Major League Gaming Opens MLG.tv Streaming Platform
Major League Gaming is taking the next step in providing curated eSports content. The league today launched MLG.tv, which will host exclusive content along with existing programming like eSports Report.
MLG.tv uses a proprietary video player, and according to the league, the service leverages years of experience using other platforms. MLG has also opened the platform up to pro team OpTic Gaming and Gfinity, a European league. Additionally, MLG will be exclusively streaming the first Call of Duty: Ghosts tournament and international Dota 2 event on November 22 through 24.
Our Take
I spent a little bit of time on MLG.tv tonight, I was impressed with the player. I was able to dial the stream up to 1080p easily, and the audio seemed consistent. I have no doubt that the service is going to see huge traffic this weekend during the MLG Championship.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
