The wide world of "eSports" is coming to a television near you. CBS and the World Series of Video Games have announced that they've partnered to bring four hour-long recaps of WSVG events to television airwaves starting this summer. Competitive gamers will challenge eachother in titles such as World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, Guitar Hero II and Fight Night Round 3, among others.

The early airing schedule is:

July 29th - Louisville, Kentucky (Event: June 21st-24th)
August 19th - Dallas, Texas (Event: July 5th-8th)
November 17th - Los Angeles, California (Event: October 18th-21st)
December 15th - Jönköping, Sweden Saturday (Event: November 29th-December 2nd)

CBS plans to air footage of WSVG events on its CBS Sports Spectacular program. I know I'll be watching other people play video games instead of actually playing them myself for literally minutes at a time. Michael McWhertor
