PlayStation’s streaming TV service Vue is getting content that could be very near and dear to many users’ hearts: ESL’s esportsTV.
LA-based ESL counts itself the world’s largest esports company worldwide, and it esportsTV channel will broadcast 24/7 esports content via a linear channel for the first time ever in the U.S. The launch is coming soon, and will arrive in time for the May 4th kick-off of Intel Extreme Masters’ 12th season.
ESL cites Activate’s Tech and Media Outlook 2017 survey, which notes that esports audiences will eclipse those of the finals for big U.S. leagues like the MLB, NHL and NBA. EsportsTV is going to be on Vue as part of the ‘Elite’ tier of progamming, and works with features including the service’s cloud DVR and multiple simultaneous streams. It’s perfect for binging on pro esports alongside Twitch and other options, but are curious to what we’ll see with pick-up here, since Vue straddles both traditional TV and the post cord-cutting worlds.
