Major League Gaming has certainly picked up over the years when it comes to professional gaming tournaments, but now it has a new venue with its premiere programming – television.

The group has introduced MLG.TV, an online gaming network that will help it monetize certain events online, complete with 1080p HD support, built-in Twitter chat, and a number of other features. The channel will be the home for several premiere events, such as the upcoming MLG Championship in Columbus, Ohio, as well as original programming and partnered shows such as Call of Duty’s OpTic Gaming.

“We’ve been streaming our events for six or seven years, we’ve done network TV, we’ve done cable TV,” MLG co-founder and CEO Sundance DiGiovanni told me. “We’ve done our own platform, we’ve done white-label, we’ve done Ustream . . .”
