Esports broadcasting operates on a completely different grammar from traditional sports broadcasting. This is because the proportion of footage captured by cameras focusing on in-game screens is overwhelmingly higher than that of actual players. This is where the role of dedicated broadcasting personnel, known as "observers," becomes crucial. Observers must identify the most critical moments amidst the numerous engagements taking place within the game in real-time and capture them on screen. This is akin to simultaneously performing the roles of both a producer and a camera director in a soccer broadcast. Esports broadcasting is optimized for the digital environment, resulting in much smoother real-time data integration. Players' item holdings, skill cooldowns, and current gold differences are displayed as real-time numerical values on the broadcast screen via APIs. Furthermore, through integration with streaming platforms (such as Twitch and AfreecaTV), viewer feedback is projected onto the broadcast in real-time. Viewer chats and donations appear on the screen, allowing commentators to engage in immediate communication while observing them. This "interactivity" is a powerful weapon unique to esports broadcasting. Recently, esports broadcasting is leading visual innovation by utilizing virtual studio technology to create the illusion that commentators are inside game maps, or by using AR technology to bring in-game characters into the studio. Conversely, esports broadcasting technology is now inspiring traditional sports broadcasting and establishing itself as the standard broadcasting grammar for targeting the MZ generation. Black TV
