Yeah, the situation is like that. Don't you think that it's too much, or is it just me.

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.

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.

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.

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.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

I'd like to see it color-coded by league with the little race icons beside each stream. I guess with a choice of a 'commentator' icon, too.

Who cares, if people want to stream to 2-3 people then let them. I only watch about 4 different streams because most of them are crap.

I honestly don't think it's a lot, given the huge community of TL. Even though I don't watch any of them, it's actually nice to see that a site like this has this many streams ^_^

yeah theres too many sc2 streams, considering brood war is a better game

sc2 players, if you're pretty bad at the game, don't bother streaming for us
practically nobody will watch it

bw players, if you're pretty decent and at least fun to watch, stream it for us
a load of people will watch it

How can there even be too many streams?

Is there a cap I'm unaware of?

EDIT: Come on guys, why the SC2 hate, stop being butthurt already.

Apparently from what I understand, there are these streams right and there is a certain population that is annoyed because of it, despite them not even watching it or affecting their personal welfare in any way.

Streaming is not a zero-sum game...

The same thing is happening in the casting world as well. There is an absolute flood of new people trying to break into the scene, though it seems like a lot of them may drop out as they get bored of casting/streaming due to not having thousands of subscribers. I'll admit, I'm one from both the casting and streaming influx, though I did start in beta, I'm just going to patiently wait for Chill to add more streams and hope mine fairs well. I had 3 viewers one night.

Is that a bad thing? Having selection and finding something you are interested in watching? It's like complaining that you get just too many channels on TV and you wish you only had basic cable.

Yea, I think it's getting harder than ever to break yourself away from the pack. I added 50 streams today, so look forward to more streams... O_O

As with the case of all web selection problems which surpass a critical number,
TL could implement a blog style star system which shows up in the user streams link. It could be mod only if there are quality concerns.
Then you also have the options to sort by rating, or changing the intensity of the font to reflect the rating.

It's not too many SC2 streams, there is too few bw streams! I was surprised that there were 20+ viewers on my bw stream O.o

Just wish there was a better way to get events added. Right now when I want to get an event I have to PM Bro0d, Plexa, and Sonuvbob to try and get it added. And if you don't show as streaming X event (ESL, Gosucoaching, ITL, etc) most people just assume your streaming random shit.

Maybe a way where the community can add events and vote shitty ones off, idk, something to help the mods out.

But I don't think there is too many streams. Than again I can't remember the last time I hit "show X featured" button so that might be it.
