Hey thanks a lot guys... And the lag is REALLY weird, i believe it is a problem with livestream. I email them all the time and they are unwilling to help me with it, it kinda sucks :/

Livestream is pretty bad when the viewer count goes too high (more than 2k or so), their tech support is even worse. There's no way around it except switching to different streaming provider (like Ustream).

If you want to switch to Ustream, talk to Day9 or TheGunRun, they both have awesome quality ustream streams. I'm sure at least one of them would be able to help. Or alternately have you checked out this thread?

BigT what say you about terran lifting off at the beginning of the game in steppes of war right to the gold expo? I scouted at 10 and found him around 11 or 12 but by that time he alrdy had 3 barracks come up and just marine rush me. tried to get my second gateway up asap and saved chrono to the gateways, but by the time i got 2-3 zealots he had about 10 marines. These are plat players by the way.

BTW you already answered this. This is beaver_boy. Ty much for your insight. I'll try to use cannons at the ramp

ustream would be so awesome.

currently i have to f5 like a thousand times before im on a livestream.com server where i dont have lag every 2-3 seconds, ustream never lags even with 5k+ viewers.

for example i would like to view ur iem cast but its lagging like shit for me from europe (1,5k viewers) at the same time i can watch the gosugamers iem cast at ustream with 2,5k viewers without a single prob.

long story short ustream would be awesome.

edit: also the ustream quality is higher and the delay is lower, see my example screen :

Yes well I am not opposed to using ustream completely. But i spent just under 100000000 hours getting u stream to work. And after i got it to work, the quality wasnt as good as livestream and it lagged so bad you could not even watch it so i pretty much wasted 1000000000 hours of my life... If i had someone who KNEW exactly how to set it up and would talk to me LIVE to help me, I would try again

if you want a good video capture software thats free use vscr cap, its software that comes from hemley labs, freeware, and can record in any format you so desire. Its a tad fiddly, but nothing that cant be adjusted in under 2 minutes, if you want help with it give me a shout

BigT. I always watch your stream. I have some issues with it lagging sometimes but other than that I have no complaints.

I understand why people are saying stuff like u being greedy but they dont see the big picture. It is "selfish" of you trying to live of something that you enjoy instead of having a shit job like the rest. I guess im selfish along with everyone else then

Keep up the good work, I always have your stream up even if im playing or browsing TL.

I think making a living of the stream will be difficult. I think the best thing you can do is get a part time job and stream as much as you can of that whilst making some money of the stream.

Dont know how you can do that and I dont think you can get the money from the watchers. I guess having a sponsor like a commercial on the stream?

Anyways goodluck and ignore them trolls bigT FIGHTING!

So I'm watching BigTs stream right now 1500 viewers, last weekend I was watching with 2300+ viewers. Why is this stream not featured?

BigT huge huge thanks for all the streaming you do, i know there are some criticisms going around but you put a hell of alot of effort in so we can watch some of these top players and do these marathon casts which really fucking rock.

Thanks and hope you get featured :D

Watched this stream for the first time yesterday..

Some constructive criticism -

At times it feels more like you are perhaps judging these top level players rather than casting their play. Its almost an "I was right" syndrome. Good casters and sports commentators generally try to steer clear of that kinda attitude.

I enjoy you doing your thing BIGT , but your mods are not very helpful, we the people have asked 1000000 times the LAG issues, and none of them even brought it up to you. Also man need to check chat every once and awhile and see if its lagging, ppl that aren't laggin are gonna say its FINE , but there is like 50% that are lagging, also if they turn off the CHAT right now with 3000 ppl it didn't lag as bad, Other then that, u are doing good, i emailed u to co-cast so I hope ur down for that, stream on your comp and i just skype with you would be great , could try it out :D if ur not down to co-cast that is fine just honest with me is chill also thanks for reading and other guys that are here reading this WATCH BIGT

@ezo[bf] Here's how streaming works:

1. BigT sends the stream from his computer to livestream. If BigT is lagging, then everyone will see lag. Because most people see no lag, it means BigT is successfully streaming to livestream with no lag. So that's it, BigT has done his job and there's nothing more he can do.

2. The next step is livestream sending the stream to you. Here's where the lag happens, but BigT or his mods have no control over this. They don't own livestream and it's not in their power to make a lag free connection from livestream to you.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you want to complain about lag, take it to livestream instead crying to a bunch of people who aren't responsible and can't do anything about it. Well, the latter part is not 100% true. ustream seems to be more stable, so switching to that could potentially improve things.
