YOU DO realize that many of the NA matches are scheduled precisely at the same dates that IEM American Championships is scheduled, right? And several of the NA players will be attending the IEM so... it seems there is a schedule conflict here??

Hey BigT just wondering if your going to co-cast some of the games. I think you should raise your voice when a battle is about to commence, people love that kind of stuff. Also Id like it if TL would feature your tourny games, this is starting to get a little ridiculous! Lets all get offended at BigT`s pottly mouth lol.

I keep seeing this argument over and over.

The tournament games he casts are featured by default, since he attaches his name to the event and is pulled to the top of the list. His tournament casts deserve to be featured because he puts so much effort into casting huge amounts of games.

However, it is my opinion, and the TL staff's opinion, that BigT's stream of him playing isn't high quality enough to be featured. The commentary and gameplay both leave something to be desired. His playing stream does not deserve to be featured.

So, the current situation is the best of both worlds. He is autofeatured when he casts an event, and not featured when he streams his own games. The logic is clear. I'm not sure how it's ridiculous at all. Implying that his stream should be permanently featured because of his tournament casting, when a significant amount of time he is streaming himself playing, is actually ridiculous in my eyes.

but when we were talking about orb shouldnt deserve to be streamed cause many thought he was a bad player, but then u said he is featured because he has alot of viewers

imo a laddering player whos streaming with high quality and talking meanwhile, and such a big name as bigt (lol just got the pun in my own sentence here after reading it, im so clever i dont even know about it xd) should be featured even if hes not a great player. thats like me starting to play zerg and stream you would autofeature me even tho my zerg sucks, but because im a "famous" player and brings in viewers u would let me be featured. this goes for orb and everyone ive seen on the features, so why shouldnt this apply to bigt aswell?
(im not gonna start stream me as a zerg, it was just an example)

ive seen esl main streams play luls games while being featured when they were playing themselves, and let me say they were nowhere near 1.4k. but it had alot of viewers and ppl had alot of fun so they are featured because of their casting, and they can stay featured while having fun aswell because it would be quite harsh to unfeature official esl streams just because they ladder once in a while while streaming... while

Well since you brought it up, other casters get this luxury... Many featured streamers are only casters and are no where near the top level (not directing this at you). At least I'm a 1400 protoss who beats top players. So I think it's silly that other casters get that luxury and I don't when I put in so much effort, cast so many tournaments, and help out the community in every way that I can.

EDIT: PS even though the tournament is on the calender, I still never get a star next to my stream, "featured" on the top of the sc2 page stream list, or a VOD preview on the stream page. So even by saying it's fair the way it is right now, its really no where near the same.

You see it as additive: You do good commentary and mediocre (by my opinion) gaming and the result is A + b
I see it as averaging. You do good commentary and mediocre gaming and the result is (A + b)/t.

Therefore, by my opinion, streaming mediocre play is bringing your quality down rather than raising it. If you disagree, it's just a difference of opinion between what we expect from featured streams.
