Sky Sports and ITV have joined forces to launch GINX eSports TV, the UK and Ireland’s first 24-hour eSports TV channel.<\/p>\n

As well as the ELEAGUE tournaments, fans can expect to see FACEIT’s eSports Championship Series and Valve’s Dota 2 ‘The International’ competition as part of the coverage.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include Sunday’s live action from Wembley Arena. The team will bring us unique behind the scenes footage of the FACEIT ECS Season 1 Finals with plenty of highlights and special expert opinion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We recently asked where DStv’s gaming and tech channels <\/a><\/strong>were, and with the launch of GINX eSports TV in\u00a0 the UK, we don’t imagine it will be too long before similar channels make their way to South Africa.<\/p>\n

Would you watch a South African 24-hour gaming channel? Let us know in the comments below and in our forums.<\/strong><\/p>\n
