• Predictions from blogs and podcasts to build hype

2. Provide an easy way to watch the event
• Streaming to all major platforms

• Partnering with international partners to provide native language streams
• Live updating of on and off screen associated assets for keeping up with non streamed games

3. Provide after event info to fuel next years event
