UK's first eSports channel will be broadcast on Sky

Darkaber · 15 May 2007 at 15:30

XLeague.TV, the first British TV channel dedicated to competitive gaming, will be launched tomorrow, May 16, on Sky channel 291.

XLeague will show both live and recorded matches with commentary and analysis, and feature league and tournament play. It will also screen gaming news, reviews and magazine shows.
Although eSports competition is traditionally PC-focused, XLeague.TV will feature prominent console titles across all multiplayer genres, including Resistance: Fall of Man, Pro Evolution Soccer and Project Gotham Racing.
Entrants can register online and are awarded fixtures on a first come, first served basis. But only gamers who have signed up to XLeague's subscription or pay as you play services will be eligible to take part

Yes, because you'd tune in to a gaming channel to see attractive women.

Any british gaming show sucks, we are awful on TV

.
If it was US I wouldn't mind, they may be annoying when they are arrogant, but we just sound like total tools.

Should be interesting, provided it has some kind of proper backing. If it's an amature broadcast then I doubt it will last.

It's probably the only reason I would tune into a gaming channel

If all you're watching it for is the women, then there are about a million better ways of doing the same thing. Like porn.

Lighten up, I wasn't being serious.

Surely watching other people play games is going to be pretty boring.

Great video but the commentators were just too annoying, it was like listening to John McCririck on speed.
