That all has more to do with conditions for players, though, not my experience as a viewer. Apart from GSL, which has been more or less the same, players casters and organizers have all done a really good job of keeping up a good rhythm of content, hyping up online events, and playing their hearts out at even at weird times and in non-ideal conditions. There's plenty to watch and the scene feels more alive and fervent and competitive than it has in years imo, which I think has more effect on viewer enjoyment than tournament conditions. | ||

In fact, these days I use the Twitch viewer numbers to see if a match is important So all in all, quality of casts and matches is perfect, but I miss the overview | ||

For the audience atmosphere I feel this really is only a factor with big audiences, where a little of the audience sound is mixed into the broadcast. I feel that particular combo does add to my hype and investment, if it’s not an audience we can hear I don’t think it makes much difference, at least as a home viewer. Homestory Cup is obviously a big, big loser if it’s held remotely given its unique selling point. | ||

This is also the reason why I can totally understand players who don’t want to play with a webcam since it increases ping. As long as they turn it on for the interviews I am happy All I want are two pros playing against it each other with the best possible conditions. | ||

While I will probably still watch the events because of the good sc2 action, I won't remember the majority of them because I haven't been given any reason to. I'd love to see a more cohesive narrative built around ESL's events, because right now I just don't really care if Reynor or Clem wins yet another tournament, why would another win be unique, or meaningful aside from the money? | ||

a) It brought player cams, that was just main stage games offline. b) less delay, offline tournaments can drag out because of logistics. With that said, its ofc bad for ping reasons, no audience and such. The time zone and playing at night/early morning can be bad but jet lag can be just as bad when travelling far to an offline event. | ||
