The Challenge
Professional esports requires latency below 16ms for competitive fairness. Their old infrastructure had variable latency (50-200ms), affecting gameplay and viewer experience. They needed consistent, ultra-low latency to support interactive features like real-time betting and instant replays.
The Solution
WAVE's OMT protocol (Optimized Media Transport) delivered <16ms latency globally. They integrated interactive betting, live stats, and instant replays—all synchronized with gameplay. The platform enabled 5M concurrent viewers with consistent performance.
