Team Liquid Partners With HUYA
June 21 2019
This is one of the most ambitious crossovers of all time.
Team Liquid is excited to announce that we’re partnering with HUYA to bring our Twitch live streams to China. This is actually the largest collaboration in esports between a Chinese content platform and a Western organization, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of our strong Chinese fanbase. This partnership takes our fan-building to the next level by reaching the world’s biggest esports audience.
Select Liquid player Twitch streams will also be available on the HUYA platform using Restream.io, a back-end system that allows players to restream on different platforms with ease. Our League of Legends, CS:GO, Apex Legends, and PUBG teams, as well as our Hearthstone player Fr0zen, will now have their streams available through HUYA. The technology limits delays to just six seconds and allows 1080p restreams with a simple touch of a button.
"It's taken us a year to find the right live streaming partner in China and we couldn't be more excited to work with HUYA. Fans in China will be able to watch streams and have a direct connection with their favorite pros in a way that was impossible before now. We know that this partnership is the start of something amazing and hope that Chinese fans new and old enjoy everything that's coming from Team Liquid and HUYA." - Mike Milanov, COO
For fans of DoubleLift we also have a very exciting announcement. We see how much support you give to DoubleLift and it means a lot to all of us so we’ll be live translating Big Brother’s stream! We’re hoping this will help bridge the gap between DoubleLift and his fans in China and will make it a more immersive experience for everyone. As we move forward with our partnership with HUYA you can expect other players to also have live translations in the very near future.
Expect to see us on HUYA coming soon. To keep up to date on our latest developments in China, please follow our official Weibo account.
