While Microsoft has thrown in the towel with Mixer, the Asian giant Tencent He is driving a streaming platform from the shadows to compete against Twitch. This platform has the name of ‘I find Live‘, and despite being in Beta phase, it offers interesting incentives such as a payment of 100 dollars to all those streamers that reach the 100 followers, money that is paid thanks to a recent investment of 30 million dollars.
“The fact that Tencent is a sponsor of many of the gaming smartphones is definitely a huge advantage, as they manage most of the world’s most competitive mobile games,” said Bobby Plays, a game content creator with nearly 450,000 YouTube subscribers who have recently joined the nascent service. So far “he has had nothing but good experiences” with Trovo, although the platform’s operators have not directly informed him of their Tencent affiliation.
I find Live it is currently in beta and houses several creators with double-digit audiences. The most popular titles of the service include the most popular mobile games of the moment such as Call of Duty: Mobile or PUBG Mobile (created by Tencent itself), although there are also streams of multiplayer games for PC such as Valorant, Fortnite, Call of Duty : Modern Warfare or its variant Battle Royale, the Call of Duty: Warzone.
In the Trovo Live terms of service they include a single reference to be “an affiliate of Tencent Holdings Limited“, but the Trovo address detailed there coincides with Tencent’s North American office. For now Trovo Live aspires to keep the Mixer gapThat is, behind Twitch and Facebook Gaming, but with Tencent’s Asian super corporation behind the platform, hopefully they will be looking for any possible method for this to change anytime soon.
