In 2003, players waited to watch CCTV5's "E-sports World" program in front of the TV. However, soon after the video game was blocked, there were few screens on the TV screen to see the game program.
Then later, players played various game programs on the Internet and drew on the tricks of the big God's commentator.
Since then, the domestic e-sports game environment has become increasingly relaxed. We have been fortunate enough to have seen the real-time style of international high-end electric games through the webcast platform...

In this way, e-sports tournaments held on cruise ships have gimmicks, bonuses, stars, etc.. Compared with traditional electric games, there seems to be more elements that many young people love. However, with so much entertainment, will players really buy it? At present, we still don't know. What is important is that in this Nanyang Cup e-sports competition, the converged video App TV cat will be broadcast as a full-fledged TV partner. The players who cannot board in person can feel the various games and exciting activities on the ship through the live broadcast of TV cats. .
According to the 2016 China E-sports Content Ecology Report released by iResearch, China’s e-sports have entered an outbreak period. By 2017, the number of e-sports users nationwide will reach 220 million, of which 89% of e-sports users prefer to be enthusiastic. Watch electric competitions, watch and discuss games with friends, and experience the atmosphere of e-sports. Due to the limitations of mobile phones and computer screens, it is very difficult for viewers to reach this level when using these devices to watch games. In contrast, large-screen e-sports can bring together friends and family to a large extent, and they have a refreshing outlook and a strong gaming atmosphere.
In the video game live broadcast, TV cats will undoubtedly go even further than similar video apps. Whether it is the previous WCA, NEST, IGL, or the present Nanyang Cup, the TV cat has been recommending live games for young players with excellent live streaming and high-definition HD so that everyone can gather and treat the game like a football game. Perhaps this is also a kind of "sports charm" of e-sports.
