It will probably be a delayed, edited broadcast on some fringe channel. Still exciting though.

I don't know if this was already mentioned, but MLG has already been on TV before. Years back, they had a segment on ESPN early saturday mornings for Halo 2. I don't believe it was a full timeslot, and I suspect that it will probably be something similar with StarCraft 2 and CBS.

You want to detail that for a guy that's only been around 2 years?

Most of the regular viewers will still watch this on a stream, so as long as they don't expect a ton of viewership at the start they'll be fine.

Eurosport did 4 programs i think or so repotage about esports at IEM back in 2011. But it was all bought by Intel cause they wehere constantly filming intel logos

Cool and all, but i still don't think being on tv is a huge step forwards. I guess for the sake of advertising and just getting the event out there it'll help, but everything is coming to the internet right now. Tv series are being streamed and uploaded to official company channel owned websites, the latest tv's come with internet capability (that should be the biggest hint).

I see the good in it, but i also hope nothing bad comes of this.

Best of luck to MLG in this, I want to see you guys succeed!

One of which is a PPV for sporting events, etc.

I'm pessimistic about this.

-It'll probably be in a narrow timeslot.
-As soon as a caster curses or says something inappropriate we're off the air.
-Hardly anyone is going to tune in.
-The broadcast will be delayed.

Other than that it's pretty cool!

Would be nice to see it work; I've never really seen a need for ESPORTS on TV, but if it all works out this would be amazing :D

i've been confused as to why G4 hasn't picked up on e-sports, the only mentions i ever saw were internet articles. Also G4 is small enough and the type of audience is just perfect. idk. CBS seems a bit too large of a jump.

I am not sure how this will work out but i can hope for the best (with cbs that is)

I'm pretty good at recognizing whether something is legitimately exciting, or whether something it going to be horribly marginalized. Nothing I've read so far indicates the former, and the American audience indicates the latter. If there aren't millions of people talking about this around their watercoolers, it's going to be on a fringe channel, probably for pay-per-view.

Gotta agree on that. I suspect the most important thing from this will be drawing in TV advertisers who are afraid to dip their toes in the internet pool. But maybe it will drag them in, even if the TV broadcast isn't extremely successful.

that was darned epic, and you have a good idea, also to the guy above me, esports needs tv for growth, otherwise million dollar salaries will never exist in 5-10 years from now for progamers.

"CBS Interactive Games, which has an exclusive partnership with MLG to sell advertising for its events"

So, CBSi has an exclusive partnership with MLG only now? They're not partnered with IPL, DreamHack, GSL, IEM anymore? What about that 96% advertisement market?

CBS is one of the biggest channels in the US.

No way they show SC2 on it at this stage... they don't even show high profile NBA games more than once a month on network TV.

I'm guessing it will be on one of the smaller channels CBS undoubtedly owns... but nonetheless very exciting.
