Great news for Gaming

Press Release Announced today:

"The Eurosport Group and Championship Gaming Series (CGS) announced today that Eurosport has signed a deal with BSkyB (Sky) that grants Eurosport the exclusive continental European broadcast rights for Championship Gaming Series, the only worldwide professional video gaming league.

Highlights from the inaugural 2007 series will be broadcast in primetime on Eurosport 2 April 28 – May 3, followed by the highly anticipated 2008 season later this year, bringing CGS programming to 41 nations in continental Europe for the first time, including France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Eurosport 2's broadcast footprint for CGS will complement Sky’s coverage in the UK and Ireland, DIRECTV’s coverage in the Americas, and STAR and ESPN STAR Sports broadcasts in Asia and Australia. The addition of Eurosport 2 coverage will expand the overall reach of televised CGS programming to more than 400 million potential viewers across five continents.
"


With Eurosport now broadcasting CGS in Europe (finalmente anche in Italia!), Gaming will definately get a huge exposure in our continent and I'm really happy about it, since all the gamers from Europe will be able to follow all the actions from this year's Season.

In Italia Lunedì 28 alle 20.00 e poi alle 21.30 andranno in onda i primi due show, il primo dovrebbe far vedere un ottavo di finale Stockholm Magnetik contro Sidney Underground, il secondo Carolina Core vs Seoul sempre ottavi di finale.
Ovviamente parliamo delle World Finals.
Canale 211 su Sky.

Penso ci sia un modo per guardarlo, ho fatto qualche ricerca su google (prova con "vedere eurosport in chiaro") e qualcosa ho trovato, però onestamente non me ne intendo, percui ti consiglio di guardare tu stesso se ci capisci qualcosa.

Only need a 1vs1 deathmatch to be a perfect moment in gaming history. Maybe QuakeLive for next season?

What do you think Stermy?
