IGN has announced a Starcraft 2 proleague with a prizepool of $150,000 or more and many top players. The production value wil be high and it's coming next month.

Combined with the North American Starleague, GSL, ESL, MLG, GSTL, IEM, TeSL and the TSL3 there is now several million dollars a year going into just tournament prizes for Starcraft 2, and tens of players on full time salaries including South Korea. Esports is getting massive across the world.

awesome! more replays for me xD

yea the esport revolution continues

es sports needs an es sport game thats fun to watch 

If someone can come up with an enjoyable and fun shooter thats very es sports friendly then you could be getting many players hitting it up an night to have some awesome fun 

what is es sport and why should we care? and starcraft is fun, as for a shooter Warsaw works well.

have you ever tried watching some starcraft 2 with good commentators? it's better than most sports on TV lol shooters are kinda boring to watch RTS is where it's at for e-sports  not even MOBAs come close

well its an typo. But i should expand to say, remember online shooters that had one life per round. Well there an few of them but they are slowly disspearing because "today" gamers dont like waiting. Well if they could make it more entertaining to watch as you wait for the round to end then you can keep the fun exciting gameplay of one life games while not boring out some people who have to suffer some long waits.
