This has failed miserably every other time it's ever been tried in the west.

It's cool but I firmly believe that online streaming, not traditional broadcasting, is the way of the future. How many 18-25 year olds even have cable anymore?

My prediction is that this has disappointing viewership numbers and is cancelled after a season or two and major media execs reconvince themselves that esports are a dead end.

They should stick to only broadcasting major games in the esports world, such as ti, esl one/cologne, etc

I think they don't wanna broadcast at their prime time for reruns of the Big Bang theory..

cable TV industry is grasping at any and all straws, half of the damn shows on TV are Alaska reality TV shows

they will do anything at this point

Dancing with the Stars had a Vine "star" on their show last week.

turner broadcasting hahaha wcw version of esports here we come
