It's really neat to hear about some of the TL infrastructure, I'd like to see more interviews with TL staff who don't get enough credit for their behind the scenes work. | ||

At the time of writing there are 397 points separating rank #25 from rank #48. Each loss at A- to another A- subtracts 130 points from your ladder score (and even more if you lose to someone lower than you). So if you are between ranks #25-48 and you lose four games in a row you will drop out of the TSL. In fact, ranks #40-48 are one loss away from dropping out of the top 48. At the time of writing ranks #49-60 are one win away from entering into the top 48. Anyway you look at it, it’s getting really tight at the top. As soon as you enter the A ranks (including A-) you lose 140 for every loss at EQUAL rank, not 130. The difference is pretty big because you can mass game your way into A- if you try hard enough, however you can't mass game your way out of it. Going 50% over the course of 20 games gives you -200 points as opposed to an even score. | ||

Livestream is alright for casual broadcasting, but when you're doing a serious tournament with lots of prizes and viewers expected it really is worth the extra effort to use a TL hosted stream.Also if its not too much trouble, I would be interested ti know why TL isn't using livestream.com for the TSL instead of wasting money on more servers? Are you guys aiming for really high quality streams that LS can't support? | ||

Are you guys aiming for really high quality streams that LS can't support? Livestream charges $350/mo and $1.50 per GB for a premium stream, running our own servers would be a tenth of that. Due to the sponsorship Livestream would probably consider us using the free streaming to be a TOS violation, and I really don't think they would be happy with a few thousand people leeching their bandwidth every broadcast. Plus it looks bad to have advertisements popping up mid-stream. | ||
