summary

Explains how esports moves from web streams to broadcast with concrete examples: franchised Overwatch League with 12 city teams, Riot’s 13 regional leagues, pros training 60–80 hours a week, and production tactics like a noob stream for casuals and a “game command” multi‑player POV. Distribution mixes Twitch/YouTube, linear TV and in-game live broadcasts. Cites scale — about 4 billion minutes viewed with only one quarter on linear — and advertiser playbooks (authentic integrations, Arby’s campaign).
