I thought ESPN had an ESPN+ only monthly subscription for ~$12 / month... But I can't find it anywhere. Anyone else have any luck with this?

It's actually confusing because it says semis on ESPN+ I believe you can only watch the semis there if you've the ESPN unlimited plan.

What's confusing? The semi's are on ESPN2 and the individual mats and matcast (including consy matches) is available on ESPN+ and the main broadcast will be on ESPN2.

I still cannot find it. can you provide a link?

I can't find my way back... If you login to ESPN (you'll need a login first, and identify your cable provider if you have one), and then under bundles there were two columns: one with Disney+, Hulu, etc.; and the right one with an ESPN bundle (~$30/month)... That latter column has a dropdown button on the top line. When you click that it will show ESPNselect -- which is what ESPN+ has sort of been rebranded to.
