I was browsing their website for tournament updates when I saw their latest post about some sort of stream contest.
Taken directly from the post:
During WCG 2019 Xi’an, Regional Finals, WCG shall provide voice clean feed for those who wish to provide coverage.
Streamers may choose specific region, game title and language to cover, and stream it on their own channel of preference.
After all Regional Finals are done, 1 channel per region will be selected, based on following criteria:
- Quality: Quality of commentary, overlay, thumbnail, etc.
- Quantity: Number of live stream coverage and VODs produced
- Professionalism: Promptness with schedule, use of professional manner when presenting, etc
- Passion: Show of enthusiasm towards coverage during both on-screen and off-screen times.
The winners will receive opportunity to be invited to Xi’an (free travel and accommodations), and may have opportunity to produce contents on-site!

Unfortunately I am not a streamer, but this sounds like a great opportunity for those who are streamers even for other languages besides english. I'm very impressed by WCG and their inclusion of so many different aspects of the esports scene beyond just the players.
They have posted on the article the schedule for the regional finals which is the focus of the streaming contest, and if you aren't going to stream at least you know when to start watching. Maybe I'll find some cool new streamers to start following.
