If any part of this is wrong, please feel free to correct me: The most popular french streams, those interested in covering this event, are all users of the streaming platform Dailymotion. Blizzard has an exclucivity agreement (and has since the beginning of 2013 if I remember correctly) with Twitch. This isn't a matter of someone trying to fuck over the French scene, this is purely and simply the French streams not agreeing to use Twitch for whatever reason (maybe they're sponsored by Dailymotion or something, I don't know). As long as the French streams continue to broadcast only on Dailymotion, or as long as the WCS-Twitch partnership exists, there simply won't be French scenes. It's very unfortunate, but perfectly understandable from Blizzard's perspective. Thank you Pengwin, that clears it up a little. I hope a deal can be made, would be a shame for our frenchies if there wasn't a stream for them  | ||

Dailymotion is a big sponsor of Millenium for example ... It's like you're saying : "Bomber should drink energy drink Monster ... ". Plus, just picture the scene... French casters speaking and during the stream (on Twitch) they all have Dailymotion on their shirts .... I recognize that it would be fun, but you see the point ... you can't really turn your back on big sponsors... | ||
