Not abusing power is cool, but stagnation isn't. Yeah this, they don't abuse anything they don't mess anything up. They are just very slow at bringing out updated twitch player etc. They afaik (reddit was source for this) had 1 person coding the HTML5 player which they are going to replace flash player twitch with, which afaik is still not happened yet. What they do with their staff i do not know but atm it still hybrid flash and html player which is poor considering they should have jumped to that change ages ago. I'm pretty sure the HTML5 player has been literal years in the making. VODs are still a dumpster fire. Something like a DVR system would be cool, I think 2GD suggested that years ago but nothing has happened. The frontpage is a joke, the website sucks for discovery, viewbotting is actually rewarded, they apply ToS rules completely arbitrarily. I really do like Twitch I just wish they had a fire under their ass and were looking to keep pushing the envelope innovation wise.
Yeah couldn't agree more. HTML5 is a start for me i'd take that, the player itself in terms of theatre mode is the best out there though that is for sure. Azubu tried something similar but it just doesn't scale properly.

The scaling may be a Flash feature though.

But to me it does not appear like Twitch are abusing their monopoly to a degree where viewers suffer, so I dont think theres room for competition until they start forcing us off adblockers or the like A significantly better alternative would be jumped to almost instantly, but now that Twitch is part of Amazon, it is unlikely someone would throw enough money at it. Google, these days, eats up companies for Tech/Patents, but generally can't do anything useful with copy-cat ideas. Google+, anyone? That tech they eat, is them controlling information in the information traffic highlanes. As much as you think Google+ is a non-factor, it is still all the information stored from posting on YT for instance, which they also own.
YTs servers will bring the stability of streaming services that Twitch doesn't supply.

This Drow seems like an odd pick

crazy plays by newbee/crazy throws by VG

Is there any way to watch the vod's of previous matchs? Didnt catch the first ones broadcast
|
Yikes, that turned bad fast for VG. If they couldn't handle vac/wall into echo slam when lycan is down, they should have been more careful around those two when lycan is up
|
Yep. Fenrir can't play Earth Spirit at all

Above chat on Azubu is a button for VODs, whether it works or not I have no idea.

It's not current but maybe it'll get updates quickly.

On the Twitch player. The video itself is still Flash, but all of the controls are HTML5. Per a post I from Twitch I came across when looking up DingIt information.

If they can stop the bleeding, I'm hoping VG can take this in the late game.

Unless something changed that's correct. Its supposed to be full HTML5 at some point though.
