Twitch has been huge for a while now.
The top streams usually have 40-300 thousand viewers at a time. (The 300k is almost only LoL competitive)

It'll always be funny to me how the biggest "e-sports" are usually the most uninteresting games.

SOMEBODY GEEETS IT

[#Ravencroft]

How is this even considered a sport, they should have a separate channel for this if they're gonna air it. I could've been watching SportsCenter reruns on ESPN2.

It isn't really a sport, and it should get its own channel, but ESPN is doing this all for the MONEEEEEEY

Not even close.
Esports are regularly aired in some countries.
If you're talking about the US, then Esports actually used to be aired, but were unsuccessful.
