Community Casts Trend in Esports
summary
Presentation cites EsportCharts data showing independent streamers consistently eclipse official feeds: one streamer outperformed official by 67% and Dota community streams reach 80% in Russian at recent majors; Valorant and PUBG Mobile examples show nearly equal or triple official hours watched, with names like Tarek and Scump driving millions of hours. Built formats include ServerHub, informal hotel watch parties and variety-house productions that scale viewership; a failed attempt to mimic TV-style production proves the key rule: don't make it too professional.
