ESPN enters agreement with MLG

Today is monumental day for gamers everywhere, well at least those with skill. ESPN has now taken MLG under there wing and has agreed to television some of there event on national television. Quoting an MLG admin "ESPN.com, the leading online sports destination, today announced it has entered a content agreement with Major League Gaming (MLG), the leading professional video game league." Also quoting the espn spokesman "ESPN will be on site at each of the 2008 MLG Pro Circuit Competitions, reporting news from its own coverage booth for various ESPN programs and platforms, including ESPN360.com, ESPN's signature broadband sports network."

On personal level this is just great, cause going into this ill know several of the teams that going to be featured in the xbox 360 section. So I know there going to be some great teams let alone great personalities and just total dominance over the playing field. There going to be some great games to be played here.

So personally I think people have been waiting for something like this way to long. This is something that ESPN or other media companies should have capalized on earlier. The gaming community has been screaming out for this demanding something be done. I think this is just beginning of things to come. I think media companies are going realize that there is money to be made and large amount of it.

Before I say to many good things about this, Im going to have to see it get off the ground to belive this really going to happen. Not just saying we are and then at last minute they break up and decide not to work together. So it safe to say not count the chickens before they hatch.
