It does upset me immensely when i get called a cheater. Especially considering the amount of time i put in just with my warmup routine to play one competitive match.
 
Now this is some next level hype:



Starts on Tuesday!!!!!!!
 
Surprised theirs nothing sticky on here.

TBS is showing Luminosity (Brazil powerhouse, best team in the world right now) vs Cloud9 (supposed top NA team, but NA goes back and forth).

Should be a lot of fun.

The production has been awesome on Twitch, HOWEVER! You will only see Analysts Desk and interviews on TBS (potentially a VOD later), otherwise Twitch is just streaming the rounds w/ casters themselves (some licensing stuff going on).

(auto play some shitty ad warning)

ESports will be arriving in the living rooms of millions Friday with the debut of "ELeague." Airing every week on TBS, "ELeague" is a 10-week "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" tournament where 24 teams will compete for a $1.4 million prize pool. For those curious about competitive gaming, here is a handy primer ahead of the first "ELeague" matches.

Before getting into the ins and outs of "ELeague," a quick rundown of eSports in general is needed. ESports is a blanket term for all competitive gaming. There are multiplayer online battle arena, or MOBA, games such as "DOTA 2," "League of Legends" and "Heroes of the Storm. There are professional leagues for first-person shooters such as "Call of Duty," "Counter-Strike" and "Battlefield." "FIFA" is played competitively. Fighting games "Street Fighter V," "Super Smash Bros.," "Mortal Kombat" also fall under eSports.

ESports, for the most part, have yet to develop into separate sports like the NBA, NHL or NFL. Riot Games publishes "League of Legends," but also serves as the administrator for tournaments. The "League of Legends" Championship Series is the highest professional tier featuring the best teams competing for the biggest prize pools.
 
Also, I don't have TBS. My comcast subscription sucks (would jump me up +$60, which is why I don't have FS1 for MMA either).

However,

SlingTv (former Sling Box from 2013) has a licensing deal to legally stream TBS.

I signed up for a 7 day free trial, which, maybe I'll keep (probably not).

I am unsure on its global region applicability.

LG played loose enough on the first two maps to make it an entertaining best of three. Cloud9 did finally show improvement though. Which was quite surprising overall.

Overnight ratings wasnt good : (
 
Did this come out yet?

Yes, it aired last night on TBS.

"ELEAGUE Delivers in Prime Time on TBS
ELEAGUE averaged 509,000 total viewers on TBS during its Friday primetime telecast window (10-11 p.m. ET) and was the second most-discussed program of the night on Twitter."

Not bad, heard the average across the entire broadcast was 200K here in the states alone.
 
My friend is the founder of FLIPSID3 Tactics. They're a new team, but I guess they've managed to get some really good players. Their main game is CS:GO I believe.
 
As for the show, I thought the production level was great, but I didn't find CS:GO to be very fan friendly. I think the TTK is a little too quick, and there's more excitement to be gained from longer gun battles.

At first, I thought those were horrible ratings.

But then I reminded myself it was on a Friday night, well after primetime, and on cable.

Not bad ratings. Not great, but for their first show, not bad.

I hope the ratings grow the more they do this, as the word gets out.
 
How the hell is this not uploaded on the internet yet?

You can watch their Twitch VOD via Youtube or Twitch:



On their Friday night broadcast only the game observers perspective and play by play casters is played on Twitch. Replays, analyst desk and file footage is only shown on the TV broadcast.
