There's no question that Blizzard is a cornerstone of the eSports world. StarCraft is so big in South Korea that it's virtually an institution, and Heroes of the Storm was the first game to get a live ESPN2 broadcast. It only makes sense that the developer would create an eSports service of its own, then -- and there's a fresh hint that it might do just that. Blizzard has filed for a trademark on "Compete," an online service that would help you "organize and promote" eSports tournaments and ladders. From the sounds of it, this would take the drudgery out of getting a competition off the ground. You'd focus more on the matches themselves, and less on finding out who's on top.
