[Digital Today reporter Ho-jeong Lee] Naver will exclusively broadcast every event of the world\u2019s largest comprehensive esports competition through its streaming platform.<\/p>\n
Naver said on Thursday that Chzzk will exclusively live stream all 25 events of the global esports festival Esports World Cup 2026 (EWC 2026), running from July 6 to Aug. 23. The tournament has total prize money of more than $75 million (about 110 billion won). The company expanded its coverage from 15 events last year to all 25 this year.<\/p>\n
At this year\u2019s tournament, Chzzk will produce Korean-language broadcasts for nine events with strong interest in South Korea, including League of Legends, Valorant, PUBG: Battlegrounds and Overwatch. It will also support Korean for six additional events for the finals only, and apply artificial intelligence (AI) subtitles to English-language broadcasts. The AI subtitles provide translations in a real-time, low-latency live environment, reflecting game-domain terms and context.<\/p>\n
Chzzk will also apply an AI clip function to major Korean-language broadcast events to quickly generate highlights. It will introduce an AI chapter function across all Korean-language broadcast events to make it easier to navigate game flow.<\/p>\n
Chzzk\u2019s broadcast of the Road to EWC qualifiers held in May drew 7.37 million cumulative viewers and 15.62 million cumulative views across all events. A total of 1,142 streamers took part in co-viewing at the time. It plans to support a co-viewing ecosystem at the main tournament that combines the official broadcast, streamer commentary and live chat. It also plans to present streamers\u2019 on-site visit content from Paris during the tournament, along with a special EWC edition of its original League of Legends analysis podcast, “Sseul.Keun.Ji”.<\/p>\n
Shin Seul-gi (\uc2e0\uc2ac\uae30), Naver\u2019s game content partnership leader, said, “As EWC is an esports festival that brings together globally popular events and diverse fandoms, Chzzk plans to provide a viewing environment where fans can enjoy familiar events more deeply and new events more easily by combining full-event broadcasts, AI-based convenience features and co-viewing content.” She added, “We will continue to expand Chzzk\u2019s differentiated viewing culture where users enjoy and participate together in a multifaceted way, based on popular intellectual property (IP), the streamer ecosystem and Naver\u2019s technology capabilities.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Naver said on Thursday that its platform Chzzk will exclusively live stream all 25 events of the global…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72858,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[623],"tags":[1728,39492,39493,657,39494],"class_list":["post-72857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-naver","tag-chzzk","tag-esports-world-cup-2026","tag-ewc-2026","tag-naver","tag-road-to-ewc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
