The stream will be a direct, VLC/WMP playable one, not LiveStream. For now, if you want to chat with other TL users while this is happening, use the TL IRC Channel, which is #teamliquid at irc.quakenet.org. thx, but many ppl cant watch direct stream via vlc or wmp what can those ppl do? Why not? because u can watch a stream with 400kbps of download but direct stream takes more than that many ppl like me have bad internet speed | ||

The only reason for the latter I can think of is that people can log onto each others streams to get information, but surely this is possible also with Idra and Nony. Are there observes physically present? This isn't streamed live, the games will be played before the stream and the casters will be casting from replays (which they have not seen before). There are many reasons for this, the main ones being lag, production, and audience time zones. I know this is really unavoidable, but I've always felt like this really lost a lot of the magic for me (knowing the games were already over). I'm probably in a minority, but thats always my favorite part of watching SC, watching live games. I hope there will be some opportunity to incorporate live game casts at some point during the TSL instead of 100% replay casts. As for the stream: Will there be another embedded stream on the website like last time with its own dedicated page? I found that to be a very cool option that made it easier for a lot of newer viewers to jump into. | ||

Also I don't get why they're not using Livestream. Livestream is basically free bandwidth and everybody is already used to using it to watch korean games. It's also extremely reliable and can't go down. | ||

I'm probably in a minority, but thats always my favorite part of watching SC, watching live games. I hope there will be some opportunity to incorporate live game casts at some point during the TSL instead of 100% replay casts. Obviously a fully live cast with no player lag or caster lag or stream problems would be great. Unfortunately at this point we cannot have a fully live cast given all the issues with it. If all our players, casters, and observers were from one country, we could have a live cast. But that's not the case, so we can't do it. I assume "incorporate live game casts at some point" is just another way to ask "will there be fully live casting?" The answer is no, unless in the next few weeks we discover a way to make international lag disappear. As for the stream: Will there be another embedded stream on the website like last time with its own dedicated page? I found that to be a very cool option that made it easier for a lot of newer viewers to jump into. For the Ro16 this will probably be the case, but for the Idra vs Nony match I am not sure yet. | ||

Obviously, this is never a good idea with a userbase as perceptive as ours. Also I don't get why they're not using Livestream. Livestream is basically free bandwidth and everybody is already used to using it to watch korean games. It's also extremely reliable and can't go down. Our stream going down last time was not the result of LiveStream but a result of the encoding program used to observe the games (and add video elements, etc). Now we use a much better, more stable encoding program, so there will definitely be fewer (if any) stream crashes. Whether we use LiveStream or not does not impact stream reliability. | ||
