"O you're not casting it live but replays? Well fuck you, I'm going to spoil it for you then". That does not resolve anything and that's why discussions never get anywhere. | ||

Plus those tournaments don't have as many casters. If you want a broader perspective, check HuK's thread. There's a lot of latency and distraction from obsing.im wondering why there are two cups with a 1024 and a 512 grid every sunday, FULL. with many many many progamers though its all about cheating and lagging. and yes it would be worse if they'd cast only replays.. + if other tournements cast live and ATLO not, than it feels like not as entertaining  | ||

Excitement in itself is a psychological response, and arguing about how watching casted replies logically shouldn't be different from watching something live doesn't get you anywhere. And yes, it would be different if people wouldn't know that replays were casted, but that's the whole point. It certainly is hard to give concrete reasons for it, besides a vague "it feels less exciting". I've thought about it at length, ever since watching day9's KotB, trying to come up with an explanation for myself why i felt less excited then I thought I should. I think the fundamental reason is, and others have mentioned that before, that you are watching something predetermined. A delayed stream, even if it's delayed by 15 minutes or more, at least give the illusion that the outcome is still in the open, and since we're talking about psychological effects, just having the illusion is as good as the real thing. Or to be more concrete, the difference between a delayed cast and a replayed cast is that delayed casts gives you the casters live reaction to ongoing events, while with replays casters and viewers both share the knowledge that the game is already over. Another aspect is that with replays, you can never be sure that the casters doesn't already know the result. With KotB, that was one my biggest gripes, knowing (or suspecting), that day9 already knew the results, therefor having to fake the enthusiasm. Whether he really did (and as it turned out he did know) is besides the point, as that nagging feeling in the back of your mind is enough. Those are just little aspects that make up, but not fully explain, why, at least for me, watching casted replays is less exciting then watching something live, even if it's delayed. | ||
