If you dig around long enough on the Team Liquid forums you can find JTV's customer service that eventually won all of the business from Ustream and Livestream.

If you dig around long enough on the Team Liquid forums you can find JTV's customer service that eventually won all of the business from Ustream and Livestream. Back in the summer of 2010 Ustream was the primary site for streaming sc2 tournaments/community stuff. Emmett and Co. reached out to the community and won everyone over about a year before the rebrand as twitch. This is kind've a shoutout to tl and the sc2 community that no doubt had a major role in snowballing twitch into what they are. Emmett keeping in close contact with the user base notwithstanding!
