Have an extraordinary amount of viewers on your own merits. This doesn't happen often but occasionally people will grow their stream to have several hundred viewers at all times and this is worth consideration. I would preferred to see a number on this for it to be more clear and objective. 500+? 600+? 1k+? Other than this, good update. | ||

Obviously english is the to go language, yet there are some streams in german, french, russian... which do feature their native tongue. And to a specific audience (people not very fluid in english) this seems to be a good feature. However, due to the size of the country and the amount of people in the 14-30 year range, the viewer numbers will be influenced. I think that TL should consider this variable to ensure, that at least a couple of streams of each language (that are active of course) should be featured, even if they are slightly below what you would normally need. It's kind of like the quota for women in upper management, it is essential to "enforce" good things for more people to see the benefits. Also I think it could help grow regional esports szenes for smaller countries. Just an Idea to be less "elitist" and more open to a larger and younger audience. | ||

Where do you draw the line? Yeah, I really don't think the featured streams section should be a method Team Liquid uses to reward or punish players for acting responsibly. It's just a list of streams that are significant in some way, either because that player has achieved some tournament results, or because their stream has pretty good content and a high viewer count. I get that avilo is unpopular, but that shouldn't matter for featured stream purposes. Defeaturing someone for balance whining or some other frowned-upon behavior is comparable to defeaturing Stephano because he has an alcohol problem. Doesn't matter if it's true, it's not relevant. + Show Spoiler + Not saying Stephano DOES have an alcohol problem, just needed an example. And to be clear, I'm just disagreeing with some other people in this thread. As far as I can tell, TL is doing exactly what they should with the list, and this new policy should help some new and promising streamers make it up there, which is nice. Edit: On July 07 2013 20:42 murphs wrote: The desperation of avilo and his fanboys makes me cringe. Sorry, what are you referring to? The person one page 1 who wanted him to be featured? Or me saying balance whining shouldn't be relevant for whether or not someone is a featured streamer? Not that it matters, but I don't think I could be considered an "avilo fanboy" by any stretch of the imagination. I think his comments regarding balance and/or game design tend to be overdramatic and he's usually wrong. I've never seen his stream, and don't know his viewer numbers, so I don't personally have any idea whether he should be featured. I hear he uses nukes a lot, so that's cool I guess. | ||
