Good points. Traditional sports have so many breaks in the action and these are the places where (good) commentators can explain what's going on, replays can be shown, etc. I don't know how you could do with with something that is as non-stop as videogaming. To really make things comprehensible you'd almost have to... give up the idea of a strictly "live" broadcast. Broadcast it on a short delay so there could be an opportunity for some exposition while the action is "paused." It would be tough to find the right balance between hardcore-friendly and noob-friendly. But I'm sure it could be done. After all, traditional sports have found this balance.
