Blizzard buys MLG

[itsyoung!!]

broke ass console gaming league deep in debt because no one wants to watch halo or call of duty


Watch a real company does to it, they plan on making it "the ESPN of Esports" (their quote). Who are we to doubt em, theyve turned everything theyve touched into gold

Activision Blizzard buys MLG for estimated $46M to build ‘ESPN of esports’

Who better than Blizzard to do it

Starcraft is fun to watch idgaf

Seems like a pretty solid deal for both. At first I thought wtf, why blizzard? what do they have

Then I remember starcraft,

 

[Cladyclad]

Wtf one did activison buy?

Starcraft is the only thing that would do One Direction numbers for Blizzard. Pro-level HotS is Overwatch will be fun but won't touch CS GO numbers WoW is in its last death throes.

 

[Dwolf]

Aight cool.

 

[Ciggavelli]

Blizzard know how to make truckloads of money. It might actually work. If not, they still got boatloads of money. How much did they make off WoW? Goddamn

 

[Tunez]

Didn't Yahoo buy MLG or sometjing?

 

[#StarkSet]

Wtf one did activison buy?

SC2 hasn't had good numbers for two years now. That game is dead competitively, as is Hots. That leaves them with R'n'Gstone and Overwatch, and there is no reason to think the latter will do anything in terms of pro-gaming, shyt looks super casual.
