Streaming
As stated elsewhere on this site streaming is a incredibly important part of eSports, it allows viewers from all over the world to log in and watch their favourite games being played competitively at any given time. it is a very lucrative form of broadcast as it does not require all that much technology, just a extremely powerful computer, there are several websites that allow a user to pick from many streaming sites, Some of these are Owned.tv, Livestream.com and Twitch.TV these are by and large very much focused on the medium of gaming.
Below we see that Desports have embedded their twitch.TV stream into their site, it is embedded in a small way in the side panel of the site yet it is still somethings that a viewer might find attractive to watch as for the ability to make the screen much larger.
other sites like to act as more of a library for many streams inviting popular streamers from other sites like Twitch and Owned. These Streamers are given advertising revenue as well for in-stream ads and once they join a site like team liquid they can gather a much bigger audience faster through use of the forums and comment functionality of the site.
Above is the stream selection section of team liquid, it is where the vast majority of fans from various games come from.
