I really like the concept of this!

Now all we need is:
- Picture in Picture tools
- Rewinding/slowing down/pausing live games for observers/spectators (like LoL)

And we're good to go. I know they're both totally possible, tempted to look into what would be required to make/mod this in.

This looks absolutely fucking amazing imo and I really hope big tournaments make use of this. Early game, casters typically don't have a whole lot to do, but with that full screen map + drawing feature a good caster could show a lot of great analysis before the game even takes off.

Awesome! What would also be cool if it was possible to zoom in on the live minimap and draw stuff there.

. Slight loss in resolution, but non-1080p is still more common.

Ooh, this looks nice. Though I wonder how difficult it would be to draw a precise line on a minimap, even if it is slightly blown up.

Somebody should PM this to Day9. I'm sure he'd use this all the time

I wonder if viewers would be willing to sacrifice down time between major engagements to allow commentators to quickly john madden a replay of a fight. Or a smaller window showing the replay in the fight when theres nothing relevant. I say replay as simply playing back the fight and not an actual replay file.

I saw JP using this today on the MLG qualifiers. Very nicely done.

they are already available. EG MCSL uses them a lot, Scoots has a tricaster which allows this. MLG also uses a tricaster for their main stream I believe, I would love to see them do it too. You are also able to do replay with the tricaster I believe.

NASL also does this but with different equipment. Technology is already there and a couple of leagues have it, its just becoming proficient in using it now.

I really like this SCII Tactitian. Can't wait to see more and more people use it.
