Does the reduced settings increase ingame responses, is it just visibly better to see or makes controlling units easier? Or do they just want to increase the stream quality? (or have bad computers :X) If anyone plays with these certain types of settings could you list me what you have them set as? | ||

Also, aren't the graphics usually set to medium/low at tournaments? Playing on those settings at home will obviously mean there's no mental adjusting to do when they play a tournament | ||

But to answer your question streaming uses a lot of your computer's resources so often times you need to lower the graphic setting so everything doesn't crash on a decent/good computer. High-end ones can handle it but a lot of players like the simplistic look of lower graphical settings. That way everything is very clear and there isnt any unnecessary flash. | ||

Not sure if this is true. He actually said it pretty much makes cloaked units appear uncloaked - they've patched that though. Not sure if it's still easier to see them, but they're not completely visible anymore. | ||

This is good for 2 reasons: 1- it guarantees a steady framerate even in the biggest battles with multiple spells being cast and tons of units attacking/dying. 2 - it is easier for the eyes/brain to pick up vital information if there is less going on visually. I.e. Your brain doesn't have to parse through unnecessary information like a shimmering doodad to determine that there is no unit there. There are a couple of disadvantages in that forcefields are harder to spot and the unique death animations can sometimes give you a better idea of what units are doing the most damage. I think a mix of low and medium settings is optimal for it gives you less clutter but doesn't take away any important information. | ||
