lol @ that softpedia link that gives no useful information to the claims that this dingit provides "better quality stream with MUCH less bandwidth"

As far as I've seen, it uses less bandwidth because it has less frames per second and looks choppy. But I'm not expert.

is it peer-to-peer? they might mean it uses much less bandwidth for their servers


No, it doesn't use p2p!


Re the frame, the quality on Enhanced HD is 1080/60fps, and it still uses less bandwidth than other streaming services to do that!

what video encoding does it use? is it h265?
and yea, framerate seems good for me


It does a few very clever things to save bandwidth but still get the good quality. Most are company intellectual property so I can't share, but the FAQ has some details about some of the things we do (such as use UDP rather than TCP) etc.

Glad you like the quality though - anything you think could be improved?

some quiet music or something animating/moving on the break screen, it just looks like the stream is frozen, especially when using an unfamiliar platform

the video quality option seems to suggest that enhanced hd is higher quality than source? that doesn't make any sense, I mean you could be using some fancy upscaling algorithm or frame interpolation but even that is arguably worse quality than source

RE the BRB - we are trying to find a good way to make the break screen more obvious and less like it is frozen. I definitely see why that is confusing!

On the quality, Enhanced HD is a higher quality than Source.

Again, not an expert, but how is it possible to have higher quality than source?

is the logic that source sounds the same as what twitch has so the max quality had to have a new name? the data has to come from somewhere, the streamer is the source, source means the original video stream sent by the streamer so it is the best, but I could see it just being a marketing decision to rename some things

Beating Solar would've been a lot more about prestige and self confidence than pizza money.

Didn't see this but glad Solar won, he is one of my favorite players.

well being able to say i won WCS America is probably more important than killing solar in bo5 so i would say it is not that prestigious either

"Do I practice and play Starcraft for two hours and gain experience just laddering against random people, or do I practice and play Starcraft for two hours, gain competitive experience, compete with a high level opponent, and possibly win money?"

I mean.. why wouldn't he?

And of course 200 dollars is something to care for. Just because you're winning a good prize pool once every couple of months (which is a rare case), doesn't mean you suddenly devalue all money.
