some of CBS' other assets to further capitalize on this (news media etc).

And apparently NASL is on board with CBSi, too. :-o Awesome.
