Any chance you could look at separating tournament cast streams from player streams on the events section (or just stopping players appearing as tournament streams). It's not always obvious.

It generally feels very gimmicky US player weighted as things stand.

I like the new policy. It's indeed more generous and gives more opportunities to the players.

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.

I was wondering, should the required user number be related to the language used in the stream?
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.
I figured out the EG Curse. It was set in motion by Voodoo Shamans working for Millenium. Whenever EG aquires a player, Voodoo energies start slowly draining skill from the EG guy into an Millenium newcomer. Think about it!

does these changes also effect the featured streams for broodwar?
The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

i think we can "several hundred of viewers" in BW only if Flash will start streaming BW (or JD switches back to BW :D )

Ways To Qualify For A Feature:
  • Be in any region's WCS system. This includes Premier and Challenger Leagues.
  • Have an appearance in the Round of 16 of any premier tournaments as defined by Liquipedia.
  • 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.
In addition we'll be removing people more regularly. Following each season's WCS qualifiers we will go through and remove from the featured list any players that no longer meet the above requirements and have fewer than 300 average viewers on their stream (though this exact number is subject to change with more research). This means that while in WCS any player will remain featured but it is possible to drop off the list should they be eliminated from Challenger League. For the number reporting we will be using a tool that tracks viewer counts while the stream is live on TeamLiquid, which all streamers will have access to seeing in the near future - it is very similar to the twitch dashboard but on some occasions will report slightly different averages.



Are these requirements or/or/or and and/and/and ?

Please not avilo...

Not to player bash, but that player has had more problems on TL.net, SotG, etc. etc. than almost anyone else. He's a master at pissing people off and getting into ragefests.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think balance whining or pissing people off should matter in whether someone is a featured streamer.


I disagree

What about Liquid players? You add them always, right? I guess currently all Liquid players make that list on their on merit, but if, let's say Sheth comes back into active state, he'd be added?

That's a dangerous territory to enter, as it is quite subjective. I guess nobody would disagree that avilo balance whines a LOT, but so does i.e. Idra. 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.

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.
