Idk showtime just looks to be too patient at the wrong time and then too impatient in other moments.

Always nice to see a zerg winning a late game zvp but overall Showtime seems a bit off today.

I really dislike the overuse of wider camera in the b stream. Everything looks tiny.


I love using Zoomout for bigger coverage of fights. We have the tools to see the whole battlefield, so why deny the spectators information? But I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, and I appreciate the feedback. Will mix things up a bit more, but don't expect too many changes. <3

I like it when it’s used judiciously, to give an idea of where everything is.

When it’s overused I think it can create a bit of a disconnect with what the players can see and what we can see that can kill the drama a bit.

Super Tournament finals for example (my memory is fading with age, the players roles may be reversed) I think it was Zoun sneaking disruptors behind Trap’s army and the observer basically only showed them slightly before Trap got hit by them. Which was a cool bit of drama where the flank bamboozled the viewers almost as much as it did Trap.

If everything was zoomed we’d have lost the element of surprise that made the moment so intense, it would have been ‘oh he’s going for a flank, this is probably going to work’ way before the fact. Still exciting but not as fun.

On the flip side from tuning in to many of your streams I don’t recall it being something you overdo, plus having done it myself it’s really tricky to observe, cast and do both well simultaneously!

See I have to disagree. I personally don't like when info I could have is withheld. I'd like to see as much as possible and draw my own conclusions

So I appreciate the wide shots for the most part unless it is super overused which I didn't particularly notice from the B stream

I guess it’s a preference thing and it’s kind of innately impossible to appeal to both camps, I wonder what the breakdown of each preference is though.

my problem is the overreliance of some casters towards the supply number, sometimes neglecting army quality or even infrastructure advantage

Game just feels weird/off to me in the zoomed out view, I only like it for big battles with multiple angled engages

Showtime - ByuN with both players hoping to keep their dream alive. Sadly I don't see any of them getting through now.

The Harstem/Lambo combo is great. They both have so much knowledge and are good at explaining it.

Yeah. Katowice group days with three streams are the best days of SC2.

I’d seen someone link some multi stream link thing on day 1, but wasn’t on my desktop like I’ll be later, anyone able to link if they know what I’m talking about?

I'm inclined to think this is a silly poll, but then I remember there are ppl who seriously think we should not have production tabs in SC2 because they belive that's what makes BW good (it's not)
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?
