I just have noticed that I'm not getting quite as many viewers lately and I'm not sure why, I've gotten nothing but good feedback so I want to make sure people are aware of my stream. Maybe its because there are alot more streams now and beta has been out for a while (and I haven't been streaming all day every day like I was for the first week of beta due to other commitments) I definitely don't compare to some of the featured streams though. | ||

In SC2 I have no idea but I assume its mid tier and above platinum or ex top foreigner. Yeah, I wasn't great at brood war, I'm relatively new to the community, I've only been playing SC for about 8-9 months now, stream is verified and I've been top 20 platinum for the entire beta, and put up at least a decent fight against alot of the top players. (I've beaten david kim, louder, lunasky, etc., though admittedly they usually rape my face). I'm just wondering, because maybe some time down the road if I've been with TL.net longer and improve my rank some more I could look at such a thing. If not whatever, I'm not super worried about it  . | ||

It would be nice, but I would certainly be much less deserving than the overwhelming majority of featured streamers. I'm just wondering, as it might be something I become interested in accomplishing at some point down the road. | ||

Hello protoss player. I want to play a game. you have always taken your powerful race for granted, whined about zergs flexibility, cried about terrans unstoppable rushes. Today you will experience, truly experience, what despair is. You shall play as terran, against protoss. If you wish to cling to your mentality that protoss is weaker, you...will...die. If you wish to prevail, you must find the key, to your own races undoing. be warned, this protoss has an ELO of over 2300 You will play against smuft and if you survive, only then will you truly appreciate the power of protoss. Good luck | ||

- Nony doesn't count, because his stream was featured during BW and he just tagged [SC2] on the front. - PsyonicReaver (EG House) got featured because they famous, popular, and bound to be gosu, plus they stream all the time did anyone who was not known before SC2 get featured strictly for being "good" at SC2? | ||

Then make some attention whoring blogs to draw attention to the fact that you can win games. Then cool off for a bit while still continuing to make strat forum posts. Then ask. It's all about balancing respect for your skill with publicising your skill. | ||

How many divisions are we up to now? I think we've got 17 on europe but from what I've seen the newer divisions still have a low "point" average since most of their players got in the beta later. If someone's been playing the game from beta launch, he's likely in an early league and has high points. There aren't enough high ranked players streaming out there (or at least, not when I'm looking for a stream), and someone in the top 200 of his server is a "high ranked" player in my book. | ||

I think top 350-400 would be more accurate. | ||
