ESPN Betting On Value Of Broadcasting Major eSports Event

Video games have long been a hobby and a way of killing time. But recently, they have become much more than that. They have started to move towards becoming an actual sport.

Competitive video gaming has become a major event as of late and the biggest example of that is the announcement that ESPN2 will air the grand finals of the collegiate tournament for Heroes of the Storm, a multiplayer online arena battler. The two remaining teams in the “Heroes of the Dorm” will compete against each other on Sunday at 6:30PM ET for the grand prize.
