Following the update earlier in the week, we have asked SPOTV to broadcast StarLeague on both DingIt and YouTube going forward. Additionally, full 1080p, 60fps streams will be available for free. Tomorrows games: aLive vs MyuNgSiK herO vs Hurricane soO vs INnoVation Soulkey vs Trust

some highschooler thought he came up witha unique and fun-to-say name? like bing, uber, lyft, or any of those other crappy names. perhaps hoping that it one day becomes a verb like "to google" "hey did you catch ssl last night?" "no, let me DingIt!!!" i refuse to watch on that platform solely because of its hideous name. .. and its horrible reputation. | ||

And last year azubu was far superior to twitch, and until now afreeca too. I don't know why Twitch hates me but it's always the most unstable stream for me, making me choose any other solution when they're available... | ||

However, now that we have access to YouTube as well...it's a no-brainer just use YouTube over DingIt. Hope your job isn't on the line as a result Madals, good luck! Also sidenote - I think pretty much all the alternatives we've seen are just plainly better than Twitch - Azubu, Afreeca, YouTube lol. | ||

They won't get one cent from the move and yet they still paid for the sponsorship, not Youtube... I doubt they will be investing more in SC2 following this net lose. Sucks to lose a sponsor. Maybe they got some understanding where whatever money is generated via Youtube goes to them to make the situation a little less sucky. As a viewer though, I, too, am happy but I can't help feeling that us bullying them in giving up isn't all that great. | ||

As a viewer though, I, too, am happy but I can't help feeling that us bullying them in giving up isn't all that great. No matter what it is their fault. They had this issue with the CS:GO fans because of the .exe and now a plugin requirement to view. They heard the feedback that the viewers DO NOT want to have any plugin or anything as a requirement to view the stream. They failed to comply, so they must bear the consequences. Although I think the community did take it too far, they could have just install a small free linux VM with only chrome browser and the plugin, watch the stream there if they fear a malware or anything and then shut it down. | ||

I know what UDP/TCP is and how their plugin could help. But as many people said before, there is no justification for an end user to install a plugin to watch a stream in 2016. Even if it is not an adware or malware, it is a glorified way for them to bypass adblock at best. I sincerely hope their company goes under and they leave sc2 scene for good. | ||

I'm quite proud. Thanks to DingIt for recognizing their product is sub-par, now you know what you need to do : come back with something that's actually decent, and not shady-looking. | ||

Everytime the camera is moving (and it is very often in a gaming stream) there is serious shading on DingIt and it's just not what you call true 1080p quality. Maybe it is 1080p, maybe it is 60fps but it doesnt appear like it for sure. More like 480p. So @madals: I read through your long post last week and I followed your arguments as they theoretically actually make sense. But words is the one thing, as the product DingIt is delivering, despite having the contra of the extra Plugin to install, isn't really nice at all and doesn't give the user a good viewing experience at all. Sorry to say as I support new approaches to streaming, but you actually need to improve A LOT. | ||

Little wasted as well so shot straight through the comments looking for a link. | ||

If a company creates a bad product, it is not the consumers' fault for hating the product. :O !

What? You seriously think it's justifiable to go to such lengths just to watch a fucking stream? A stream for a single event, mind you... This is 2016, even Afreeca doesn't force us to hide behind proxies to watch their video feeds anymore, and you think this would be acceptable?

I haven't had issues with Twitch in 4 years, meanwhile YouTube has been broken more often than not, although it's improved somewhat lately... | ||

Pande said he got a list of streams and the English YT stream was not on it. Does DingIt say that TL is not allowed to show the English YT stream (not sure how they would have a say in what is shown on TL and what not) or is this just a misunderstanding?
