At the TwitchCon the attendees saw the game called Breakaway which seemed pretty cool. It is a 4v4 mythological sport brawler that is built for fast action, live streaming and team work.

A feature in Twitch called Metastream lets player customize their broadcasts with real time stat overlay. The broadcasters can use any web authoring tool to custom create HTML5 pages which control information, layout and behavior of the overlay that they use. Broadcaster Match Builder lets users invite fans to see their matches. Spotlight broadcast tells them when they are in a match being broadcasted . It also allows them to follow broadcasters with just a click.
These integrations sounds pretty amazing coupled with real-time broadcasting. Breakaway also has sick graphics.
