Being the Super Admin of TV I oversee our YouTube channel and its content. I am never satisfied with the way our content is presented and so we again have yet another rendition of this. I am wondering your opinions and thoughts of this overlay. Thanks much for your feedback I've tried to incorporate just enough information so it isn't too overbearing. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong.

Unfortunately I no longer have the font at the time of the screen shot, would anyone know of a good font?

The overlay looks fine. I can't understand why anybody would want to watch a game with BWAPI turned on though.

there has been discussion, due to the nature of the zooming out we will turn off the health bars

Yeah HP bars look bad, and the timer is pretty blocky so if you can get a nicer resolution one it'd be nice. Other than "GSL Daybreak LE" I'd say it's looking nice; however the quality of the screenshot looks bad. What did you use to capture it/upload it? I find the TL.net imgur uploader destroys the quality, and OBS broodwar capture blurs the screen.

I share Sayle's sentiment. Overlay looks great though, and with health bars turned off it might be more watchable for me.
Often I feel like excessive clutter on the screen is the biggest graphical turn-off for me, this overlay however looks very sleek and doesn't detract from the actual game being played.

This is the first overlay (together with the TLS one ofc which is amazing) that I see working quite well. My minor issues with it: 1. The zoomed timer thing doesn't look good.
2. The second iccup logo in the background seems excessive and distracting.

I still prefer the normal size 4x3 because imo it makes the cast more dynamic and dramatic. You just don't get the same feeling watching the screen jump from one enemy line to the other as they engage in this zoomed out 16x9, where the camera is mostly static and we can clearly see the whole battle and often guess the outcome just based upon that. and I don't think this has anything to do with nostalgia. just saying, but yeah sweet job.

If there is a fix for the blocky timer that would be great, but from my standpoint it is simplest and easier way is just to grab the clock from the games UI. I can't understand why it would it would cause an issue if its pixelated as the whole game is!

It's ugly because it's blurred, so I guess it's actually an overload of pixels rather than the opposite. I don't think time in BW is important enough for you to cut corners to get it to show there.

What would you do in my position to remedy this issue? I really have no idea how to fix

Use APMAlert and position the game clock somewhere that is useful to you. It uses the biggest (or second biggest?) game font, so it would look a lot better. You won't be able to position it over the bottom menu due to how the game draws that area, but if you leave it behind one of the overlay pieces (such as the one at the top) you can capture it the same way you're already capturing the other clock.
