Twitch partners with TBS Eleague esports series featuring Counter-Strike: Go shooter

Even if you’re launching esports on your cable channel, you probably still want to include Twitch.

The livestreaming site announced today that it will broadcast live event and on-demand content for Turner’s new esports program for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Eleague, as part of a multi-year deal. Twitch has over 100 million viewers a month, and 21.3 percent of them are watching esports. That makes it a logical partner for Turner, which will air a Friday night showcase of its league on TBS.
