In recent years, the e-sports industry can be said to be very hot, especially the influence of the two projects of the End Game League of Legends and the Glory of the Mobile Game King, the rapid increase in the audience group, but also let more and more people realize how much e-sports is loved by young people today. Not only are there more brands entering e-sports, but the value of esports rights such as the League of Legends LPL is also rising.
In the past year, there were foreign e-sports media reports, saying that Huya won the exclusive rights of LPL for five years at a sky-high price of nearly 2 billion, when this news caused a hot discussion in the e-sports circle, and many viewers also speculated through this news that Huya might broadcast LPL exclusively in the future, and it was also possible to choose to distribute LPL copyrights. In the case that the 2022 League of Legends LPL Spring Tournament is about to start, Huya LOL anchor Sally revealed a heavy news in the e-sports circle, and his original words in the live broadcast room are: This year's LPL Spring Game can only be seen in Huya, and a fish has no copyright.
If Sally's revelations in the live broadcast room are true, then the future LPL spring game may only be watched in Huya. For the audience, this matter has little impact, after all, it does not make much difference in which live broadcast platform to watch the LPL. However, for the live broadcast platform, if you can't get the LPL copyright, it can be said that the loss is very large, after all, for the game live broadcasting platform, the head e-sports event of the LPL is an important way to attract new users, if there is no LPL copyright, it is a heavy loss.
However, Huya may also take the same way as Station B to distribute LPL copyrights to other live broadcasting platforms, so that other game live broadcasting platforms can continue to broadcast LPL as long as they pay money to buy copyrights from Huya. It is not known whether Huya will adopt such a method. However, Sally is the anchor of Huya LOL after all, and obviously got some inside information before she dared to say it to the water friends in the live broadcast.
If Huya really broadcasts the LPL exclusively, it is certain that the traffic is at least earned to fly. After all, after this year's transfer period, many teams ushered in a big reshuffle, coupled with the attention brought by Uzi's comeback, the LPL ratings data of the new season will definitely break the record, from this point of view, Huya's sky-high purchase of LPL exclusive rights can be said to be a win, and the live broadcast platform that can't get the copyright is probably very hurt.
