No, you said satellites are vertical transmissions. This is not true - unless you are standing in exactly the right spot, most dishes are going to be somewhere between 30-70 degrees, not remotely close to vertically up out of a canyon.
And those antenna farms are already in use. Running a line out may not be feasible due to cost and time.

You guys can watch this DRG interview in english to pass the time if it doesnt come back soon/drops again

I don't know what to add, really. Killing 3-4 mutas in such a scenario wouldn't have mattered when something actually much worse (for Zerg) happened after a massive oversight from Curious. Mutas can also suddenly change their direction and you have to keep up with 2, possibly 3 different groups while exposing your Mines or Medivacs to snipes, etc., or they can simply fly along the limits of the map while ignoring Marines, not losing much in the process. There isn't even much risk involved in such a harass because Zerg gets ~900 gas per minut and doesn't need to morph Banelings when Marines/Mines are busy chasing mutas for several minuts.
I'm not saying it's easy. But it's doable by splitting and covering edges, which someone like Flash is definitely capable of doing. You might miss them, but you might also very well get lucky.
And if you happen to lose the mutas too early in that situation, you're in a very bad spot because you suddenly have 0 leverage and are forced to defend with your 3 infestors while terrans is moving his main CCs to new expos.

I wonder how people/players would respond to reducing the size of unit control groups so you can't just bunch an entire army or muta pack on one control group..
Make muta balls much high skill to use.
reduce death ball usage I would think.
I think it would be nothing but pro's compared to the cons of just not being able to have every unit selected at once...
Maybe not BW groups of 12 but maybe 15 or 20 max? Just put 300 or 400 food so that people don't have to stop after 8-10minute of hardcore macro.
I wonder, is there a specific reason for keeping food supply at 200? Only thing I can think of is that it makes for more possible players to play the game because lack luster computers that wouldn't be able to handle 300 or 400 supply...
if they did this I would also advocate for keeping 200 supply for team games and increasing supply only for 1v1 games..
but still even with increase supply I think there should be a cap on amount of units per control group... it's just too easy right now..

What I said was you need line of sight to a satellite. Which is a binary condition. I'm not talking about calling in a satellite truck on the same day, I'm saying they could have and should have planned this weeks or months ahead.
My main point was that if you're broadcasting a live event, you shouldn't do it on a connection shared with a gigantic convention. Because eagles.
