TBS reveals 24 teams for its Counter-Strike: Global Offensive league

The Turner Broadcasting System is ready to embrace esports.

TBS has revealed the 24 teams that will compete in the station’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament, which it calls the Eleague. Esports are a growing market and could generate $463 million this year, but most watch competitions on streaming sites like Twitch. Traditional television has been slower about broadcasting gaming tournaments, although you can find examples (like EPSN’s Heroes of the Dorm event).
