EPTBut ignoring the ESL tv request to cast his games is really disrespectful, and that screenshot from bigtv is really gonna hurt him
They need to create som rules that there can only be 2-3 streamers in a game, theres no need for more.

You get more delays, lag, "bad" casters, low quality casting that makes people not watch and so on. If tournaments want to increase their viewership there is dozen of things you can do that don't involve allowing all and any caster to join a game. Each caster was from a different place. If you include more different places, just that fact that you included them makes you money. Look if you every want to see SC2 become what BW is in Korea, you have to make these sacrifices until you have a designated SC channel with booths, sponsored teams and all that stuff. Also as a viewer, if you hate it, don't watch. As a player, if you hate it don't play. Oh wait... regardless we will still watch and play even if we are posting this stuff. | ||

At the same time players need to realize that a lot of people want to see them play and not be jerks to the casters who provide the games to the hundreds of spectators. ESL should probably pick 2 or 3 "Official" casters to cast their events rather than just let any random joe with procaster cast. | ||

The boss is the organizer, the players are the workers, and we are the customers. Even if they decrease the quality of the food and the working conditions, the workers won't quit because they need the money to survive and the people will keep going because its just fat and greasy food. There will always be new customers, and a player would gladly take their spot if they leave. And people will still watch. | ||

But starting the game without streamers, even if they explain you the rules... well he deserves the ban. See you in 2 weeks morrow. | ||

14 spectators is a lot of lag, and will effect the performance on the game. If ESL wants to have a good quality product, part of the need is to make sure the player can perform adequately. Having horrendous lag due to unnecessary streamers takes away the product, even if it expands the watching population by 10%. | ||

However, I blame Blizzard. It's actually fairly simple to implement observers in a way that completely eliminates lag for players. Essentially you just send the observers data and don't care whether they recieve it properly/in time or not. I have no idea why Blizzard didn't implement something like that. Lazy? | ||

You need broadcasters, players, tournament organisers and sponsors, in order to make money from an ESPORTS tournament. Popular players bring in more views, but in order to get popular players, you need the money to attract them to it, which means you need sponsors. In order to have a good tournament, you need tournament organisers to get the sponsors in the first place and facilitate the tournament and then in order for those sponsors to get their money's worth, they need broadcasters to ensure that they have enough spectators seeing their product. You can't take any one of those away from the equation. Some people will watch a tournament because it's got a lot of money and promotion behind it, that's due to the sponsors. Some will watch due to the organisation that's backing it, who always has an established audience, that's the tournament organiser. Some people will watch it due to the people casting, because they too have established fanbases, that's their broadcasters and last but by no means least, some people will watch because their favourite player is playing. Do not discount the importance of any of these things, nor try to squabble over who is more important than the other, because they are all necessary. Raelcun regularly has a 5+ minute delay. And I assume he has no problem sharing his secret with the community, right? ...right? Because he's certainly not doing that via traditional means and this has been a known problem since the start of beta, which nobody has come forward with a legitimate solution to. | ||

Are you sure it's that simple? Really feels like there's got to be a reason for it being what it is, but then again.. they do make some questionable decisions. It has to be related to how Bnet works though, I mean.. They can't think having obs lag games adds anything to SC2. | ||

Yeah if Blizz can figure this out, then the pro-caster camp will be able to get their 14+ casters no problem. | ||

Sure they will, MorroW has a fanbase just like any other established player. Some will boycott due to his treatment, others just won't care enough to watch it because he's not playing. They're certainly not gaining any viewers by getting rid of him. | ||
