ESEA Season 21 announced

December 2, 2015

ESEA has announced Season 21 of its league, provisionally scheduled to begin January 17th, 2016 and end May 1st, 2016.

Teams new to Open are free to register now. Existing teams will have to wait for the conclusion of Season 20 before their rosters are unlocked and they are moved to the appropriate division for next season. All teams will have until January 13th, 2016 at 11:59pm CDT to register and pay league fees for six players on their roster in order to ensure their spot in the upcoming season.

While it appears that ESEA will maintain the current structure of three divisions for North America, league admins have warned that the season is not guaranteed to happen even though it has been announced.

hopefully more of season 21 will be uploaded to the tftv youtube. there were 10 videos uploaded over the course of season 20 so far, which gathered over 25,000 views. (2,500 avg views per vid)
compared to the 35 ETF2L videos in season 22 with over 71,000 views (2,028 avg views per vid).

I'd think it could be argued that youtube is more of a revenue maker than twitch is, when it comes to tftv.

SnazI'd think it could be argued that youtube is more of a revenue maker than twitch is, when it comes to tftv.

More views doesn't equal more revenue per se. Ad clicks per view and share percentages, as well as Twitch subscriber money make this a little more complicated.

However, I don't get why things which were streamed on Twitch haven't always been uploaded to YouTube over the past few seasons. The Fall Classic latter rounds and the ESEA S20 end of play-offs are prime examples of this. It would also be nice to have everything uploaded to YouTube "for future generations". It's already been streamed; seems a shame to let that content and the hard work of the production crew be sucked into the eternal void now that Twitch doesn't archive it anymore.

I think the revenue is probably the least important part. The more important part is accessibility & coverage, which Youtube has in spades over Twitch vods.

I'm sure the crew will get around to putting the rest up soon.

Iirc LAN was always on ESEA's channel. I remember there being an ESEA orange channel for twitch. Not sure how it was handled for youtube tho.

It appears that division placements have been completed and rosters have been unlocked for non-Invite divisions.
