Twitch shutting down in Korea will most likely not stop Riot Games to keep hosting the World Championship in Korea.

Also, from what I understand, Twitch is marginal in Korea, since they have their own alternative streaming platforms.

I'm sorry this is irrelevant to the current discussion, but you replied to one of my comments a couple weeks ago, and I can't reply there, so I'm leaving a response here.

This is incorrect, Twitch has been very popular in Korea.

Do you know what's the audience share of AfreecaTV and Twitch in Korea? I can't find the information.

> 트위치는 지난 2017년 7월 국내 서비스를 시작해 지난해부터는 기존 1위 업체인 아프리카TV를 따라잡는 수준으로 점유율을 높였다. 빅데이터 플랫폼 '모바일 인덱스'에 따르면 올해 1월 기준 트위치의 국내 월간활성이용자(MAU)는 약 246만명으로 아프리카TV(230만명)보다 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Twitch 2.46 million, Afreeca 2.3 million.
