oh man the stream is unwatchable..... even at 480p it stops every 15s (no it's not my internet). volume is super low. Overall it seems pretty interesting but watched like this it's PAINFULL
Stream's fine here (720p) after some hiccups few mins back. Volume has been a problem, but its been more stable this panel than earlier today.
Try pop the stream out.

Because dreamhack had how many streams? 20?
they had atleast 2 starcraft streams.
And pretty much every person who wanted to watch starcraft2, had both of the streams open at one point. This alone means that one real viewers, gets counted twice.
Also the events runs over 3 days, and everyday every viewers gets recounted.
That is simply not accurate.
Moreover, just go to twitch.tv mainpage, you will immediately add an unique viewers to one random stream, that you may not even care about.

A short 30 minute break?

We shall see, I have my hopes up that Robert will bring the fire on a few points.
Would have been great for Carmac to have been there too =(

You mean the term that the industry, which you clearly do not understand, uses to say "the most accurate representation we can provide that the connection to our stream is a real person watching the stream"? What term would you like them to use? Or have you back yourself into a corner on this one?

Didn't make any difference (i'm on a 40mbit connection, just tested, so again, not my connection)

I don't think anything significant will be accomplished by the discussions. I think more could be accomplished by having private discussions, which I assume these folks already have when necessary.
edit: This is my polite way of saying that this event is a big "hey look at us"
I still think talks like these are worth having, considering e-sports should be publicized and continued to be brought to the attention of everyone (so that it can become more normalized and ingrained in our culture)... and they're doing a pretty good job of talking about the things that need to be done to make progress (in all aspects of the community, from the individual player and team to the leagues and streams and big businesses involved). Private discussions are surely good too, but they won't get as much attention in the outside world, and so these types of announcements and gatherings are good from time to time.

Just because it is may the most accurate thing that is possible, it doesn't mean that it is good, or well it is good when you want to compare different streams using the same system, but not when you compare those numbers to numbers generated on a completely different way.

You have no ability to back up any of those claims. You don't think they have the ability to detect when the same ISP is connected to both streams. The people selling ads to twitch and MLG are going to be looking out for things like that and they are far better at spotting cooked numbers than you will ever be.

It would have been so awesome with a 2GD couch in between the panels.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. You are basicly claiming that the numbers are inaccurate they are not based on going into people's houses and confirming they are watching MLG or Dreamhack.

Why is it necessary for some British person to bring this up every single time it's mentioned? You guys are seriously the only country who actually cares what it's called for some silly reason. Everyone knows what's being talked about regardless.

Yeah I see the multiple stream-watcher issue, but on the other side that means multiple revenue/add-watcher (not sure how to express) so that is still legit numbers when it comes to selling numbers to the commercial market I think. You are watching two channels at the same time, not one channel twice.
And still you can get the exact numbers for everything, it's just that they like to whip the biggest one around. ^^
