AMZN : Tencent focuses inward on game streaming after Huya/DouYu deal rejection - Bloomberg • 12:45 PM

After facing rejection of its machinations toward a key videogaming merger, Tencent Holdings (TCEHY -0.4%) is moving its resources back toward its own game streaming approach, Bloomberg reports.
China blocked Huya's (HUYA +0.3%) planned $6 billion acquisition of DouYu (DOYU +3.4%) - another in a line of antitrust crackdowns in the country.
The deal would have combined two videogame-streaming leaders into a Chinese streaming forerunner like Amazon's (AMZN +0.9%) Twitch - with Tencent in a catbird seat (It's the biggest shareholder in Huya, and owns about a third of DouYu).
But now Tencent has disbanded the team working with Huya and DouYu, and built a new team for product design/operations at its Penguin Esports streaming app, according to the report. That new group will be led by Huya Chairman Huang Lingdong, with Tencent's League of Legends esports league chief Bobby Jin as second in command.
Penguin Esports had been set to be moved to the Huya/DouYu combination for $500 million.
