Professional Gaming Gains Media Coverage
By Rich Miller on Jan 12, 2007 in eSports
Twitch Guru recently had an item titled 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Professional Gaming. One that was of interest to us was number 6, “Pro Gaming Has Its Own Sports Media”:
In addition to being broadcast on MTV, USA Network, and DirecTV, professional gaming has its own dedicated sports media that broadcasts the matches via the Web and reports box scores, stats, and news recaps. For example, GotFrag.com is a site dedicated to covering live competitions with online streaming video as well as news reports, stats and record keeping. There’s also Amped eSports , which covers a variety of professional gaming tournaments and organizations. In addition, Cohesion Productions is currently filming documentaries on the history of professional gaming. And just recently, Gotfrag partnered with Beckett Media to launch the first e-sports magazine, dubbed eSports. A number of other gaming and tech sites are following the trend and increasing their coverage of professional gaming.
You can find a lot of these sites in the Game Hosting Guide under Game Blogs and Gaming News.
