I am happy today to let everyone know that ESV TV, one of the leaders in online broadcasting for Starcraft II will be expanding! League of Legends has been added to ESV TV as an official title and have a great first event to be bringing you!
The Gigabyte StarsWar League pits some of the top Asian teams against each other for a prize pool of over $11,000! Featuring teams like WE, NaJin Shield, Invictus Gaming, and more this is a league you will not want to miss! This event will be casted by FourCourtJester and RAPiD! Other guest casters will be joining from time to time as well!
We will be starting coverage with the second group as the first one has already completed with Invictus Gaming and NaJin Shield advancing from the group stage to the LAN Finals!
Who will come out of Group B to advance? Only one way to find out, just watch and enjoy the games!
ScheduleSunday, Nov 11 7:30am GMT (GMT+00:00) - Grand Finals vs.

Interesting that a Korean team is participating in StarsWar.
Rooting for OMG. Gotta support MikakoTabe and Wh1t3zz!

Looks good!
I'll be interested to see how the LoL replay infrastructure holds up. IIRC, it's pretty buggy. At the same time, if it is up to the task, that'd be great. One of the least appealing things about watching LoL (particularly when matches are done online) is the incredible amount of down time that is typical between matches and between the games themselves. Some times it'll take half an hour just to get everyone in the right lobby. And then someone's got the wrong rune pages, etc. etc.....
ETA: I'm also excited to see some new caster blood. It feels like nearly everything is done by Riot's favorite yellers these days.

Yes we have already had some issues where the replays randomly broke for a short time for no reason. However atm everything is stable and short of crashes we should be able to have a more streamlined broadcast I think.
Always open to feedback of course, I like to know what you guys want!
For example here is our overlay (we have already fixed a few things since this pic such as support and ADC being reversed): http://imgur.com/KdqDX

You can re-arrange order of the champions in the bottom overlay now I think.
Are the side icons customisable? Might be necessary for double-AP strategies, for example.
Also not sure how to squeeze this in, but a Dragon/Baron timer might be nice.

Yeah we will re-arrange in the game itself to match up, but in that overlay we have support as 4th instead of 5th, minor thing but it will be fixed ^^.
I don't know how we can do a dragon/baron timer at this point without interfering with the stream (since this is all produced off one PC).

Yea its based around an NA schedule, I will run a rebroadcast for a full 24 hours after however, so tune in any time that day!

Great stuff!!!!
Asian teams are so good and the games are extremely fun to watch. OGN has had the best games so far, hopefully ESV matches that.

We are a small company so there is some things they do we cannot, but we will always try our best!

Very excited to see this was a HUGE fan of the sc2 coverage and the new maps that they tried to get into the greater scene. the overlay looks great and I wish you great luck with that replay program, hopefully earlier then later Riot releases a first party version of it.

I am beyond crossing my fingers it's a big end of S2 reveal like they did with Spectator in S1.

I would prefer if you could write a starting time in the KR evening because its a 24h rebroadcast I dont know when it started. Something like this that the next rebroadcast will start at 19:00 KST. If its possible.
Do you have a korean translation for this announcement? because on inven there is no news :< ah in the calender there are the games.

The rebroadcast system will be imperfect as VERY rarely does a cast go a perfect even amount of time (ex: 3 hours 0 mins, 4 hours 0 mins, etc). As NA is out target demographic our start times will reflect that. I will try and do my best to make it clear as possible.
Also we have no announcement on the Korean forums as it's in English so I doubted there would be much use for them. Is there a demand for English casting for Koreans?

They would be interested in watching their korean teams especially against chinese teams. Just tell them that they can learn listening comprehension ^^ On inven they have a wrong schedule 19:00StarsWar League LGD Gaming vs AHQ 21:00StarsWar League AHQ vs TM.Origin I guess this is the same StarsWar league

I just checked, there is a Korean stream in Korean for this. They are likely live casting vs replays which we are doing so schedules will be different.

are these the games that were already played on the 7-11th?

Some will be, yes. After the first week and we get all the bugs worked out we will have a MUCH quicker turnaround. However there is still no english cast of these games so it will be the first time to anyone that does not speak Korean or Chinese.
Edit: All games are set to run on the Syndra patch if anyone cares. It's what the Korean/Taiwan tournament realm is set to.

Worked on my observing all last night for you guys, we will have a dedicated obs (myself) for this

will defintely tune in. Glad ESV has expanded to LoL, my second favorite esports title.

Also LoL weeklies = next step?

Live updates guys. Not home yet.

ohgod, im so tired still from the S2 finals, im not gonna make the next 30 minutes

Just realized a lot of the LoL community might now know how we do this, so just a heads up the stream will be up soon but the broadcast starts at 22:10 GMT (+00:00), that way everyone has time to grab a drink or snack or whatever before we start.
|
<3 TL's automatic timezone conversion for lazybones like myself.
|
Really enjoying OMG's comp in this second game - Galio mid, Nunu jungle & Blitz support providing amazing zone control/buffs for solo top Vayne & bot ADC Corki.
|
So refreshing seeing an online tournament not being run by directed camera. Keep up the good work Diamond ;P
|
Needs more viewers though. If they only announced this on TL its clearly not enough, as the TL LoL community is quite small.

OMG 2-0'd TM Orange
Dunno if there was a series before that.

Since these are from replays, the results are already up on Leaguepedia.

Ha, the Amumu pick on Storm is great against WE's Skarner/Blitz, they keep grabbing/Impale-ing him, setting him up for great ults :/
|
Wow...... what a turn around

In all fairness this is our first cast, so we did not want a bazillion viewers, we want to refine our work a bit more first!

No, I think it's necessary, if it's missing. You get into a game, midmatch. You want to know what game it is. This is assuming the match is Bo3 or higher.

Yea sorry we thought we would have that ready for today, didn't get done. Will be on future casts, as this is still a very new thing for us. <3 for watching however, we are trying!
On a side note, how is the observing, I'm doing it and trying some new things I haven't seen done b4 in LoL, might be bad or good idk, so would love to hear what u guys think.

I think the overlay takes a alot of space. Its a little bit wierd, maybe i jsut need to get used to it. Camerawork is fine!

Thanks for any one that tuned in, had a lot of fun and hope to find some more events!
Btw if you see any Asian events lacking English coverage feel free to hit me up, I can likely find the organizers to see about coverage!

Also NLB starts next week and it doesn't have English coverage. It's similar to Code A, with teams that didn't make it to The Champions and teams that drop down from The Champions group stage, but I'm not sure if there is enough interest in the west for it at the moment. Link

For NLB the korean cast is available for everybody so there maybe a little bit competition. I believe that NLB should advertise their events better for western fans. But many tournament organizer forget about the right advertisement in reddit, riot forum etc. :/ ITs really sad to see
