Millenium streamed IEM Sao Paulo ( for their LoL team) on twitch one month ago. So what's the problem why not do the same for WCS EU??? | ||

At this time, only ESL knows why French structure can't stream WCS. | ||

You should ask blizzrad instead. And I think your thinking is actually wrong. Let's assume German are English speakers and french not (which is obviously not true at all): No german stream Germans don't care and go on English stream. ESL happy ESL moar money. No french stream French are sad and don't watch WCS Changes nothing for ESL so far. | ||

Like how TV channels work. | ||

Yes I know that. We don't know what kind of deal ESL and Blizzard have. | ||

And since many of them understand english, they would simply watch the english stream -> more viewers for ESL. For those who can't understand english or would refuse to watch the official stream for whatever reason, too bad for them. And those who can't bear watching (and hearing) a french stream, or who prefer english casts, are not affected at all. This does affect *some* french viewers, and I guess it'd be nice if they had a french stream, but it should not be presented as a general case for *all* french viewers. | ||

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. Kind of funny that the OP doesn't mention anything about this at all... | ||

Asking people to share this post and not even commenting on the problem makes you look very bad. I have no idea if ESL has a reasonable course here but it certainly looks that way if you can't even elaborate on the problem. | ||

This is pure speculation here. But ESL might have wanted the revenues generated from French streams, while the French organizers wanted to keep the revenue, since they were the ones providing the service. Since French organizers wouldn't give up the rights to the revenues, ESL denied them? I repeat, this is pure speculation on the issue. If it wasn't a streaming platform issue, that is. | ||
