Couldn't the French streams just use Twitch for WCS and then Dailymotion for whatever else they want?

it's a webTV, they run 24/7 (planning rest is restreams) they can't just tell people to switch just for WCS

Well if they so desperatly want to broadcast WCS...?

I just remember that Llewellys recently said that Blizzard/ESL told Millenium/aAa/O'Gaming that they could stream the Premier League but not the Challenger. Now they can't stream either of them.

Just stream on the fking twitch omg.

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???

Because the problem is not Dailymotion or Twitch. This is just a supposition. At this time, only ESL knows why French structure can't stream WCS.

this isn't the issue
the two largest audience for WCS are germans and french
germans have their own stream cause they are english literate and they're going to keep watching esl stream anyway (mainly)
give the french a stream and ESL loses 40% of their audience

Ok so why try to negociate with ESL... 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.

Then maybe they should "buy" license from ESL to stream WCS. 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.

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...

Kerri: We already streamed on twitch before in a similar case, this is clearly not the issue here.

if it's not about dailymotion then why would they ban the french stream ?

Why would ESL accept to give away for free a significant (?) part of its viewer and revenue ?

This is a pathetic thread, SC2Kerri.
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.

Because, as it's been pointed out multiple times, French Organizations have previously already broadcasted multiple events on twitch, then it might be a revenue sharing issue in this case.

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.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

But why would French organization agree to stream other championships on stream (IEM / Dreamhack... etc..) and not WCS ? That makes no-sense. Except if you believe that our french community makes drama to make drama... as a french i don't hink so but well.

Isn't there polish, german and russian stream already in addition to the english stream for wcs? What could be the problem for a french stream? I need more informations to have a real opinion there.. To be fair, I'm french, I always watch the english stream but open the french stream and keep it muted to support them.
