We’re quickly entering a world where you will never miss a pro match of Dota 2.
The game livestreaming site Azubu announced today that it has nailed down the rights to broadcast Mars TV’s Dota 2 League outside of China. This means fans in North America, Europe, and everywhere else can tune into the Mars TV channel on Azubu to catch the event live. Qualifying kicks off 5 p.m. Pacific time on Monday, and the season will continue through January. The top teams compete for $270,000 in prizes. This move by Azubu represents both the thirst for esports content around the world — League of Legends just had 36 million unique viewers for its finals — as well as the continued globalization of the competitive gaming scene.
