tl;dr version:

I'm looking for people who stream SC2 on Twitch.tv. I want to interview these people for an academic paper in which I'm focusing on the impact that live streaming in general, and Twitch in specific, have made on game culture(s) in the past few years. If you're at least a semi-active streamer, or you have previous experience from streaming, then drop a message here and I will contact you with further details.

Dear TL.net community,

I'm a student at the University of Maastricht, the Netherlands. As the final thesis for my studies in Media Culture I'm writing an academic paper on the impact(s) that live streaming and Twitch.tv have had on game culture(s) in the past few years.

I'm looking for people who are currently streaming SC2 related video content on Twitch.tv, or that have previous experience from streaming. The purpose is to interview streamers for about 30-45 minutes regarding their streaming and gaming activities, and to question if streaming has directly or indirectly promoted a form of 'professionalization' of video gaming.

In specific, the idea is that while people stream their gaming activities, players have not only become professionalized producers of digital media (as opposed to consumers), but also that by live streaming their game-play, players have been able to turn their gaming (commonly seen as a waste of time and energy) into an actual job. In this sense, the kind of professionalization of gaming that can be witnessed in the case of eSports has been used as a reference point (...just to give you an idea what I'm talking about).

Thus far I've been able to interview names such as RotterdaM and Winter for my research paper, alongside with few others, but I'm still especially looking for people who are in the process of becoming well-established SC2 live streamers.

So, if you're a streamer and you feel like contributing, then drop me a note here and I'll contact you with further details. Apart from that, I can say that the interviews will be done through Skype audio-calls, and the discussions will also be recorded for transcription purposes. You may remain anonymous. The results of the research will not be published in any other context than in my research paper. What will be the end-result of that paper, it's simply too early to say anything yet...

P.S.

I hope I didn't break any TL.net rules with this post. I'm aware that TL.net does not really support the idea of using their site as a data gathering tool for 'homework'. However, as this paper is a bit more than a mere 'homework', I dared to at least give it a try. But if this is not 'ok', then please accept my sincerest apologies and simply remove this post altogether.

edit: some grammar issues...

Hi!
A student at EMLYON Business School, in France, I'm writing my master's thesis about eSports.

There is a part about streaming in my paper, and I'm also looking for information from professional streamers. So if you'd like to exchange some info with me, I'd be glad to help!

So here's what I can say right now:
1- Also looking for streamers to interview. So imaybe we could share transcripts, or streamers here, if you want to do two interviews, feel free to do so!
2- Streamers, if you want a bit of international coverage, let it be known that I translate all my interviews transcripts into French.
3- Crit, I'm trying to get in touch with Pomf&Thud who are the n°1 French SC2 casters, so if I do get the interview and if you're interested, I can translate the transcript to English and send it to you =) Also, I have some articles about streaming in my references if you want them.
