YouTube Live to take on Twitch and be announced at E3

[RavenXXX2]

YouTube Live represents Google really going for it. There's a team of 50 engineers creating the platform and, said one source, "gaming and eSports in particular are going to be a big driving force" for it. That's understandable, given the momentum they give Twitch.

Twitching nervously.

Good news in terms of some healthy competition, might shake up the revenue share a bit to have another major player on the scene.

I thought there already was a YouTube live anyway, I looked at it sometime ago but I think it was only available to some rather than the whole public. It differed a bit too as it allowed for cameras from different places to live stream to a single channel offering different camera views.
