06/09/22: Overwatch League’s Miller talks future; NRG & Rockstar make music; Riot opens high school play



Medias First Morning Read
Thursday June 9, 2022

Good morning! It’s Thursday and this is your early morning Esports brief.
Bolstered with the upcoming launch of Overwatch 2, Overwatch League hit Texas once again this season, this time for the live Dallas Fuel Kickoff Clash, with the event generating 7.3 million hours watched across 146 hours of airtime, according to Esports Charts. The league is now charged with bridging the gap between the original game and its sequel, and the season has seen a transition on the talent front as some longtime familiar faces departing while some key new talent was brought in. Taking on the role of head of Overwatch League at Activision Blizzard Esports is Sean Miller, who was promoted to the position last November. Cynopsis Esports asked Miller about pushing the league forward, diversifying its talent roster, lessons learned this season and a return to LAN.

Miller on challenges and opportunities: While any business has its challenges, OWL’s opportunities right now far outweigh the headwinds. The biggest of which right now is Overwatch 2. The beta recently broke an all-time Blizzard record on Twitch with peak viewership of 1.4 million viewers, showing the strong demand and passion from a fanbase that can’t wait for more. We’ve already seen positive feedback from both pro players and beta participants that the switch to 5v5 has made the game more fun and easier to watch.

On takeaways so far this season: There’s nothing in esports like a live event, and I can’t wait for more. We just came off an incredible tournament weekend hosted by the Dallas Fuel with thousands of fans showing their support and passion. I love sports and live events generally, but there’s really something special about OWL events. You’re able to feel the excitement for the game through the fans and witness the Overwatch players give their all by competing at the highest level, which is an experience that’s hard to forget.

On how Overwatch 2 will set up the league for long-term growth: The game team’s commitment to making the game a live service is going to set us all up for success. While we all understand that the content drought over the last couple years took a toll on many players, it’s been amazing to see the amount of fans (including myself) who have stayed with the game and League throughout. When I think about this renewed game team commitment to have frequent content updates and patches, I’m confident our fans will be more engaged than ever.

On the role are teams taking in charting the course ahead: Teams play an active role in every part of our business. From short-term fan engagement opportunities to long-term product planning, teams are with us every step of the way. We have multiple touchpoints across our organization to ensure they also get what they need across theirs. From business, competitive operations, events, and marketing, we are always collaborating with our teams.

On new voices: I’m so proud of our casters this year – we’ve had more join us from Contenders (or semi-pro program) than we’ve ever had. They’re crushing it and beloved by the community. To me, that’s what Contenders is all about – developing talent across all parts of our ecosystem (including broadcast talent), and this year it’s showing that it’s working!

On lessons learned from a return to LAN: I believe live events are the lifeblood of esports, and I think taking a two year hiatus from them has only put a magnifying glass on how important they are. The teams (Dallas and Toronto) that are hosting this year seem to recognize that as well, and that now more than ever, it’s important to make these events more than just competition. We want fans to enjoy all there is to love about the Overwatch community in one place – cosplay, gaming stations, and compelling activations, to name a few.

STREAMHATCHET
This week we’re taking a look at the top energy drink brands mentioned in Twitch chat for May 2022.
· Last month, Red Bull secured the top spot with 135k mentions in Twitch chat. In second place was G Fuel with 111k mentions and in third place with 101k mentions was Monster Energy.
· Bang Energy and Mountain Dew Game Fuel placed 4th and 5th for top energy drink brands mentioned in Twitch chat last month with 1.5k and 1.3k mentions respectively.
· Getting Twitch chat to talk about your brand is a good way to measure engagement and potentiality to buy a product. One way brand marketers can work to increase chat mentions and brand awareness of their product is by getting streamers themselves to talk about or use the product.
· Having shorter sponsored segments where the streamer uses or talks about the product for 30 seconds at the start of the stream can get a conversation going in Twitch chat, making the sponsorship more memorable for viewers.
· While Red Bull came in first for chat mentions, it placed second in brand logo presence for energy drink brands. Overall, Red Bull had 3.7% of the total brand logo presence across all brand types on Twitch. It was second to only Monster Energy, which had just over 4% of logo presence across Twitch.
