The World eSports Games will see the debut of a brand new video delivery system from Esport.org. The website debuts in conjunction with the kick off of the WEG Masters event in Hangzhou, China. Eight top gaming teams in Counter-Strike and players in Warcraft III have congregated in China for a shot of $152,000 USD in prizes. Esport.org has unveiled its new technology today based off the Octoshape engine, which brings "unprecedented, crystal-clear coverage of the WEG Masters via the Internet." An unlimited number of viewers will be able to watch this video with quality settings 450kb/s to 750kb/s.

“The video quality is stunning,” said Mark Barthelemy, Vice President of World Esports Games, Inc. “Our fans are in for a real treat - they’re going to be able to tune into the action like never before. WEG actively seeks partners committed to raising the bar in esports broadcasting, and that’s exactly what esport.org’s newest solution is all about.”

Esport.org uses the engine developed by Danish technology company, Octoshape. This engine allows for viewers to watch the stream through a peer to peer network, similar to that of Bit Torrents. This technology should allow for an unlimited number of viewers while maintaining high quality video with minimal bandwidth costs. As stated, the debut of this technology comes with the start of the WEG Masters event. Both of GotFrag's on-site staff, Trevor "Midway" Schmidt and Mark "jESUIT" Cheben, will be providing live shoutcasting and color commentary coverage, so be sure to check out Esport.org. Also stayed tuned to WEG Live and GotFrag for all your coverage of the 2006 WEG Masters.
