SC2, WoW and Hearthstone to be shown on ESPN3. That's 5 ESPN's better than pro dodgeball at least! Holy shit this is awesome, nice find guitars

the real question is did it beat dota 2's TI4? I believe they were on espn 2
|
Anyone know the numbers on ESPN for League of Legends Worlds?
|
Maybe they could even air TB's new "how to watch SC2" video beforehand?
|
So were looking at Hearthstone and one WoW event besides the SC2 event...I think this is still really good for SC2 but I don't know that all the people watching will like SC2 as much as WoW and Hearthstone lol...
Hoping for the best though! Blizzard obviously trying to do some big things.

what kind of esports illumanitus got this through
|
This isn't quite the place to ask but I don't want to make a thread - so I know WCS is going to be streamed for free, but what about HS and Heroes? Do I need the virtual ticket or are those free as well?

ESPN should link TB's intro to competitive sc2 with its broadcast or something. So much news incoming before the big event! The last 2 months of sc2 has been so sad for me cause everyone i love or root for falls D: But the hype has never been more real for me!

Hearthstone's audience is anyone who has played world of warcraft or magic the gathering, which combine into a massive demographic that is much broader and wider reaching than that of our beloved starcraft.

yep, hearthstone is a pretty fun game even, sometimes the RNG can be frustrating, but there are moments of intense strategical play or crazy RNG fun.

Im not hating on Hearthstone or WoW, i hope they all pull great numbers! go eSports. eSports has come a long way... T_T brings tears to my heart that the U.S is going to stream this LIVE! on TV!

SC2 is by far the best spectator sport (of these 3 at least). Don't let streaming numbers fool you. I don't doubt SC2 will benefit the most from this kind of exposure.

Not just WoW. Warcraft in general. Personally I play it off the back of W3 that I used to play as a teen all those years ago.
That being said of the three I think SC2 is in the best position as its probably the best of the three as a spectator sport; so that should help the numbers considerably. Whether any of them will turn into players or more long term followers... *shrug* Who knows?

Great to see that SCII is slowly getting the "Professional e-Sports" status outside of Korea, hopefully we see more televised stuffz in the future.
