Players don't make the tournament money


It was more of a joke, but those 10 + observers who aren't casting but just joining for no reason aren't making the tourney money.


Actually they do...


If all 14 observers were all individually streaming and casting then yes I'd agree with you. How do the people who aren't streaming but just hanging in games for no reason other then to watch actually helping?


Yeap that's why we start the game with zero casters right


So, I guess players like Boxer and Savior never made any money for BW tournaments?

It's just as Totalbiscuit says, you can't just complete ignore one part of the puzzle and expect to solve it anyway, it just doesn't work like that.


They do only when you get that BIG first. When you are small even someone as famous as MorroW won't really affect your viewership. It's sorta like a fast food restaurant firing a worker versus like the CEO of Boeing booting their head development guy. To get that big you need more money.


Are you trolling at this point? I am saying, you have 14 observers. If 13 are casting then 1 is a waste... are all 14 casting?? If so why??? Just seems extreme, have a few casters tops not 14.


Did you even read Shawngoods post? He spoke for the ESL.

Frankly we don't know why it happens but it does. But this can be verified 100x over that he has a 5+ minute delay probably 80% of the time.


What you're suggesting should technically be impossible, because he's not buffering that on his end using FMLE, the data isn't suddenly hanging there in cyberspace for no reason and Ustream certainly isn't buffering that much data. The data has to go somewhere.

I mean, I had 10 minutes delay on the i40 stream at one point but that's only because the Ustream server was crapping out and pausing every couple of seconds, it's wasn't exactly what I'd call an ideal solution.


First, he does not use FLME. Second, it happens. All the time. This is sort of a well known thing to anyone that watches iCCup TV.


So what exactly does he use? Whatever he's using is apparently allowing a 5-minute local tape-delay buffer which would be something the rest of the community would be extremely interested in learning about.

So people lag some guys game, he doesn't like the lag, then he's banned.

ESL seems like a very well run tournament.


Yes, it was obviously this simple and clearly your comment has merit...


He already posted that he doesn't know how it happens. Honestly do you even read the posts?

And yes, it honestly is that simple. Morrow got banned because the organizers dont know what they're doing.

MorroW got banned because he broke the rules. If you join a tournament you agree to their rules, whether you like them or not. It wasn't the organizers fault that he broke them. You can't expect the rules to change on a whim, no matter if they're retarded or not.

Significant local buffering certainly isn't a documented feature with that program, but if it does do that, it's worth looking into.


I'm going to repeat myself here. WE DON'T KNOW what happens, but it happens.

Yet MorroW allowed zero. So no spectator could watch AND no streamers could stream to make money. But he gets to take make money?

Many games I've watched has 3-4 English casters, where 2 of those are 2 people, leading to 6 people for English casts. 1-2 German, 1-2 French, 1-2 Russian.

It is quite common that the caster and co-caster join the game instead of just one.

Yes, it was obviously this simple and clearly your comment has merit...


Yeah thanks it does. I don't know what else there really is to say, morrow was obviously disliking the lag, and shouldn't have started the game without the casters, but when they ignore him completely, what else should he do? I'd say fuck the casters too my self if they were lagging my game. And then they ban him from the next few tournaments because of this? Wow, what a stupid tournament ran by people that don't know how to run a tournament. Maybe if they listened to their players...... I am no morrow fanboy, hell I don't like sc2, but to ban morrow when they weren't even acknowledging his request (sorry but 14 fucking people are NOT streaming the game) is bullshit.

Yes, one of our admins did talk to MorroW after the cup and we didn't let him play in today's cup but I'm sure we will find a better solution to this issue as well since it's obvious that his behaviour was caused by our organization.


quite rare for an organization to admit that and take action accordingly. props and respect.

and ultimately, the blame is on blizzard

For SCII is more than enough. I can't think of anything that could be relevant 5 minutes later.

You ever played a game in slow motion? It sucks all enjoyment out of the match and makes it much harder to play because every timing is off and your ability to micro is hindered.

I'd do the same thing.

This was posted already but thanks?

"Regarding MorroW's ban: Since we didn't announce any ban for MorroW on our website so far please take any info Rakaka or other community websites release with a grain of salt. Yes, one of our admins did talk to MorroW after the cup and we didn't let him play in today's cup but I'm sure we will find a better solution to this issue as well since it's obvious that his behaviour was caused by our organization."

I am definitely happy they're owning up to their VERY, and i mean VERY, stupid mistake.

Good job Morrow. Sucks that you had to be the one who gets messed up for it but hey, you're already starting the dialog and change.

Here's how it should be: One official cast, and one "dead cast". What I mean by the dead cast is it is just an observer with the game sounds. This gives one cast to be the official one for people to watch, and then another one for other casters to restream with their casting over it. 2 Casters + Official obs. No one else. They can watch replays and the many streams that will be coming through restreaming the dead cast. Also, it makes it easy for restreamers because all they have to do is find the central link for dead casts. They can even enter a game midstream if one of their games finishes early!

I know your pain. I remember Obs games in BW... "who the hell is that lagging obs? Who let 6 obs in the game! Next time 4 max!".

The tournaments should be a little more professional about this (and a few other things) and maybe Morrow's action wasn't the best course, but it definitely needed to be done.
Sweet.

since im in a quote now i just want to make it clear i wasn't actually trying to attack morrow or idra's character, it was just a casual comment on their approach to tournament rules. I don't like to attack the character of people I know next to nothing about

I hope this 'incident' will lead to a better gaming environment, tournament organizers have to seriously think about the triangle of progamers - casters - organization, all three have stakes in a lagfree game. So it's in the best interest of all parties that a game should go without lag. Maybe a silly suggestion, and I know it isn't the most ideal solution for the casters, but what about letting one observer control the camera and casters can restream from his POV without being in the game themselves. So in this situation you'll only have 3 people ingame, the players and the 'cameraman', and maybe a referee or admin.

[edit]When I was writing this was posted, and it's a better explanation of the method I'm talking about.[/edit]

Anything, and I absolutely mean anything, is better than 14 other players in your game. I am still shocked that the admins let this happen on multiple occasions, apparently they have never played a multiplayer game in their lives.

I guess Morrow deserves the ban for breaking the rules (sorry man, that's how it is :p), but ESL should notice now that something isn't going into the right direction here.

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?

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.

Essentially it is that easy, yes. Sure there are a few details you have to take care of, but there are much more complex/difficult things that are absolutely mandatory for a RTS engine and bnet client.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.
