With another step forward in the growing popularity of eSports, MLG has stepped up to the plate to deliver its own live streaming service, MLG.TV. At a crucial time where the streaming service Twitch hops over to consoles to make streaming easier and more accessible to the masses, MLG enters the foray with a web and mobile streaming outlet that has already seen tremendous growth in the service's pre-launch beta event--the network saw over 1,000 percent growth in media consumption and has been a huge trend in social media avenues in the past few weeks.

Major League Gaming will be kicking off its 2013 championship next weekend, starting on the 22nd of November. The three day event will have over $150,000 in prizes up for grabs.

The MLG Fall Invitational has concluded and two teams have emerged victorious. The first day, which consisted of Dota 2 action, saw Team Dignitas take home $10,000 and the chance to compete with the world's top Dota 2 teams at the MLG Columbus Championship in November. Team Dignitas had a hefty team shuffle following their poor performance at The International earlier this year and go into Columbus looking to prove they belong in the conversation with the top international teams.

Starting today Major League Gaming's Fall Invitational begins with Dota 2 action featuring Team Dignitas, Typical Mistakes, noM and The Joikernaught. These teams will be vying for a cut of $15,000 in prizes, while the first place team will be awarded $10,000 and an invitation to the MLG Columbus Championship where they will face teams such as Natus Vincere, [A]lliance, and Team DK with a $50,000 prize pool on the line.
