ESL and DreamHack, both under parent company Modern Times Group (MTG), have signed a one-year, Mandarin-language exclusive deal with Chinese streaming service DouYu.
The ESL Pro Tour for Starcraft II and Warcraft III will be live-streamed exclusively on DouYu in Mandarin and other Chinese dialects.
This deal follows a similar deal in April where Twitch gained the rights to exclusively stream ESL and DreamHack events in English, although that deal spanned three years. The deal with Twitch also included the ESL Pro Tour competitions for both CS:GO and Dota 2, in addition to Warcraft III and StarCraft II.
