First person viewing:
I cannot figure out why this wasn't mentioned in more recaps, but for me, the 100% most awesome viewing experience was watching the Koreans play on the second stage at MLG. When else would I ever get a chance to, in a competitive format, watch some of the top players in the world actually play a game, see what they see and do during the entire game.
I see why many players might not enjoy it, but watching MMA dismantle July FPV was one of the highlights of the entire event for me. This is obviously not a "mainstream" viewing experience as you need to have a pretty good idea of what's going on and a lot of experience playing/watching sc2 to even follow what's going on.
I love casted / observed games, but go to MLG Aneheim and watch these amazing players play first person, it was such an awesome experience for me, completely different than watching a stream.

This actually brings up a great point... I would love love love to have the option of multiple streams maybe 1 normal with casters and 2 FPV of both players... Would all the ad revenue and viewership numbers be massively affected if the masses were split amongst different streams?

During MLG Dallas in 2010 They had an over the shoulder shot of Tyler playing Painuser and it was incredibly awesome, there wasn't any casting or anything. Just over the shoulder you could see his hands and watch his screen as he was playing Painuser. If they did a split screen like that for both opponents that could be pretty awesome.

i see why you would want that, but honestly you can just get the replays (at least for mlg). its another thing to stand behind a person and watch him play.
i dont think it should have top priority and as long as i can have replays i dont need it live

I think the screen image would work fine if there was somekind of modification of the mouse cursor to make it easier to see so that you could better see what they're doing. Also, if the FPS lags at all you can miss a lot (which I feel like I do on user streams).
