MLB now owns streaming rights to LoL through 2023 for $300 million

[CjBurden]

How the fuck is the right to stream a game that is old as fuck worth $300 million, and how will this game be around for 6 more years. Seems improbable.

MLB's BAMTech streaming platform inks $300 million exclusivity deal with Riot Games for League of Legends

Are they still releasing a new pay to win champion every patch?

[Pirate Steve]

mlb actually has a strong streaming capability and the often consult/collaborate with outside interests

i find any fallacy that morons believe as truth worthy of my attention as a professional troll... from religion to bad games and obsolete sports

I mean... Worlds attracted about 500m viewers? And the main players easily attract 20k viewers each time they stream. Those are pretty good numbers / ad potential. Who knows about viewbots though.

Being around for 6 years? Yeah that I'm not sure about. But this gives MLB a good shot at streaming rights for a sequel (should it come up).

MLB is insanely profitable and has been making a minor comeback beating NFL in some prime ratings

You don't know shit about sports just like NBA wasn't popular around the world (lol Chinese are obsessed with NBA)

All around your clueless


Though I agree this deal is fucking stupid
