Good point. ESPN is bout to start airing soap operas and cartoons

Ya I caught my gf little cousin watching some shyt like this, once I saw him multiple times watching it I was like wtf u watching.. He really didn't have a answer he's like 9... I asked him how many views are on the video out of curiosity and that shyt had like 30 million.. My gf was like ya my brother in law watches that stuff too and he over 30...

But on espn though?

24 hour news cycle. Why can't they have a sexy broad competition though?

real shyt, they wont let athletic shyt like pole dancing into the olympics - shyt takes more skill and grace than power walking or rhythmic gymnastics - yet they have the gall to stretch the word "sport" to extend to gaming?

everything you compete in is not a sport....this fukkers called this an "eSport", gtfoh

The future of sports is here
step your game up



I don't follow MOBA games, I'm more into shooters and I can honestly say I've seen matches that rival traditional sports. Chokes, comebacks, last second clutch plays all exist in these games too and are just as exciting to see. I've been watching sports for over 20 years, its refreshing to see something new thats just as competitive and fun to play yourself.

Nah I can't cosign that. Those other sports actually require movement. I'm not gaming hater tho I'm just shocked it's on ESPN

breh epsn airs card games and spelling bees. At least these esports require team work and strategy.

i couldnt turn from this for a good 5 min, expecting that energizer bunny to pop up. i didnt see 1 black person.

 

[LurkMoar]

yall nikkas keep sleeping the major tournaments for this games get millions in prize money, this aint no game pun intended lol

 

[Lootpack]

E-Sports is huge these days.

 

[The_Phonz]

it was more entertaining than watching baseball

 

[ShoGun Of Harlem]

If they did this for Starcraft i'd watch.

 

[manyfaces]

This shouldn't be a surprise. I remember turning on ESPN on a random Saturday afternoon and seeing Magik: The Gathering tournament. They've just stepped it up to the digital world.

 

[BlackFruitPunch]

This shyt needs to be on ESPN the ocho

 

[itsyoung!!]

I've legit been watching this for 15 mins with the Doc Rivers face on. How'd this get cleared

coli late as hell once again.. its heroes of the storm and will probably bring in more revenue than your favorite sports teams every year for the next 5-10 years

The CEOs/stock holders of Blizzard would probably jump out a window if they woke up the next day with the revenue the Yankees or Cowboys brought in on some shyt

edit: just checked, Blizzard doubled the revenue of the Yankees


edit: Blizzard averages $5 BILLION a year in revenue.

Cowboys in 2013 brought in 560 MILLION in revenue.

10x more than cowboys, the NFL highest valued team

Don't care. Still isn't a sport. I honestly couldn't care less about the matter I just never would've guessed ESPN would put "esports " on tv

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

the only legitimate e-esport title to me is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

WoW has been status for years. I personally don't like MOBA's but realize they're huge.
