I'm an Australian and I can't imagine there being any free-to-air or subscription based channels ever being implemented for e-sports in Australia. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a channel dedicated to e-sports in Australia, but for Australia it's not a reality due to a lack of support behind e-sports as well as there simply not being a large enough player-base.
Thus I agree with the statement that online streaming is a far more efficient and logical way to promote e-sports in the SEA/ANZ region because the people who are interested in watching, can watch with ease without the need for sponsorships and revenue which would be desired if it were to be given television time. Personally, I'd love to see Australia just have one tournament circuit that toured the Eastern seaboard, with live streaming and commentary similar to GomTV... but we can all dream, right?
