The ESL Pro Tour for StarCraft II and WarCraft III will be live streamed exclusively on DouYu in 2020 and 2021, covering standard Mandarin and other Chinese languages and dialects.

As part of the deal, DouYu has gained the exclusive rights to broadcast the Pro Tours for StarCraft II and WarCraft III live and On-Demand via digital media.
