YouTube geht nun in die Offensive gegen Twitch. Auf eine mehrjährige, exklusive Zusammenarbeit einigten sich nun die Unternehmen YouTube und FACEIT. Dabei wird im Rahmen von CSGO die ECS exklusiv auf YouTube Gaming gestreamt werden. Beginn der Partnerschaft ist der 25. März 2017. Alle Matches werden in Full-HD und 1080/60 FPS gestreamt werden.
Michele Attisani: “YouTube offers fans of the ECS an unmatched online viewing experience. YouTube is by far the most watched platform for gamers in the world and continues to innovate and lead on video technology, making it a great place for us to call our new home for the Esports Championship Series”.
Ryan Wyatt, Global Head of Gaming Content at YouTube: “This is our most significant investment into esports to date and illustrates our continued commitment to growing esports with the hundreds of millions of gamers watching YouTube each day. The ECS revenue sharing and co-ownership structure reinforces our belief that all players should have a voice. We know the CS:GO community is already watching clips, highlights, and rebroadcasts on YouTube, so we are excited to be able to bring them all this same action live.”
