If there's 2000 people in your livestream channel and you reconnect at any point, you can forget about throwing your stream live again apparently. Fears like that at least don't exist with ustream.

Of course on the other hand we Are still waiting for them to fix our embed link.

Made me glad that Husky/HD said that they may want to borrow your stream again for the future matches

Partial crosspost from the HDH thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=118879&currentpage=96#1938

I had a great Starcraft Sunday yesterday. Thanks HD & Husky; despite the problems, it was fun to watch. Also thanks to thegunrun & GLHF.tv (also Day[9]).

From what day9 said, I take it that the issue with LiveStream is when you have thousands of viewers, going offline then going back online will cause major issues. I guess Ustream has a different architecture, or since GLHF.tv is online 24/7 they don't have the same problem.

Major props for GLHF & thegunrun for being very professional with the setup. The image overlay was great. I didn't even notice they prepared fake Game 3 files sometimes since I intentionally look away from the screen when they load the replays. Playing music during intermissions is also great. These little things really help with the overall audience experience. GLHF.tv is a great host. Maybe one thing to suggest is to add some overlay text/image that says "x Minutes Intermission - Next game: aaa vs bbb". That will help people who joined in the middle of the intermission period.

I love when the community works together like this. Let people do what they are best at. GLHF at hosting and streaming, HD & Husky at commentating, and Day[9] at being awesome .

Fun fact, aside from streaming awesome quality video, as it turns out, we're also good at theft.

A few broken windows at Blizzard HQ later, rumor has it we've obtained a significant number of beta keys. If such were the case, maybe you can persuade us to share. For starters, one might suggest heading over and liking the official GLHF.tv facebook page over at http://tinyurl.com/glhftv to find out more. Ssshhhh.

I really liked Orb and dApollo co-casting in the Zotac games. Really showed them having extensive knowledge of the game and that made it great listening to their cast!

I've been over in Copenhagen the last few days doing some cod4 commentary for a televised event there, so I'm not up to speed. As I understand it, the stream is dead because of technical issues on ustreams side right now. So we're on hold. We at least know they're working on it.

hey dudes, just a small thing but could you please link to a 3rd game even if there is none when posting the vods?

knowing it only goes to two games kinda spoils the result

other than that great work and thanks for all the effort

We were told we're getting some priority bandwidth love soon from ustream, so much props to them and hopefully the lag will be resolved in the near future.

Yes the glhf.tv stream improved and stopped lagging, but ustream is really starting to lag on ALL the streams.

Maybe it is because all the streamers changing from livestream to ustream. I don't even want to know how much bandwith they would need if a stream is around 1000kbit..

125KB/s upload that should be a bandwith massacre with 10K people on one stream.
