Today, ESPN created a subsection on their online presence for Esports. There are many stories about League of Legends, DOTA, and other games including schedules for upcoming events across the Esports scene.

http://espn.go.com/esports/

This to me is a HUGE thing to be recognized by ESPN in this manner.

What do you think?

A german website called sport1.de has it also, since like 2 years, they only take games which adress a very huge audience, such as cs go, dota, lol, as you just said. Of course coh2 would be nice to be there, but since coh2 doesnt reach their audience. :/

i remember TI (DOTA 2 Championship) was shown on ESPN last year and was a huge hit. I think they are definitely trying to tap into the ESPORTS market.

Kinda retarded but I won't sweat it until they start putting video games on sports center.

On Topic, it's good news and it seems ESPN have hired some very good talent. It's in safe hands.
