Gaming Live wants to provide competition for Amazon’s Twitch in video game livestreaming.

The Warsaw, Poland-based Gaming Live, which is part of the Seedcamp business accelerator, has announced it is going to launch a beta version of its platform “to battle Twitch” on Feb. 1. That won’t be an easy competition, as Twitch has pioneered game livestreaming for e-sports and other fans over the last few years. At last count, Twitch had 60 million monthly visitors. But the Polish company is out to show that livestreaming can support more than one big company. Twitch grew so fast that it drew the attention of Amazon, which acquired Twitch for $970 million last summer.
