If you can’t compete with Twitch’s viewership, you can try to beat them with quality.

Esports streaming site Azubu announced a new HTML 5 viewer today: Everest. It enables viewers to watch 4K, 60 frames-per-second broadcasts of competitive gaming while using 80 percent less CPU than previous Azubu viewers. It doesn’t run on Flash, so you can watch Everest on mobile browsers like Safari, Android Web, and Chrome for Android. Esports are a growing market and could generate $463 million this year, and streaming services like Azubu and its competitor Twitch are a big part of that growth.
