Yeah, that is so silly from them to even get the idea to pay people that are working for you.
By the way, as far as I know Millenium was okay to stream through twitch, because they had a mixed solution Dailymotion/twitch.
And please remember that twitch in France is awfully bad, on Free at certain time of the day it is unwatchable even in 240p.

ToD + other people for him to talk to who get to pretend anyone cares what they are saying.
Regardless, if this is featuring on TL stream list I'll check it out.

Is this another case of organisations who stream using other providers than Twitch losing out? Read the thread still not 100% on all the ins and outs! twitch sponsors wcs/esl esl tells ogaming they can't stream on their own platform ogaming don't want to use twitch because they can't get as much money and refuse to use twitch esl partners with someone who does stream on twitch ogaming gets mad because... well who knows O'Gaming is not mad. who's mad then? someone is definitely mad! If IKEA or H&M was the main and only sponsor DH, wouldn't you be pissed? It's close to what's happening in France with JV.com hm, no?  It's more about that : 1/ The communities that developed SC2 in France by themselves (Millenium, OGaming, aAa) are not involved in this new casting project, which seems ungrateful from ESL. However, remember that these communities said they couldn't run a beneficial project with twitch, but running it through twitch is part of Blizzard's contract so ... 2/ There is also the fact that JVC is a big website sponsored by some ad company (thus seen as the big bad wolf), and is said to be only followed by teenagers (which is not a really reasonable argument, as I believe it is the most followed gaming website in France?). How is it ungrateful when it's ogaming who refuse to work with the partner of esl & wcs? They had every chance in the world to stream on twitch and adjust the resources to not make a huge loss. Instead they say "our way or we won't do it at all" and then people are upset when esl give the rights to someone else. you missed the part when ogaming officials whined publicly about it on TL
Exactly and this is why it's extremely annoying.
Maybe sc2 will be exposed to more people (mostly teenagers) but aAa, Millenium and OGaming the French casting and tournament creators, the guys who literally developed the French scene will get the short end of the stick.
JVC is the most viewed gaming site in France by far like something like 20 times more than Millenium the second most viewed, it also has a terrible community (there are no mods or punishments).
To me it just seems like JVC was ready to pay alot just to get its hands on WCS and at the end of the day it will only add to the drama and tensions between French casters (like the Tod / Anoss one).

You know it's Free who is at fault and not Twitch right ? Same goes for Orange.
As for a French stream, I'll try it since there's nobody from OGTV this time. I can't watch/listen casters in there late 20s/early 30s speaking like teenage retards anymore. I hope Tod/Makoz/TKL will be able to provide proper commentary in French. That would be new.
|
I am kind of sad too, to see WCS getting away from those people who made e-sport in France. A bit reassured though to see Kaoru also being behind the project. Wait and see, but I doubt they will make me look away from the english stream. Makoz usually makes me fall asleep.
To give an idea of twitch CPM in France: recently ToD mentioned that he earned (I think it was) 94 dollars for 51 hours of stream. He said he will be switching to Dailymotion for his personal stream, where he would have maybe 10-20x more.

Of course I know, so what? If Free and Orange didn't changed their politics when everyone complained about Google website like Youtube beeing unsuable at certain times, so there is no chance in hell that they would do it for a minor website like twitch.
nkr : If the stream is unwatchable for the public you are aiming , it does matter a tiny little bit! Yay, let's do a stream that no one can watch, that is so useful!

The real question is how many of this 26.7 millions have interest in watching an esport stream ?
So many people have Orange as an ISP because it used to be the national landline provider and it's the only ISP which actually provides an internet connection everywhere in France.
Plus, Orange owns Dailymotion, there is absolutely no reason for them to pay to raise their bandwith to allow better access to competition (be it youtube or twitch).

Twitch is the official broadcaster of WCS. I suppose no other streaming site broadcasts the tournament.
To settle the twitch/France discussion:
There are only two ISPs in France that have problems with TwitchTv (and youtube) which are Orange and Free. The problem comes form the fact that neither of this providers are willing to reach a deal with Cogent (ISP for twitch and youtube) to enhance connectivity between their respective networks, mainly because of the asymetric data flow (more data go form USA to France than the opposite)
More info about Orange/Cogent (2011, not settled since. Still in court ?):
http://www.telecompaper.com/news/cogent-files-competition-complaint-against-orange-france--823594
http://www.telecompaper.com/news/orange-to-sue-cogent-seeks-fair-peering-deal--781492
I didn't find any article written in English about the Free/Cogent issue but the causes are basically the same as the ones with Orange.

Come on, twitch is worse in China since their Singapore datacenter is close to dead, if not for WCS AM having Chinese players we are not going to have any WCS cast, even that only Chinese playdays and the finals of WCS AM and EU are broadcasted.
