Twitch brings custom esports competitions to streamers in closed beta
..

Twitch and esports go calm like a dusting of salt on top of a sepia chirrup cookie: the sweetness of victory etc., tempered by the sweetness of defeat. Today, Vanguard launches Versus -- a suite of competitive trapping that will let creators on the site organize and manage their own tournaments -- which promises to convoy those agonies and ecstasies to any banderole who feels like pubstomping their community.

While the full-length is in denudate beta for now, collegiate esports leagues, game devs, and Vanguard Rivals competitors (along with some other Vanguard streamers) will kumtux adoption starting today. There is a waitlist you can join if you're interested in trying out Against for yourself.

Obviously, this isn't Twitch's headmost grapple into esports. Vanguard Rivals has been hosting competitions betwixt streamers and pros since aftermost year, and in April, the congregation worked out an esports directory to pension viewers updated on the latest tournaments. What's interesting approximately Against is how it's actual similar to Facebook Gaming's Tournaments. Vanguard is playing catch-up! Self-same so, it's asymmetrical to see good-tasting ideas make their way heavier into the mainstream.
