00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.440
thanks to Intel for sponsoring this video Intel extreme Masters is a

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:10.240
legendary production that hosts some of the biggest teams playing the most

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:14.480
popular Esports titles and these events happen multiple times a year all over

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:18.800
the world now ESL has invited us to take a look behind the scenes at what it

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:21.960
takes to run one of these types of shows we've never done something like this

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:26.640
before and I'm super excited so let's get to

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.120
it this event is featuring two main titles

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:38.680
simultaneously League of Legends and Counter-Strike Global Offensive and I

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:43.800
mean that literally Esports league has split Oracle Arena in two dedicating one

00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:48.440
side to each title and they're being streamed live at the exact same time the

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:53.000
majority of the magic that you see on the stage itself like all the physical

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.039
effects and LEDs and all that fun stuff is managed by a team of people that is

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:00.800
sandwiched between the two stages hidden by some black curtains doing all of that

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:04.799
stuff live now for the League of Legends matches

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:09.360
those are all hosted on riot games own servers on tournament Realms offsite but

00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:13.640
Counter-Strike on the other hand is hosted here by ESL that helps ESL

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:17.560
because with Riot games they can't set up scripts on the server for counter-

00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:21.400
strike they actually can and that gives them the ability to cue things that

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.280
happen on the server to make effects happen on stage or for your own stream

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.439
that doesn't remove the job of the league operators but it just gives them more control and more ability which is

00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:33.799
pretty cool for the majority of what people will see the live streams we have

00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:38.720
to move on to the main production control room this area is just a sea of

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:43.040
high-end Battle Stations and monitors and control panels absolutely everywhere

00:01:41.479 --> 00:01:46.799
so to keep this manageable we're going to go from group to group first off we

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:51.200
have the fiber rack and there is a lot of runs going to it this is the main

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.079
input for the entire control room and this will include things like all of the

00:01:52.719 --> 00:02:01.520
different cameras the in between stage production area the hosts the casters

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:06.200
everything fin we have the audio mixing station this is specifically for the

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:10.160
broadcast not for the stage if you're watching the stream this guy controls

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:14.360
what you're listening to third we have the graphics station any cool effects or

00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:18.879
awesome looking Graphics that appear on screen are queued up by this guy he has

00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:23.200
some really high-end custom broadcasting software running here not xsplit or OBS

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:26.720
but we'll get more into that later and fourth we have the Observer group this

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:31.640
is the group of guys that will get all the various in-game camera angles that

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:35.680
can be switched to on the Fly and this is also where the instant replay machine

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:40.440
is this guy has to do instant replays manually so if you see a replay on

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:44.040
stream it's cuz this guy was on the ball and then fifth there's the technical

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:48.879
director this guy controls what camera feed is actually being shown on screen

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:52.920
at a specific time the technical director will take cues directly from

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:56.560
the row behind him station number six the producer row this is where the live

00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.360
producer and creative producer will act kind of like Puppet Masters making sure

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:03.680
that all the other stations around them are doing the right thing at the right

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:08.920
time so everything looks good for you guys at home and last but not least is

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.360
the recording and streaming section this is where all of that stuff that we

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:17.239
talked about earlier comes together and is transcoded into one video feed using

00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:21.799
Intel Quicks sync on a core i7 processor the same ones the competitors are using

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:26.080
and then it is put up online through OBS so that you guys can watch it on Twitch

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.319
TV yes I did say OBS they do use OBS for

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:33.000
the final push I assumed ESL setup would be extensive but I never never expected

00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.360
how elaborate it would actually be I really appreciate them showing us around

00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.640
they had to do it while the event was actually running so hopefully you guys

00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:43.680
did like what we were able to show you in the end thank you to Intel for

00:03:41.239 --> 00:03:46.480
