E-sports on Television. Would you watch it?

[Valeron]

No way here. Just doesn't interest me in the slightest.

[Klutzington]

Just put it on ESPN 8. Probably gets as many viewers as they other pseudo-sports on there.

And here starts the bashing. Please keep your opinion to yourself and stop bashing the thread, showing how immature you are. I'm sure no one cares about what you think of e-sports. The question was if you would watch it or not and not label it what you choose to.


OT: I would probably not want it on TV due to the possibility that it would turn e-sports into one big commercial system. I like the way it is now, but I hope it can still expand. I watch LoL streams all the time.

[bals]

no.

there should be a poll.

[Klutzington]

Not a chance, it's right down there with poker in terms of entertainment value for me.

Well I love poker and e-sports.

No, mainly because it's not a sport, it's just an excuse so fat people can say they are athletes.

How about you just stay out of the thread and not derail it.

[Tradewind]

Well I love poker and e-sports.

Good for you.

[Klutzington]

Good for you.

Cool for you, too.

[Kuntantee]

yep

[theredviola]

Depending on the game, yes I would.

[Zoneseek]

I prefer to play sports over watching them. This rule applies x1,000,000 when it comes to video games, so no.

[nalle]

I wouldn't no, as I already watch the streams I want at 720p+ for free (getting any HD channels would cost money, and then there's barely any of them out there).

[Belize]

Uhhh yeah duh. I've been asking for a Starcraft channel forever!

[Frolk]

Id watch WoW, Starcraft2 and other RTS games

[Koraak]

no.

there should be a poll.

Added a poll.

I agree with you 100% I would accept it if it was an MLG/Twtich network and not them being picked up by something like NewsCorp

[SL1200]

Playing video games is not a a sport.

[Koraak]

Playing video games is not a a sport.

That's why we call them esports, regardless there is a growing competitive market.

[Deleted]

Yes, this would give me a reason to turn on the TV and watch something instead of using it only for playing console games.

[Drekker17]

Nah, it's interesting at first...but it gets boring very fast. The only thing I like about esports currently is Idra being a jerk and TB with (dapollo?) shoutcasting, but both bore me eventually too.

[Shink]

the commentators make the sport, otherwise it's as boring as watching cars going around in circles

well that's kind of a given
