Cast replays if lag?

Why would you call lag at the exact moment you're getting utterly ass-raped, instead of say, at the beginning of the game?

Artosis is explaining that someone told him the fact that there are too many users on his Mogulus stream is what is causing the game to lag - isn't this total bullshit? The load for serving the stream to users is on Mogulus, not Artosis's computer, right? I mean, Artosis merely provides the video feed to Mogulus for distribution to viewers of the stream - he's not actually directly connected to each user on the Mogulus stream.

And furthermore, Artosis is on some sort of monstrous computer. If ret or Chill can stream to 300+ viewers without a problem, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to.

Yup.

Either Procaster lagged Artosis's comp (unlikely) or it wasn't stream-related at all.

actually, i thnk it might cause the lag, since these comps are cabled and the moguls might take all of artosis' bitrate on uploading, hence making him lag with lan-sc.. not so much the pcu part but lan issue.. but i'm not sure, just guessing..

It was rather curious really. We had roughly the same amount of people for White-Ra/Tossgirl and the GAME didn't lag the stream just did.

Very confusing frankly that and Artosis is on a super comp apparently.

Yea, thats what I thought too, regardless of users, he still uploads the same. Did it look like the game was lagging Artosis? Sort of hard to tell from the limited quality stream, but looked pretty smooth *shrug*. But yea, could do it liquibition style and cast reps.

I agree that the fact that Artosis is streaming might be the cause for the lag (though it's unlikely, given how powerful his computer is) but what I'm calling bullshit on is the following explanation: "Artosis is causing lag because there are too many people connected to his Mogulus stream".

This explanation is BS because streaming costs Artosis's computer the same amount of processing power and bandwidth regardless of how many users are connected.

The thing is Artosis only uploads once to mogulus, and mogulus does the work to upload to the rest of users.

If anything is lagging pretty safe bet it's not artosis stream so i call bullshit. =/

Good they let him back for second game.

Yeah, this is exactly what I'm saying.

the amount of viewers shouldnt have an effect on the game quality but im guessing multiple streams with all the comps using a single connection might have an effect on the lag (im guessing the other obs are also streaming which can kill his upload rate)

IdrA is using 2-fact tank goliath, the same build he used to destroy Super on Destination in their series.

Unfortunately, Tossgirl is countering perfectly - I wonder if she watched the IdrA-Super series? If so, you have to question IdrA's choice to use this build again.

I just can't say it enough: Artosis, your casting is absurdly enjoyable. I have never enjoyed TvT this much, and have no doubt it's because of your cast.

Seriously thanks for this first-rate coverage (maybe I should just send a PM
