tho SC2 and LoL did give it a nice boost recently, and if Valve add some kind of stream veiwer straight into steam that would give it a huge boost. Youtube and paying for video views plus sites that allow live streaming which are the main reasons it has gotten so big, as they make it much more visable/accessible.

The fact you can tune in any moment of the day to an SC2 or LoL stream makes it easy to follow, and because of big sponsors getting involved they can now fly players around the world, and have a full broadcast setup with 2 commentators for every event. The production is approaching established sports in professionalism now.
