Because these Events are unable to be viewed on TwitchTV, HitboxTV, AzubuTV, or any other streaming services besides those listed, it makes AfreecaTV an exception service for the Storm League, especially when taking into consideration Latency, quality, and other technical issues that can potentially arise from people from NA attempting to watch broadcasts in China, Korea, Japan, ect.

Recognize AfreecaTV?

You may recognize AfreecaTV from the StarCraft 1: BroodWar streams here on Team Liquid, if you have not checked out those streams then be sure to do so, these broadcasters have some of the most amazing displays of skill known in gaming.

Wow, just read about this from a business partner (Telecom). This is going to be great for the community. It sounds fun! I hope it goes well!

I think I'm growing to like the name AfreecaTV, I guess Koreans really are starting to want that abbreviation more and more.

Unfortunately I can't participate because I'm working on a series of blogs and catching up with SC2 once I'm done with the last couple things of this semester,

biggest issues I have with afreeca are that all streams buffer frequently, seem to stop loading completely at times too, and that it's not possible to have multiple streams open at the same time.

Guys, please keep note that we are talking about AfreecaTV Global, not the Korean AfreecaTV, please check out www.afreeca.tv and watch the streams there, the Korean Afreeca streams here on TeamLiquid are actually not the AfreecaTV Global (Non-Korean) streams that are listed, this is essentially the "Foreign" AfreecaTV or Non-Korean, Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the feedback!!

Hopefully you'll grow big enough to have streams for big SC2 competitions on Afreeca, kinda like PL/S2SL has an Azubu stream. The more alternatives to Twitch there are, the better.

I wish Afreeca major success. Streaming is like such a weird business, I'm not sure how companies can break in to get decent market share.

I hope streaming doesnt end up like Youtube.... yeah there are other video sharing websites outside of Youtube, but at the same time they're nowhere near as popular.

Then you have odd situation where you need viewers to get money to pay streamers, and in order to pay streamers you need viewers. So thats a very difficult hurdle to get through.

When afreecaTV gets the license to broadcast something, in this case Premier League, that license also extends to users to rebroadcast. So often times during big sporting events, for example the World Cup, you might see several afreecaTV BJs commentating on it with their own style. One user did this for baseball and eventually got picked up by a network to do it professionally.

However, to keep it on topic, since this is in the SC2 forum, we have the license to SPOTV's SC2 events. Anyone is free to broadcast those games as well.

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

Comparatively, the streaming software is simple compared to OBS, and i'm guessing you mean XSplit instead of Twitch, compared to XSplit, whether you are using just the AfreecaTV streaming platform and or with FFSplit, is just as easy as streaming on using XSplit or Obs on Twitch. Check it out sabas !! Would love to see your BW play!

It needs work and they are actively redesigning it to be better.

Currently, the best way to setup a broadcast, at least for gaming, is to setup your stream with X Split / FF Split and use it in conjunction with the afreecaTV Studio.

streams get 5 viewers max tho

Not the ones i watch. Afreeca are also naughty and stream premier league games (football) and those get 1000s it funny cuz it has two Koreans in the studio commentating on it haha.


When afreecaTV gets the license to broadcast something, in this case Premier League, that license also extends to users to rebroadcast. So often times during big sporting events, for example the World Cup, you might see several afreecaTV BJs commentating on it with their own style. One user did this for baseball and eventually got picked up by a network to do it professionally.

However, to keep it on topic, since this is in the SC2 forum, we have the license to SPOTV's SC2 events. Anyone is free to broadcast those games as well.


Do you have licenses for Formula 1 or Indycar Series?
