The observer is Hot_Bid.

The casters and observers don't see each other screens. Nobody is following anybody else, although it is the observer's job to try to follow what the casters are talking about.

So you shouldn't say they didn't get it. I'm sure they would get it if they saw it, they just didn't see it.

It is always good to know that the TLHQ is always way ahead of the everyone else!

Chill, I can sympathize with the caster's plight, and imagine how it would be hard to simultaneously talk and keep our replay synced.

However, thinking about this more (dangerous!), the tool that R1CH programmed can be improved to help the casters by minimizing the mental effort it takes to keep synced.

Two observations:
1) The absolute time of the replays do not matter, only the difference between the replay timings matters.
2) This tool can only mitigate the sync issue, not truly fix it.

Thus, the tool can be reprogrammed to show how many seconds each caster is ahead/behind the observer.

In addition, color coding can be used to give visual queues to the casters, so they don't have to do mental math while trying to talk. For instance, if the caster is more than 1 second behind the observer, then the difference clock turns red. Alternatively, if ahead, the difference clock turns yellow. However, when the caster is within 1 second (plus or minus) the difference clock is a neutral color like black, because close enough is fine for this purpose. Therefore, when the caster gets the color coded visual queue that he is out-of-sync, the resyncing process can be started and stopped using the color indicators (turning from red back to black, or yellow back to black).

Anyway, what do you all think?

LQ stream was really choppy, like every 30-45 seconds audio would break for a second, than come back, and picture would come back in 5-6 seconds. HQ worked great so dunno what happened there.

I would have loved to see a studio between the matches - and if that's not possible I would prefer to jump right into the games (since they are replay casts anyway)

For me it felt a bit boring watching the stream between the games with only the possibility to watch on a static image

The games and the commentarys are awsome so far I'll never get tired of day9

I'd like to make a request to the admin of TL's youtube account:

It would bo nice if the admin could put up a third fake anti spoiler game to every matchup. Tho I love to watch SC2 games, it's always more fun when you don't know who's gonna win the games


BIG BIG thanks to all on TL for making this tournament happen, and to the casters of course <3

Is there a reason why the supply count post-1.3 only shows one of the players?

I really like having both up at the same time. I didn't even know it was possible to only have one of the players showing.

I have no idea if it's just me but today the stream is so choppy for me that it's just unbearable for me. Artifacts, sound distortions and blackouts make me go insane. It's exactly the same on low quality so I have no idea where the problem lies. The only thing I know is that experience is completely ruined for me and it brings more stress than joy. :<

GoOdy is awesome.

Hordes of GoOdy fans are probably using up all of Europe's bandwidth.
