Esport.org to broadcast WEG Masters live using cutting edge, high-definition technology

21 April, 2006 – STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN AND HANGZHOU, CHINA

Esport.org announces the launch of a revolutionary video delivery system, implemented on its site for the first time today, in conjunction with today’s kickoff of the much-anticipated WEG Masters tournament. The system will allow fans of esports – or competitive videogaming - to experience unprecedented, crystal-clear coverage of the WEG Masters via the Internet.

Fans can visit esport.org, download a thin-client application for their web browser, and immediately begin viewing both live streams and pre-recorded video-on-demand footage of past events. The system is based on recent technology developed by pioneering Danish technology company Octoshape.

“The Octoshape engine is really something special,” said Esport.org founder Johan Ryman. “What Bit Torrent accomplished for file distribution, Octoshape is now bringing to the world of real-time streaming media. Peer networking allows everyone to enjoy super high-quality feeds while keeping our own bandwidth costs manageable. I really can’t wait for everyone to experience this – it’s a huge step forward for the esports industry.”

As well as allowing unlimited viewer capacity, esport.org’s streaming video service will allow quality settings of both 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.”

The WEG Masters tournament will feature the world’s elite gamers battling each other for the coveted title of World Champion. After three highly successful seasons, this is the first WEG tournament to offer consistent, on-demand live broadcasts to fans outside of Asia.
