2015 was big, but we think 2016 will be even bigger. With so much looming on the horizon, it’s hard not to dream up some big business moves in the coming year. Here’s what we’d like to see, but feel free to share if you can think of anything else!

Yahoo buys Azubu

Azubu’s debt financing, trumpeted as a win, may in fact be significant for quite another reason. Our analysis poked some holes in Azubu’s business model, but there’s one big play that could flip the table—a buyout. With Twitch heading Amazon’s way, there’s bound to be some room for acquisition for other streaming sites, if they can prove their worth.

Our best guess? Yahoo will want to enter the scene, and soon, for a number of reasons. The popular website has been experimenting as of late with several parallel features to esports, including sports streaming and daily fantasy betting. Putting the pieces together, an esports streaming subsite like Azubu acquired by Yahoo would be an ideal move to keep the web giant in the relevancy game.

Riot franchises LCS

Signs have been coming for months—Riot is moving behind the scenes to better control its league. Unfortunately for everyone, the teams within the LCS are all owned by a variety of different people and companies, from former pros to venture capital investors. That means a massive conflict of interest among the various parties, especially between team owners and Riot Games.

We think the best solution is the most obvious one—Riot granting itself ownership of the individual team spots, then leasing them out to the various teams. Previous rulings by Riot over team ownership and management lean highly in this direction, and would give the developer unspoken control over these attributes, rather than Riot having to make a new case for involvement each time.

MTG creates an ESL/DreamHack Super Circuit

So MTG owns ESL and DreamHack. Now what? Well, a circuit that combines both of their best features, and a super finals with points from all their events would be an excellent place to start.

Don’t get us wrong—MTG coming out and saying that it doesn’t want to interfere with the current management of either company is great. But defragmenting esports whenever possible, especially under shared ownership, just makes sense. This kind of change would be relatively simple to implement, and would add storylines that could be traced between all these events.

ELEAGUE has a massive live playoff event with a prime-time broadcast

Turner is now into esports, in a big way. Details are still scant about what next year’s ELEAGUE will be, but the channel is promising a regularly scheduled, national broadcast schedule, in addition to significantly more content streaming online. It’s a big step, but done poorly, could be disastrous.

One thing that will seal the deal? Turner needs to make sure that ELEAGUE has playoffs worthy of traditional sports. That means a massive live venue to rival those esports have had in the past (Staples Center, Commerzbank Arena, Madison Square Garden, etc.), along with a prime-time broadcast that will actually turn heads.

Turner says that it wants to run a tournament “staged, produced and promoted in a manner reflective of other major traditional American sports leagues.” A massive finals event would definitely do that goal justice.

Premier tournaments negotiate exclusive streaming rights to streaming sites

One growing trend in esports sees players and teams signing exclusive rights with streaming sites. Azubu has been leading this charge, and while the jury is still out on how valuable these rights really are, one thing is clear—their use as levers on the industry aren’t going anywhere. With Azubu recently signing Brazil’s XLG with exclusive broadcast rights as precedent, we see this trend continuing.

Like it or not, it’s only a matter of time before Twitch has a worthy contender—whether that comes from an existing esports platform like Azubu and Hitbox, or from a media conglomerate like YouTube. Broadcast rights are an absolutely massive business when it comes to traditional sports, and there’s bound to be drawing of firm lines once Twitch isn’t the only meaningful name in the game.

At some point, a big tournament is going to be locked out of Twitch streaming. If enough follow this trend, we can definitely see Twitch stepping into a war with rivals to sign big name tournaments. Really, this isn’t an issue of if—it’s all a matter of when.
