With The escape The league season started off in just two weeks, and it's starting to seem a little bit unclear where we are going. Now we do: With it Twitch's two-year contract expires, The escape The league is moving to YouTube. There will be new combinations of activation Call of Duty League once Hearing esports.
Working with Google has announced the news in the press release today, I say, starting this week, YouTube “will be broadcasting the official official stream of popular Blizzard activation news and events including new ones being launched Call of Duty League, The escape League, Hearing Esports, and more. What could be "more"? There is no telling yet, but hundreds of extras puppies to the world it looks like a possible outcome to me.
The companies have not yet provided details on the contract financing terms, but as Twitch reportedly spent $ 90 million on exclusive rights in the first two seasons The escape League, it is likely that a small amount of hands change this time. Activation with Google has also received 200 million daily YouTube Gaming users, giving these events a much larger audience than Twitch's 15 million. Then again, YouTube is 200 million currently don't watch as much streaming content as Twitch's younger audience does, so we'll see.
In any case, this foreshadows another big move in the live streaming segment on YouTube after signing exclusive deals with leading broadcasters like CouRage and The Valkyrae. Time will tell whether or not this payment pays, if any The escape League numbers didn't look hot by the end of the season, no Call of Duty The organization – which begins today – remains an unlicensed sum.
Google, however, may benefit a lot from part of this agreement: having its technology supported in some of the world's biggest games. The two companies have also stated in newspapers that Google Cloud will be hosting Blizzard's games, which they hope will provide "high-quality network services, including low latency and packet loss when playing the most advanced games on any device." In addition, Blizzard plans to use Google AI, ads,: "(Players) will have a fully customized interaction, as Blizzard activation can tap into Google Cloud's AI tools to offer customized gameplay recommendations and unique experiences." So, this is a great day for esports, the most powerful companies are closely linked to commerce, and … ads.
