He's not gonna show his secret builds that's all.
Some players don't really mind streaming even before tournaments,look forGG he streams all the time.

Probably will leave a gap in his scouting and hope someone proxies there.

He will play play terran vs bronze opponents since its new account and probably on NA. Which wont be exciting at all.

He will play SC2. Which won't be half as exciting as him playing BW.

There is no way this is going to live up to the hype. He's gonna be late and the stream is gonna lag and he's going to play either offrace or against low leagues.
Having said that... I'm still gonna stay up till 4 am

Yes sadly... but i would watch every second of it...

IdrA has 10k viewers RIGHT NOW.

If Flash's stream is announced a few days beforehand so that everyone knows exactly when to sit their asses down in front of their computer to watch Flash show the world how he plays the game we all love, I am sure that his stream will hit very high numbers, if not reach new sc2-related records when it comes to personal streams.

On other subjects: I really hope he only streams once or twice. For one, the amount of viewers will diminish the more he streams and it might hurt his regular practice. We can't know for sure though, but I really hope he doesn't stream much.

idra is the 2nd most popular sc2 player.
Jaedong would be a good indicator, he started at like what 12-15k but nowadays at about 3k?
I dont see why flash would be any different.

At Flash's level, depending on frequency and length of the sessions, I think even a regular 50k+ viewers is possible . We have to consider the viewers from Korea(deal exclusive to Razer/Twitch AFAIK) and other parts of the world too. We are talking about the legendary Flash live streaming his practice FPVOD for the first time in history, now that's got to mean something every SC fans in the world!

And if he happens to enter GOD MODE in SC2 during this streaming deal...gosh $_$. Just hope Twitch can withstand the bandwidth.

Dude, even the top LoL streamers struggle to get 30k viewers.. its not that easy man

Wait, have you really just compared LoL streamers to Flash? :D

LoL is a lot more popular than SC2. SC2 is pretty nichey these days.

Almost 200k viewers this weekend is not really "nichey" but yea it's smaller than LoL.

oO what had almost 200k viewers

They're counting kor/cn viewers in addition to all the twitch ones

Which isn't all impressive if we include Dota2/LoL numbers but ok. :l

I feel if he did this at the start of HotS the viewers would be incredible because after beating Innovation at MLG he was considered not just one of the best Terran's but one of the best SC2 players and add to that the HotS hype. It's also a terrible time for Europeans (4AM) which seem to give more viewers on Twitch.

Everyone keeps saying he wont "show his builds".... Does flash seem like a build order player to you guys? He just plays as greedy as he possibly can (cc first, triple cc etc) and then defends and then crushes you with his mechanics. I don't think he has too many crazy builds to even hide.

I can't speak for his SC2 career but Flash was extremely meticulous and innovative in crafting build orders in BW.
