We handle all the server stuff; it's actually pretty cheap compared to the prize money (Razer covers it, of course).

How do you count those live stream IPs? I personally don't have time to watch the live stream (just watching youtube vods from razer site).
How could I help? Should I just leave my computer on and go afk? Or should I make a script to refresh the razer site every so often to make sure my IP is counted?

You can help by getting more people to watch.

Pfff that's the easy part ^^

While I love Razer for sponsoring TSL, is ICCup even legal? Haven't Bnet clones always been a nono from Blizzard, even though they happen?
I just mention this because someone suggested advertising TSL on Battle.net.

I thought I read that Razer was covering the prize money plus everything dealing with the videostreaming. For the streaming, I meant just more than servers but also the intro/art/design/etc.

You know how awesome TSL is? Yesterday friends came over to my place, we ordered Pizza and enjoyed TSL together :D! That awesome.
Hehe, very nice.
Sad I don't have friends keen on SC.
Instead I've recommended TSL on the newsgroup of my univ, and now I'm bit shocked how it worked well, it gathered like 3-6 people, who probably would keep on regular watching TSL. And of course we started to discuss games on the mentioned newsgroup, now it looks like TL forum threads..

yeah but that ruins the stats without everyone's IPs! =][

how about some sort of exhibition match during the semis or finals by bring back a few of the players that were knocked out earlier? the broadcasts are shorter, the matches fewer. having mondi play will easily bring in lots of viewers

Actually I think this a very good idea. I got used to watching 5+ games, and only one set of bo5 seems a bit few for me .

I'll definitely tune in to the next tsl stream, Just been watching the vods so far.
Great work guys keep it up.
|
TL.net i know u'll always be looking 4 ways to improve coverage and increase viewing coverage.
But you all know the ppl who don't tune in are losing out big time.
TSL coverage has been near world class, the difference between GOM Star Invitiational and TSL has been nothing to me, TSL has made me skip work 2weeks in a row haha.
Great job.
Let me leave u with this.
If u build it they will come.

There should be a map making competition for a new map in the next TSL, the principle behind it being to make a map such that it would suggest strategies unlike the standard ones in use today (a new style of map, rather than what we've seen over the last year or so). It would be really interesting, to see what the community puts out, as well as the gameplay that would result from it. Might increase viewership a bit!
|
How about a map pool that spans the different eras of SC progaming? Some that encourage one base aggressive play (say 2000-01), some from the macro revolution (04-05?), and some from whatever is current in the Korean leagues.
Not sure how good an idea that is, but it would certainly be interesting and test the players' versatility.
|
Do the korean events ever re-stream the broadcast after it is over? Is it feasible/a good idea?

Our broadcast costs for re-streaming would not be covered by Razer.

You should definitely incorporate one bwmn map or something. Make it a contest and the winner makes next season's pool
