Up until now, eSports events had been limited to cable networks like ESPN or Spike, but this could be a sign of things to come. As part of the deal, Machinima's Chasing the Cup documentary series is streaming on The CW's Seed website, where you'll find five video episodes covering this Mortal Kombat X competition.

The fact CW and Machinima are working together is thanks to Warner Bros., as Variety notes, which has a stake in both of these properties.
