Off-topic, but how do you get your stream in the side-bar, even in the 'non-featured' drop-down section below? Are there specific requirements?

no; you just activate your stream in the settings of top left the antenna like emoticon thingy

Why are people acting like the OP is asking for Rain's stream to be removed from the site? I'm pretty sure he just meant to move him down to the "Other Games" section, which is more accurate for his stream.
Skill is relative.

I could not have less of an investment in anything to do with any part of this conversation, but I like the bolded as a solution

Britney should be moved to other games. He tops the viewer count in the bw stream listing but never streams it except in rare cases like the BW team league 2Pacalypse mentioned, but you could still show that in the live events section

With a extra streamer category, that little livestream-area
will show fewer names. It would get clickier and trickier to find what you seek.

A solution to this would be a small small change of the race icon that follows their name. Broodwar legends who now mainly stream other things can get a legend icon or something similar. Maybe a civilian or another neutral critter/unit. Is there a war veteran civilian unit in bw lore?(20 years, Still haven't playe the campaign).
When the mouse pointer rests on it it can show a little info on it.

If the top five streams are non-bw then change it. For now let em be part of the bw family.
Not my chair. Not my problem. That's what I say

What about Sea? I don't see him featured anymore. Has TL removed him from the sidebar, or has he stopped streaming on AfreecaTV?

I am not sure how TL's Live Streams list works but it seems to be either set by the player or dynamic.

Artosis players Brood War every Mon, Tue, Wed, and Fri. On Thurs he does The Pylon Show instead. When Artosis is playing Brood War he is listed in TL's Brood War steam list. However, when he does the Pylon show he is listed in TL's Starcraft 2 steam list instead.

I am not sure if this is related, but the TL Live Streams list can change without website administration.

Judging from posts above, I believe it is related to twitch having API to report the game 'played'. Afreeca either does not, or it's a pita to find.

As 2pac stated previously, the issue is more along the lines of TL having to manually update it constantly as it has to do with the API on Afreeca side of things, it is not a realistic thing to ask. It is also really not hard to not click one peoples streams that you know aren't regularly streaming StarCraft lol

Honestly I’ve felt the same many times over the years. Would be nice if Afreeca had an API for this =\

the fact that they're streaming on afreeca made this a good tool because it's hard to browse that website.
thing is, people use the sidebar to batch-check on streamers and for their bw/sc2 content specifically.


maybe i'm speaking personally on this, but when i click on a bw stream these days, i expect to open a stream to them looking at pictures, food, or another game. it doesn't particularly appeal because i don't understand the language and context, and that's fine. it's a different sort of streaming culture and a different sort of expectations.
however, unless we have knowledge on each individual streamer and their tendencies, it does take some time to find someone who is actually playing the video game that we want to watch, and that's nobody's fault.

it's still a good tool because it's much better than individually following and checking each player that you may or may not be aware of and maybe sometimes you are interested in their other content.

tl;dr
supporting them individually and for their other content is of a different volition than what the streamer bar is usually used for.
only suggestion i might have is maybe bolding players who we know focuses only on BW gameplay.

I think it's doable, but in a very icky and probably very fragile, unsupported way...

Using Rain as an example:

1. Get stream live info from
http://afbbs.afreecatv.com:8080/api/video/get_bj_liveinfo.php?szBjId=ioioiobb

From that, get the broadcast number from the thumbnail link (I'm not sure if there is a shortcut that gets you this directly).

2. Get the live info by POSTing that broadcast number
bno=227092237&type=live
to https://live.afreecatv.com/afreeca/player_live_api.php

From that, get the category from $.CHANNEL.CATE and look up the mapping which can be found in the source of the normal Afreeca player page (e.g. 00040001 is BW, 00040016 is SC2).

Currently Rain's stream returns 00360046 which is apparently a game called V4.

In the opinion of the Koreans, Rain and Britney will no longer play StarCraft.
They're mostly just playing StarCraft for a short while as some sort of event match on the stream.
He said he would like to do content other than StarCraft for his future, and although it is very difficult to explain, he was greatly disappointed by StarCraft fans. Similarly, he was absent from ASTL and ASL.
I don't think Rain will return to StarCraft.

I agree if he is not streaming bw he should be on the list.

TL's stream list could do with a hall of fame. Rain is just as legendary of a monster at SC2.
