China is the new Mecca of WarCraft 3 when it comes to professional gaming. More and more leagues are popping up, and they attract more and more spectators. Just recently it was announced at Replays.net that a new league called PGL Invitational will start on September 4 and will last for a total of six days. This is the first tournament in China that will be broadcasted via the local Chinese TV channels, just like MBC and OGN in Korea. According to GG-Game.com, the Chinese government have unbanned E-Sports showing on television after being banned for three years.
