i wish there was some more oganisation in the bar in terms of what the people are casting. I was looking through for games to watch and trying to figure out what they;re actually casting is tough. I wouldn't say theres "too many" tho, nothing quite like being spoiled for choice. Its completely up to the streamer themselves to decide how much they're getting out of streaming if they only have like 6 viewers or whatever.

I know when i stream i do it for that feeling of accountability in my game, like if i fuck something up and someone is watching, i feel worse than if i'm not streaming, and as a result i play better. I just wish i could stream without my computer lagging D: time to upgrade

What's there to complain about? Don't click "show non-featured" if it bothers you...

Half of the streamers forget to set their stream to offline on TL anyways.

yeah, this is madness. I think I'm gonna start streaming BW for a change.

A way to sort them would be cool. Z/T/P/2v2/custom games/casting or something.

I watch featured streams 99% of the time, so it doesn't bother me.

Yeah. It's a lot.

It'll start cutting down when people start realizing they're not getting that many views. With that many streams, eh...not gonna get that much coverage for some of the less known non-featured streamers.

Yes, it IS too much.

Now if they were BW streams, it'd be whole different story ^^

Why complain about something that's not a problem?

It is in no way just you...

this may be the incentive needed for me to sort my shit out and get a bw stream running... or I might just procrastinate more, who knows?

This for sure. I think people end up having to sift through a bunch of streams before getting what they want, this would organize it so it's nicer for the eyes and also functionality wise.

We only need a color code for league & race played. That would be awesome.

A good upgrade for the TL stream / featured stream feature would be listing what is streamed.

Perhaps give the streamers checkboxes/dialogue boxes to check to display on the sidebar what is going on.

Zerg/Terran/Protoss
Copper/Silver/Gold/Platinum/Diamond
1v1/2v2/3v3/4v4/FFA/Custom
Live/Replay
Commentated/Uncommentated (and possibly language if commentated in a language other than english).

Most/all of these can be displayed with tiny icons (and text color for race), so as to not be overwhelming on the sidebar.
