UK gaming and esports organisation Endpoint has partnered with TikTok to launch Endpoint Live, a new creator network designed to help live streamers grow their audience and strengthen monetisation. As part of the Endpoint Live creator community, creators can keep 100% of the revenue earned on TikTok LIVE and gain access to guidance and growth opportunities. This includes one-on-one creator management, quarterly networking events, and brand activations. The initiative is divided into three tiers, providing additional benefits for committed members with a larger, more established following.
Endpoint's Co-owner and COO Peter Thompson stated, "This platform is designed to empower creators by providing them with the tools, resources, and support needed to thrive on TikTok LIVE and as a creator." The organisation's existing creator team has already joined the new network, and Endpoint has signed a group of Rocket League streamers to broadcast and compete in the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS). Creators of all sizes and experience levels are eligible to join as long as they are at least 18 years old and committed to streaming for at least 15 hours per month.
