我要评论Overwatch, World of Warcraft and Hearthstone players will soon be able to stream their matches via Facebook Live, thanks to budding relationship between the social network and game developer and publisher Blizzard Entertainment.
Blizzard titles will start rolling out a "Go Live" functionality built into each title, for fans to post their games directly to their Timeline.

Players will soon be able to use their Facebook accounts to log in to Blizzard's games. Players could use this in place of Battle.net, Blizzard's account system.
Blizzard is the first game creator to add Facebook Live integration, as the new streaming platform hasn't been embraced yet by gamers. It's a puzzling partnership, as Twitch, purchased by Amazon in 2014, is the de facto streaming platform for gaming, followed by YouTube, HitBox, Azubu and other services. But Facebook could be looking to strike big in gaming with Live, just like its attempting in other areas. (Media companies, including Mashable, are receiving payments from Facebook to create content for Live.)
The companies said the Facebook integration would happen "later this month" on Blizzard games, with the Live API coming sometime after.
