ECS partners with YouTube

YouTube is the new exclusive broadcasting platform of the Esports Championship Series (ECS), the league's organisers have announced.

The multi-year partnership between ECS and Youtube will come into effect on March 25, in time for the Season 3 Promotion stage, which will determine the last four teams entering the league.

The news marks a huge shift in the ECS structure, with Twitch having been a partner of FACEIT since the launch of the league, which paid out $3.5 million over the first two seasons.  


ECS signs a multi-year deal with YouTube

The ECS is now the second big CS:GO competition to partner with YouTube, which was announced in January as the exclusive platform for the English-language broadcast of the ESL Pro League throughout 2017.

"YouTube offers fans of the ECS an unmatched online viewing experience," FACEIT Chief Business Officer and co-founder Michele Attisani said in a statement.

"YouTube is by far the most watched platform for gamers in the world and continues to innovate and lead on video technology, making it a great place for us to call our new home for the Esports Championship Series".

All ECS matches will be streamed live in 1080p/60 fps, with "advanced future integrations" soon to be unveiled within YouTube and FACEIT's gaming platform. YouTube has also vowed to work closely with the ECS players to provide guidance on how they can grow the audience of their channels. 

"This is our most significant investment into esports to date and illustrates our continued commitment to growing esports with the hundreds of millions of gamers watching YouTube each day," Ryan Wyatt, Global Head of Gaming Content at YouTube, added.

"The ECS revenue sharing and co-ownership structure reinforces our belief that all players should have a voice. We know the CS:GO community is already watching clips, highlights, and rebroadcasts on YouTube, so we are excited to be able to bring them all this same action live."

ESL can go diddle themselves, the past years they became a disgrace to esports with their problems. Valve made the right decision and I don't get why Riot is still letting them run League of Legends tournaments. I'd bet ELEAGUE and Starladder would take ESL's spot with pleasure. Edit: Valve has no problem by the way with YouTube streaming, I'm pretty sure ELEAGUE Major was streamed on YouTube. It's just that if you do it exclusively, a huge viewerbase gets lost because Twitch simply is the leader of gaming streams.

So you have bad internet? If Youtube gets all the big organisations from Twitch, they don't even have to make the viewer experience better, since no one else is streaming the matches. And even if they lose some clients, it doesn't matter since they have so many different sources of revenue. I don't care about the rewind feature, I'm watching the game live for a reason.

It may also be due to people rewinding slightly (or accidentally) and not bringing it back live. The live button also doesn't work as well as actually dragging the bar. Otherwise the player is good and the quality is amazing

First ESL now ECS, RIP CS viewership, they underestimated the pettiness of Liberals in the US election, and YouTube likewise has underestimated the serious resistance to change that gamers have i.e. see every valve update changing maps or guns in CSGO and the initial reaction.

anyone banging on about Twitch chat is a moron. the real problem with this is that YouTube's format is shit meaning that it's difficult to find an Esports stream if you don't follow the scene much on YouTube meaning that it's less convenient to find a game when you want to find one.

not everyone following CS:GO knows about the existence of hltv. most people watching the game are casuals who probably don't know about what HLTV is and just watches big tournaments/majors occasionally. of course for people who know about HLTV this is the solution but for normal casuals looking to find games on twitch then it's a big problem.
