Doesn't matters, SC2 has crap graphics anyways.
Just a guy trying to enjoy living in the worst timeline and failing miserably since 1990.

:/ I think the player should use some options, but mostly I voted medium(720) because thats the best comprimise between people who can watch things in really high quality, and those who can't.
I aim to become a hydralisk and then stop posting, cause I don't wanna be a queen...

10mbits per second is like the fastest connection available for my house, which doesn't like 720p streams

i really don't care about the quality. its whats actually streaming that matters with me. though to be fair, i record everything in low quality, at 720, but mostly because my video card sucks more than anything. if i could, i'd record at medium with a few things off, such as shadows or a few lighting effects instead.

480p and I have to wait for a while. My net speed is 60kbps. Yes. It's that bad.

tbh this is 2 seperate things:

when live obviously lag is a big issue but on demand like youtube, who cares just leave it for a minute or two.

voted med/med because encoding's a bitch

High. Still looks good, while remaining optimal for viewing.

I like low because my internet connection is slow even though I have the best available to me. I like how youtube lets viewers choose their quality and wished it was the same with streams so viewers with better speeds could get their good quality while I could still watch.

Any chance of HD + low details ? That would be totally fine by me.

live - standard or low (under 100kbps) cuz of crappy adsl
vod - 720/high since there is no downloading speed issue but my monitor isn't 1080p

720p is the best you can get at Youtube, unless you watch on full screen. My computer supports 1440p and beyond, but even 1080p is overkill. But that's just me, since I really don't use Youtube full screen mode.

Streams... I can't say I'm a fan. I rarely watch live SC because of the ads and choppy video/buffering even with a good internet connection.

High is nice
Ultra sometimes slows it down... Medium is second best imo!
