Expanding New Horizons on EGF Twitch

Upcoming broadcasts in 2019

Greetings everyone! Today, we are excited to make a few announcements on the official EGF Twitch channel . As you may have seen or heard before, we have been producing live game commentaries from major European Go events since October 2018. Today, as we reach 5 million views and 5.8k followers, we look forward to continue developing the channel as a rising hub for top-quality Go content.

Perhaps you have already seen a lot of top-level action from previous tournaments, such as the 2019 European Grand Slam Yike Cup. If you missed it, don’t worry - we have uploaded all commentaries to the official EGF YouTube channel! Earlier VODs will be uploaded later; in any case, there are plenty of valuable lessons to learn from the commentaries - available for free, viewable at any time.

The 2019 European Professional Qualification is around the corner! This year, we will be streaming remotely from Berlin, Germany with featured commentators Ali Jabarin 2p (Israel) and Lukas Kraemer 6d (Germany). As usual, this event will be featured on the Twitch front page; you may check the link above for schedules and pairings.

In addition, we have two more events left before August - the 2019 Hamburg Kido Cup (top 8) and the 2019 European Championship (schedule TBA). Don’t miss out on these matches as we will be trying our best to bring you live commentaries from the top boards!

Launching our new schedule (in June 2019) with authorized streamers

While we do hope that you have enjoyed the tournament coverage, it is our hope to provide a better variety of content for everyone. That’s why we have decided to open up the EGF Twitch channel to fellow European creators; this will be a new, exciting chapter in our development, and we cordially invite everyone to join our efforts!

Please acknowledge that all revenues from Twitch ads, bits, subscriptions and one-time/recurring donations will go towards EGF broadcasting funding. However, you can promote your own website/channel while streaming, as long as we approve of the links you plan to post.

Your streams on EGF Twitch are exclusive - you may not rebroadcast to any other Twitch channel or platform (including YouTube, Facebook Live, etc.) In other words, your EGF content must be only streamed on our channel, but this is a great opportunity to promote yourself and possibly pick up more fans! Of course, you may still keep the vast majority of your personal streaming schedule; it’s up to you to decide how much you want to stream - even once every month can be tremendous!

Last but not least…

Each broadcast takes many hours of labor by our hard-working hosts, commentators, producers, graphic designers, and support staff. While we would like to keep bringing you the best quality content, we kindly ask you to make a donation to EGF broadcasting. Even a small donation would be sincerely appreciated!

In addition, we are always looking for chat mods (who help maintain the chat rooms in order) and folks who spread the word on social media. We are blessed with wonderful support from our Go community, and we hope that you’ll be interested in contributing as well!
