Tournament organisers ESL and DreamHack have entered a three-year broadcast partnership with live streaming platform Twitch.
From 2021, the English streams for “major” ESL and DreamHack events will be exclusively broadcast on the platform.
The deal sees Twitch named as the global digital media partner of ESL and DreamHack events on a non-exclusive basis in 2020, before exclusivity comes into play through to 2022. The agreement includes all ESL Pro Tour tournaments for CS:GO, StarCraft II, and Warcraft II, as well as ESL Pro League, IEM, DreamHack Masters, and DreamHack Open.
