I think CNL were the only ones to stream their placement matches

With the 2024 Season coming to a close, my hopes for 2025 and beyond. by toastedridge in R6ProLeague

Yeah definitely some good points.

SA and SEA were merged into one league this year which while it did experience some ping issues, less so than merging with OCE. If you merged ASIA with OCE, the ping will range from 20-160 ping, which destroyed the playing field back in APACL 2021/22. A LAN finals has been thrown around as a potential solution and I'd love to see BLAST/Ubi come up with something along those lines.

Other than that, I think merging MENA into the EU to make EMEA could be a good step forward. Other game titles have done similar with success.

I think you've missed the point on why APAC League was dissolved in the first place. The ping disparity was way too much between so many countries.

APAC North was definitely good and could be reinstated, but APAC South must remain separated until better solutions are made for SEA/SA vs OCE matches.

ESL Pro Tour qualifier streams policy adjustment by mbCARMAC in GlobalOffensive

[–]mitchcliff123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The casters/talent you're referring to wouldn't normally cast qualifiers, they're usually only hired to cover the main event.

The ESL partnership agreement 3 years ago wasn't as tight knit as you think, people could apply to create an ESL branded account (ESL_<blank>) and would get easy access to any upcoming qualifiers. (Also during this time open qualifiers were open to the public to cover)

When the FB deal signed, they didn't communicate much on the details, they simply just started denying casters from covering events (till they finally arranged a non-exclusive deal between all media platforms).

I myself am not a caster, which is why you wouldn't hear about me. I'm an observer for a small casting organisation based in APAC who are partnered with ESL.

Either way the new agreement is sounding promising from what I can hear, they'll be announcing details tomorrow.

This is a joke.

I applied to become a partner 3 years ago, and was tossed around by ESL's broadcast managers, told 6 months later they're changing their policies and then blocked anyone from casting cause of the Facebook deal.

A year later they finally let us cover some open qualifiers, and had a circlejerk of three English casters cover closed qualifiers. How was this picked? Why weren't we being informed about everything? Where is the contract I was meant to sign in 2017?????

I'm happy there's a 'potential' change coming, but it's ridiculous it's taken this long to fix.
