If the streaming of ASL is a lag free experience for the foreigners I think nobody will have problems with it being on afreeca. But this is a very important issue, it has to be lag free with good quality. When it comes to you not wanting to share viewers with twitch it is understandable. But very sad for the growing of the e-sports outside Korea, because like Ret said it exposes brood war to an audience that normally doesn't watch or even know it exists. Also, if your biggest streamers were also streaming on twitch, SC:R would be high on the list of games, and even more people would notice and watch our game. It could be the top 5-10 streamed game in the world with 20-30k viewers. So, if you guys have enough ymoney to feed your families, please reconsider and let it be streamed on twitch - for the love and future of our game. If you need money to survive I understand you can't share viewers with twitch though. | ||

FlashFTW and I will still be streaming the ENG2 channel again on Afreeca, and we hope you'll still watch and enjoy the games. Hopefully all of this patches up by next season so we can get a more global audience watching....

From a business perspective, it seems they are committed to their revenue streams and can't bend for Twitch/YouTube. But then, I feel like the foreign scene contributes a significant amount of the total population of eyes on BW. Even if we compose 20%, that still is limiting exposure. Maybe it is just super simple and they will stick to their best interest. Maybe we can work things out by ASL5. On another note, will anyone restream via YouTube? Only people who want to get banned from YouTube :D EDIT: If you have trouble watching Afreeca, I suggest visiting this thread. Pheer also put together a portable version that you can just download and start up. Everyone's computer is a bit different and may experience slightly different problems, but if you can get this working, it's really easy to watch BW through VLC player. | ||

Unfortunately ASL on twitch did a great job displaying BW to an audience who does not usually watch BW, and even perhaps a lot of people who have never watched BW or have no connection at all to the game (SC2 fans for example). I think us dedicated fans of BW you find here on TL.net will do everything within their power to watch your tournament, so re-streaming ASL to VLC or watching on afreeca wont be an issue for most of us, but I fear it's terrible news for the western bw world and it's potential growth. Having your game being high rank on twitch will naturally make more people check it out, and ASL did a great job of that. Couldn't have said it better myself. Well said. I also usually watched ASL live thru the twitch app and VOD's thru YouTube on my Xbox, and there is no Afreeca app on there. Will have to settle for watching on my tablet. | ||

The changes will hopefully work out, if Afreeca goes with a major global CDN, it could fix a lot of previous lag issues for other viewers. Losing a major advertising (i.e. promoting BW) opportunity via Twitch is a shame though, especially considering this will be the biggest prize pool in BW history? Hopefully some agreement can be reached for ASL5 and beyond. | ||

Until then, I'll watch it on Afreeca. Even now before the mentioned CDN change I have little to no issues watching any number of Afreeca streams on medium quality. Thanks for all your hard work you're putting into BW. | ||

You can do html5 on afreeca but in my experience its is way less stable than  Flash | ||

Thanks for all your hard work you're putting into BW. but buy hmm what ? twitch is a free service to stream,is up to afreeca to stream their tournament there.Why will twitch pay afreeca to they stream in their own twitch channel (the GSL one) their tournament and give the twitch community viewers .ok thats a f*cking chaos hope someone understand what im trying to say. I can see blizzard interested in paying Afreeca to stream on twitch,that makes sense. | ||
