The International to be Broadcast on ESPN

The International to be Broadcast on ESPN

eSports will now have a television audience!

The International, is a world championship tournament for the game DOTA 2 that’s hosted by Valve Corporation. The fourth edition will be held this weekend with a reported prize pool of $11 million dollars!

This event is sold out by the way.

The world is watching!

ESPN will be broadcasting the entire tournament on ESPN 3. With a special preview of the finals set to air Sunday on ESPN 2 at 8:30pm. This will be the only way to spectate, as the Keyarena has been sold out!

MLG at the X Games was only the tip of the ice. It looks like ESPN is looking into bringing eSports to a larger audience.

Also known as "NverM0re," and often referred to as "1337Joka, the Clown Prince of Gaming." Well not really, but it sounds nice! He specializes in breaking every game he plays down to a mad science. More known on Youtube for his trading card game knowledge. However, the raven is most often found perched in front of a fast paced shooter, controller in hand.
