It's great to wake up and see an EU rebroadcast which I missed the previous evening. | ||

If we start seeing rebroadcasts of events which ended weeks or months ago, however, I could see myself get excited upon seeing an unexpected MLG or whatever, only to be let down when I realize how old it is. | ||

Like another poster mentioned as long as the rebroadcast is of an event in the last 24/48 hours and not week or month ago, I don't really see a major problem with it. Just helping out people in other timezones. | ||

Also I've always thought that VODs were the future of rebroadcasts, so that doesn't make any sense, feels like we're devolving here. | ||

It's great to have a set event time on a rebroadcast because you either know when to tune in for the start to watch it all, or you can make an educated guess as to what kind of time a game you're interested in checking out might be aired. What is an issue is the rebroadcast event not being removed when the stream just starts looping over for a while after the initial broadcast ends, which leads to massive confusion for people tuning in at any old time after something has been shown multiple times already. Maybe rebroadcasts could be set as a special type of event with a required (nearest hour) run length based off their previous nights live cast. Then after that time has passed events are automatically removed from the tracker. It would ensure that after 1 run through events are actually removed from the big event broadcast list to avoid confusion etc#? | ||

I've lost count of how many times I've clicked an IPL link of a broadcast I've already seen. My interest in the "event" has waned due to the over-saturation and confusion. | ||

I agree with this point, but I think that a lot of this falls on IPL. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like they put all of the matches into a hat and come out with a handful of random ones to play for the day. There should be some continuity; even in the re-broadcasts. | ||

Agree. IPL always seems to have this problem where I can't tell who's playing, going to play, or what stage of the tournament they're in | ||

I would personally think anything that runs weekly or less to not be a big event except for the finals (assuming that said finals was big to begin with). Things like an MLG restream being listed I'd be fine with, but something like a NESL/IPL/GSL restream of some average low round game is just excessive. | ||

I tend to stay on top of the things I like, so mostly I don't need to watch re-broadcasts, but once in a while I do miss something and having the ability to see when it's on again would be awesome. On a tangentially related note, the BIG event tracker is wonderful! The only quibble I have is that it's not always kept up-to-date. For example, the GIGABYTE Stars-War event had no link to the VoDs, despite the VoDs being on the same page as the tournament thread itself. A minor annoyance at best, though. For ESPORTS! | ||

The IPL tends to rebroadcast everything all the time, so it's a bit excessive. IMO, for now, find an individual solution for IGN rebroadcasts. Don't let them spoil it for everyone else. If more rebroadcasts become a big problem, then take a broader approach to the problem. | ||

Can't see how TL should know how they plan their stuff, it's something the IPL production crew should sort out for itsself. Their way of broadcasting things is most peculiar however. | ||

WIth big leagues like NASL and IPL we have roughly 10 hour content each day for just this one special event. Also the re-broadcast is a little confusing esp. with IPL. Often I dont know in which round a match is. Is this an Important game or is it not? So I am currently thinking of IPL as some sort of showmatches at the moment. In addition to that it also messes with the EU weekly cup culture we have. Those weekly cups we have here on the EU servers are a REALLY REALLY good thing to have. Not only can we see EU's top players compete on a daily basis for our entertainment but it's also good to increase the player's skill level quite a bit because of this constantly competing enviroment. But with the listing of those re-broadcasts, not only the viewers but also the (mostly casual) player numbers go down quite a bit. Which means, that sponsors don't get that high numbers anymore and are thinking twice before they start to sponsor another weekly cup series. That decreases the prize pool, the amount of Pro's participating etc. etc. Where do we draw the line? Is it okay to re-broadcast Events as well that are beeing played on EU prime time 8 hours later for US prime time (and vice versa) )and justify this by not releasing the VODs? TL;DR Re-Broadcasts are fine, but should not be listed anymore. One offical event is enough. People who want to watch the rebroadcasts should watch them on the event's website. Listing of re-broadcasts are messing with other events too much. | ||

You know, have little option box [X] GSL Events [X] NASL [X] IPL [ ] IPL Restreams It would require quite a bit of work to get it up (and more to maintain it), but I think it would be a very nice addition. | ||

everytime you look at the tournament nav, you go "woah, ipl running!" only to be disappointed 5 secs later, when its the xx. rebroadcast of a game you have seen 2 times before. put that in the "featured streams"-list and its ok, but the tournament tab should be for things that are new. | ||

It is also listed under "ON AIR" which is completely untrue and false. This is one of the most annoying things with TL altogether. ON AIR should only list live things. If someone does want to watch a rebroadcast, why not just visit the site for it? | ||

Or just split ON AIR into two sections ON AIR and REBROADCAST(or similar), might be even color-coded on top of that. I would definitely prefer spatial differentiation over just color-based one. EDIT:typo | ||

Splitting ON AIR section to on air and rebroadcast sounds like good idea. | ||

Having regional rebroadcasts appear on the calendar is super useful. 99% of the criticism seems to come because of IPL. I don't think the mishandling of a single event is enough to shake up the whole system. That said, I suppose there's nothing wrong with a colour distinction for live events and rebroadcasts. | ||

Edit: 'Event' section should be live events (EU or other re-broadcast ok, since they're marked as such) 'Live' section should be currently running streams 'Rerun' section could be created for streams running old stuff | ||
