Yes, you need to send in a picture ID of sort like a drivers license. Not sure about the specifics since I haven't done it myself. New SOSPA ranking guys, not much has changed ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Ti0Jl.png) | ||

I've contacted afreeca multiple times providing passports, drivers licences and my alien registration card. I still can't chat. You need dna test, please do not forget that you need to fill a special application to the STM Korean Government, also to prevent any terrorist attack you need to register to the special korean homeland security agency known as KHSA, there you will have to pass some IQ test, they will also put a probe under your skin. After all that just create an account on Afreeca, plug and play. If this wasn't helpful i really don't know what could be :/ .... | ||

+ Show Spoiler + First off, go to the website afreeca.com. Making an account is recommended, but not necessary. Click on the circle highlighted to launch the web player. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/2P3bC.png) If this is your first time, say yes to downloading the program/plugin. During the installation, you can uncheck everything since spam is bad. 2. The web player itself: An explanation + Show Spoiler + The image should be self-explanatory ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DLWst.png) You can customize it by clicking on the top rightmost button, which I forgot to highlight. That, in itself, should be self-explanatory too. 3a. Finding a game to watch: Category Method + Show Spoiler + First, click on the highlighted button, 게임. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tuGcP.png) Once selected, it should roll down even more options. You want to click on the one I have highlighted, 스타. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AHw3y.png) And there we go, all the Starcraft streams. 3b. Finding a game to watch: Search Method. + Show Spoiler + Find the search bar, highlighted in the picture. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/O92cV.png) With this method, you can be more specific with your search. Type in whatever. In this case, I plugged in Sonic's Afreeca ID "sogoodtt". Some other popular streams are "h78rt" (Killer) "aiseiteru99" (Hiya) "cksgmldbs" (Mong), etc etc. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Uks7v.png) If you typed it in correctly and they're online, you should get a result like this. Notice how of the 3 results, there's one w/ a different view count. That's a "Relay Room", which is created when a broadcaster's room is full. You can use this search method to find a broadcaster's relay room when their main room is full. 4. Watching the Broadcast - Options + Show Spoiler + So you wanna watch the broadcast, but you don't know what to click. There are three different things you can click ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xp2Ou.png) Clicking on the image to the left will initiate the broadcast. Once you click on it, the Broadcast window should go black and start loading. Ads need to load before you can watch a stream, and it can take a looooooooooong time to load. Make sure you have ad-block turned off. The two buttons highlighted on the bottom do two different things. The left button will take you to the BJ's home page. The right button will give you 3 more options: -Top button is "Pop-up" which spawns another Afreeca player, with less options. -Second button is PIP, which spawns another broadcast within the broadcast you are already watching. Broadcastception -Third button is "Mini-Mode", which is pretty much the same thing as the pop-up player .. 5. The Broadcast itself - Supporting the Broadcaster via "Recommend" + Show Spoiler + I feel this particular tidbit deserves a section by itself, because this is the best way one can support. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xNHNV.png) The "Recommend" button is the one highlighted in the picture. You can give it to each BJ once a day. If your popup blocker is off, then it will pop up a window giving you the option to post on the broadcaster's msg board (you can't anyways lol). Doing this on a regular basis will increase the broadcaster's ranking, and exposure. If you want to support, but don't have money to give, this is the best way to do it. 6. The Broadcast itself - stuff explained + Show Spoiler + There are numbers top-left of each thing that I will explain ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RqJrs.png) 1 - Logout 2 - Toggles chat box on and off 3 - Toggles Broadcast list on and off 4 - Title of the broadcast 5 - BJ's Afreeca ID 6 - Information about the Broadcast, comes up if you move your mouse over the stream. In the order, its: -Views by PC, Mobile, Relay Room, and total viewers that watched since it started. -Then it the 2000k is the quality. -Then it shows the resolution of the Broadcast. -And finally, it shows which date the broadcast was started, and for how long it's been running 7 - Aspect ratio options 8 - Stop player 9 - Sound Control 10 - Give Balloons (money required) 11 - Give Stickers (Money required) 12 - Give Recommend (Boosts ranking, no money required) 13 - Add to bookmarks/favorites 14 - Previously seen Broadcast history 15 - Users who are viewer, sorted by ID and then their nickname 16 - Chat room 17 - chat box 7. Managing the Bookmarks + Show Spoiler + On the "Broadcast List" box, you notice there's a second tab "즐겨찾기" That's your bookmarks/favorites list ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/aynsV.png) It'll show all your favorites that are online, and the offline ones too. The button by the Refresh button top right, "목록편집" will toggle the ability to delete streams from your favorites. To delete, click on the grey circle w/ an x in it on the top right of the stream preview image. 8. A few things to note + Show Spoiler + Afreeca is a P2P based connection system, instead of a server-based. The more viewers there are, the more chatting there's going on, the further away you are from Korea, the laggier your stream is gonna be. Unless you have a fucken boss internet, lag will be unavoidable w/ the more popular streams. Prime time Afreeca is night-late night at Korea. There are some BJs who leave a restream on 24/7 or play/stream at weird hours, but most of them don't stream until that time. If you wanna chat and stuff, you have to verify yourself by sending an ID to Afreeca. I haven't bothered doing this myself, so I don't know all the details | ||

In your bookmarks tab, they made it so you can toggle the "delete stream from your bookmarks" option, via the button on the top right by the refresh button. | ||

I have unfortunate news that a regular SoPL season like Sonic had envisioned for the near future, has been cancelled. The reason being is that 3 out of the 7 teams had dropped due to various reasons. It wasn't stated why, but I assume it has to do with some of the "Ace players" leaving, or soon to be leaving (Pusan, Terror, etc). With only 4 SoPL teams, it seemed rather silly to try to pursue a regular-type season. For now, the whole idea has been put on hold. Hopefully, they'll still involve these remaining teams in some event matches/tournaments, or resurrect the league in the near future. But for now, no plans for SoPL. I have faith in Sonic. The first SSL was only a 100k won prize, and his company started off in a tiny dark room, with him buying only however many shoes he could personally afford. Given some time, he'll surely bring back the idea of a SOSPA Teamleague in full force Fighting!! | ||

In the meantime there's SSL and the event matches ya srsly like i mean he has his company to run, his life to manage, SSL to broadcast and the offline preparations every weekend. and on top of that he streams event matches almost every other day with 1~2 days off XD thats one super packed schedule for one guy.. | ||

I mean.. terror is banned from afreeca (but for life?) and PuSan.. is.. retiring ? like completely ? ;(((( oh no.... ehh.. but I have faith on Sonic, he is an amazing org  go go SOSPA !!
