Great little tourney with so few viewers. Violet/Select/Day9 in person and only 3k people watching? SCAN had 10k+ and it was played online with a tiny prize pool. At least you are on the TL sidebar! A few suggestions:

Get the stream listed under the game 'starcraft' on Twitch.tv. Edit: nice, fixed! Though your stream is still currently titled "Untitled Broadcast" ...

Web page showing pool results or brackets (there are free sites that will do this for you). Link from this thread and twitch info tab and the main stream description so it's right there on the page at all times.

Day9 mic is clipping like crazy, fix it if you can.

You will have inevitable downtime, but try to avoid ever cutting to static screen, even if you just mute audio and show an empty desk on video you will retain more viewers. Or cut to brackets at a minimum.

Submit a post to /starcraft and to /day9, saying you are live right now. Tell chat to upvote if they like what they see.

Appoint a few mods in chat (looks like that's been fixed, yay!).

This isn't online, you've got players there live in person but you'd never know it! Get a camera on them once in awhile. Or have them come to the desk or something between matches if you only have one camera.

And recently, some pretty severe video lag.

Up to 4k viewers now though!

That was built up after hours and hours, there were very few viewers at the start.

Why does the game seem to go really fast and then lag then go really fast then lag? =\

Seems weird for a computer company to promote themselves with laptops that can't stream properly

Or is it an encoding/bitrate problem?

I don't know who that engagement was worst for, the marines or my beautiful headphone wearing ears.

Despite the technical problems, a good tournament with some great matches.

Remaining in the winners: Violet, GoSuSTX, Quantic.State, Axslav. STX knocked Select down to losers but he's not out yet.

The funniest game: this bizarre proxy during State and Beasty: http://www.twitch.tv/msistarcrafttv/b/318013606?t=113m30s
