Oh my, protoss-players get so much love from streamers recently...basicly all my favourite toss-players have started streaming. I'm a happy panda right now.
dude.....best fucking stream ive ever seen, quality is amazing, and its white ra.....omg....awsome (on a side note i really dig the russian soemtimes that language just sounds so cool lol)
Every Monday and saturday ok, I need to right this in my appointment book lol. WhiteRa you are my fav player from BW and SC2, you have no idea how excited I am that u started to stream Good Luck in TSL3 Im rooting for your to take the whole thing
I remember other pro gamers joking about his english before, but I'm actually surprised at how good it is. I haven't had any problems understanding. Thanks for the english White-Ra!

Exactly and the people love it even though WhiteRa's English commentary is not nearly as good as the usual Russian streams. Gotta envy the Russian speakers
And he said that the removal of the amulet was okay and fair but he would've preferred a change where HTs with Amulet get their full energy after some 10 sec after the warp in

He is too mannered for this (gaming-)world. Awsome personality, awsome player.
Although I have to say one thing, if somebody reads this, maybe you can bring it to his attention? I have the feeling it is sometimes really difficult for him to express himself properly and he tries hard to find the correct words and explain everything. While this is 100% appreciated, I - and I'm sure everyone here - would have NO problem if he talks a bit less in English if this turned out to be too stressful/exhausting. Although talking in English is cool, I would be sad to see him lose games just because he was focussing on speaking English properly instead of being 100% concentrated on the actual game!

This is definitely true, don't die too much on our account please. Buuuuttttt.. I do think it's super awesome, wish more streamers did this. White-Ra fighting!
Whitera talking english...this is gold..You have to know that i am following your sc carreer carefully and over a long time, i am a avid fan of yours whitera, the most mannered player in this universe among human and protoss . privet!

I kind of agree. If his commentating affects his game, I'd rather just see his game at the top level and then have him explain everything in between games like IdrA.

Learn to share, since he does both English and Russian And btw, he speaks English for all of the viewers that do not speak Russian, not just for Americans/Candians/UK etc.
Haha first day streaming(?) and he already has the most viewers I've ever seen on a non-tournament related stream. First to break the 10000 limit in that regards too. Great quality, he's commentating, all I can ask for. A+ stream.
Love this stream and omg 11k viewers while several tourneys getting played imagine what it could be with no tourneys at same time. Keep up awesome work white-ra commentating and play is superb
really great to have some insight into his really intelligent stye. Love his effort to comment in english even when playing really good players like qxc! thanks!
Epic moment in the XelNaga game against Imakki. Forcefielding the Stalker before he gets out from White-Ras main and he says with hes accent "THIS UNIT NO GO HOME"
This is without a doubt the finest stream I have watched. Love the commentary, love your relaxed approach and the special tactics! And in nice quality, he cares!

Aye, he really is awesome, the stream is fun, it's a bit scary how awesome he is while being so relaxed. It's also awesome to hear what's going through his mind while playing, must be insanely hard to play like that
dosent he have a normal day job? i heard that destiny was making around 3000 a month just from streaming and whitra easily gets 2-3 times his numbers so wouldent whitra be able to live quite comfortable if he where just streaming alot more instead of boring work? ^_^

3000k a month is quite the exaggeration whitera has a job writing gaming articles or something for his website/another website not so sure, and i think he lives comfortably off his tournament results/sponsorships.

Ps: FUCK YEAH WHITERA STREAM WOOOOOO /fanboyism.
I see no reason Destiny has to lie about making $3,500 a month from stream ad revenue, though if you look at how much he streams, he works almost twice the hours as your normal day job. Obviously hes playing StarCraft, but he still puts in a lot of effort and hard work.
Wowow, so much for ppl calling him bm. This guy so mannered, as mannered as you can get. White Ra is awesome. Follow him on stream! 5k viewers but only 750 followers.
WhiteRa has been my favourite player since the day I found out about the SC2 beta, which was a year ago. Since then, no player other than SeleCt has left such an impression on me. This guy is not only a great player, but also well mannered, experienced, and funny. WhiteRa fighting!
I ask for 2 base carrier game in streamchat of like 8000+ people
10 seconds later he says okay and hits ladder
after quick pvp, he plays pvt on shakuras going 2 base carrier. wont spoil it, but sweet fucking game. i think he said replays would be posted somewhere?..for this and other games? if anyone knows the link, please post it. :D

White-Ra and his vast knowledge and insight into this phenomenal game combined with special tactics and slightly broken English makes for highly entertaining games.
we know but he did special (viewer requested) tactics on his stream(for example mass carriers/ archons drops) and he made a replay pack out of the them.
tuned in last night for the first time...white-ra seams to be the coolest guy in starcraft history, just amazing. if you havent watched his "special tactics" yet, you missed out big time
This is just the greatest stream I also really like how he is friendly to his viewers, even responding friendly to people messaging him via Battle.net in between games unlike some other players....
i can't stress enough how good the stream is. Great quality, great games, great commentary from player himself (actually I find pretty useful hearing what he does and why he does it)
Best stream ever, great to get his insight on the games while also seeing him kick ass, way too nice for his own good answering question spam on battle net always trying to do stuff for the watchers, eg his 2 base carrier special tactics :D
Most people stream and answer a few questions here and there for formalities' sake. WhiteRa even answers basic questions like what to do against 1-Base Roach or 2-base Mutalisk. I mean that just shows how nice this guy is.
Plus his talks during the game give amazing insight into how he thinks and any player can develop basic hints at what do. Like for example, saying that you can plant a pylon to delay zerg's hatch if he gets only 1 set of lings but it is not good to do if he gets 2 sets. Very few players I can think of give that kind of advice when streaming.
Amazing player and person. Anybody who doesn't like him can go to hell for all I care.
So I am watching White-Ra and I just notice in my head how nice of a guy he is and how he just stays up beat about anything.. he is getting dropped 100 times vs kas. losing MAJOR units and MAJOR buildings.. and not mad at all still explaining his thoughts just for us.. I just want to say thank you white-ra u are awesome man. Brotoss for life man :D

this. white-ra seriously has to be the nicest guy ever. i don't think there is anybody in life that can actually not like him.

QFT.. The guy seems to never get mad. Awesome guy and awesome player.
Oh man White-Ra is so baller! I almost feel bad when i watch this because he always says that he's making the games for us and doing special tactics for the community, do something for yourself White-Ra Best stream out there!
First of all, this stream is fantastic, the first one I felt compelled to follow.
I've noticed though that some questions are frequently repeated (what mouse/keyboard he uses, where you can get replays and so on...), so maybe he or his mods should make a FAQ that you can read in the stream description.
Also, someone needs to tell White-Ra about sc2gears so that his replay saving routine becomes easier. I think he would like it.
I could honestly watch White-Ra's stream forever, it wouldn't bother me. Incredibly nice guy, reminds me of BoxeR, doing what he does entirely for the fans/community, loving the game, loving life.
It's no wonder he was at 6k+ viewers today, so amazing.
replays do not do his stream justice, someone needs to record and VOD them. He can make GM players look helpless with special tactiks, but also make you groan with him when he loses a prism full of HTs to turrets. He also has such camaraderie with his units, telling his zealots "good job boys" after wrecking havoc on a zerg's mineral line.
WhiteRas stream is really awesome! So grateful of what you do and really enjoy your creativity and execution of your special tactics, you're not just doing some random dumb things and hope your opponent doesn't attack, but you actually make things into viable builds.
Definitely will be tuning in regularly (and I hate streams, but you have converted me).
♥ u White-Ra, awesome stream! it is a good solution to cast one game in russian and some in english! u speak broken english? it doesn matter, we understand ure starcraft 2 talk :D
Best stream ever. Not only do you get to watch one of the world best protoss but you will get "special tactics" and an education in how to play. Basically its like getting free lessons from the great white-ra!
Best stream atm. Can't see anybody do it better tbh. Sure it's fun watch other play and hear what kind of music they listen to. But getting White-Ras thought process and explaining some stuff. Thats something else. GG
Most entertaining and helpful stream on teamliquid tbh.. Whitera talks nonstop about what he's doing and why.. Its really interesting! Can only recommend people checking it out!
White-Ra have health-bars off because of a habit from Brood War days, and he didn't walls-off against zerg(early but later) intentionally to lure zergling rushes, which he can easily defend with good probe micro and chrono-boosted zealot(he saves 3rd chrono).

Very smart, White-ra. You gotta understand #1: talking all the time is going to affect your play. That's just the way the brain works. #2: Other people know you're streaming and are either preparing for what you do, or even listening in. Even though the play may suffer in the sort term, in the long term it helps with your multitasking.
I learned this playing with a friend who chatted, literally, the whole game. About Starcraft, real life stuff, religion... whatever. He was phenomenal, and even though it made my play worse in that game- my overall game got better as I learned to think about more as I played.
tl:dr... Don't stop streaming for us! Even if it effects your gameplay a little while streaming!! <3
today White-Ra asked what strat he should use on ladder, and the audience suggested to go carriers. Yes, White-Ra is actually using carriers in a ladder game. That alone should give you enough information about he amazing his stream is.
This stream is the greatest. Everything is amazing, the commentary, the interaction, the play, the dedication, the list goes on! WhiteRa is so loveable!
I used to watch huks stream, but whitera is 100% more fun to watch and listen too. I also learn a ton from what he points out. I find myself watching whitera instead of catching up with GSL or even playing at the moment. What a total baller he is.

Yeah me too lol, and I only had time for a few games... no SC2 for me, just the stream:D I'm trying to leave to play some games, but just cant..
I am very glad that you like my games. I promise to continue to please you with the translations in the future. I need to define the best time to begin with stream. Variants such has begun in 6pm 7pm 8pm or 9pm CET.

Thank you so much for streaming! For me your stream is currently best among all. IMO 6pm CET is best time to start.
Don't stop casting White Ra, you're easily my favorite (and I'm sure quite a few others) stream to watch. Thanks for being a great player and showing your fans your own games, and for taking our requests.
You know why this is the best stream to watch - Because there is a shit ton of scope for learning. Honestly, a lot of people are streaming but watching their games blindly (as in with no personal comments) will be entertaining but is not going to be helpful until you yourself are of a high level.
I am Silver and I learn so much simple stuff from WhiteRa's stream. Sure, most of you guys already know it but when you are trying to come to grip with the game, a stream like this is exactly what you need. He tells you exactly what is going on in his mind which is the same thing that should be going on in your mind when you are in the same scenario he is in. That is just amazing in my opinion.
Also, most people say they interact with fans but don't do it enough, if at all. WhiteRa's rapport with the chat is amazing. His patience in answering every question even repeatedly should be admired. And when somebody requests some tactics, he actually does that. And he simply doesn't do it but actually has a thought process behind it. If it fails (like the Collossus drop against Zerg), he explains why it failed and how you can make it succeed.
This is definitely the best stream on TL no doubt - It is highly entertaining with special taktiks. It is funny. And most of all it is helpful from Bronze up to Grandmaster.
It's great how he tries to please the viewers by actually going for different strategies and being true to special tactics. Carriers everywhere, storm drops, DTs, just about everything EXCEPT for 4gates.
Big ups to White ra for being such a great guy in dealing with the community and not forgetting about us. cheers!

+1. Also 4 stargate carriers is pretty good vs a mass roach zerg (who scouted the carriers). Super nice guy, great stream and nice commentary. Keep it up White-ra!

He does it to tempt his opponent into making an early pool, which he can hold with good Probe micro and using his third chrono boost on a Zealot (which he doesn't normally spend until he can confirm his opponent's build).

easier to defend 6pool/7pool without walling, and it is slightly more economical (lose less mining time)
White-Ra, how do you use warp prisms so effectively? Mine always seem to get sniped or are unable to do enough damage. Mostly Planetary Fortresses negate my harassments T_T
You're amazing! Thanks for all the streaming :D
Special Taktiks fightingg (You should try a colossus drop :D)
You seemed to be dying in that last match, do you feel safe throwing up that DT shrine in the early game? You looked pretty vulnerable to that early MM pressure. (Yet somehow you mentioned to scare him off)
Best stream on TL. Excellent quality, fantastic player, creative and crazy strategys that he pulls off against some of the best players out there - WhiteRa just has it all To top it all off he is chatty and such a manner guy

White-ra i love your stream very much!! i have been watching you for a long time and i guess i will never understand how you can be so calm and under the same time teach us a lot of stuff. Only a pro can do that
I hope you win a lot of tournaments this year! gl hf...
What do you usually do if a zerg focusses on ling/bling with drops? It usually happens to me that he kills me with speedlings that kill my probes or prevent me from getting my 3rd base.....
I've had some questions from watching your stream.
First one is I've seen you not wall-in versus zerg and in other matchups also. But most importantly, why do you not wall-in versus zerg?
Second question is, what do you think with opening on 1 gate proxy on 2/3 player maps to "control" the game? I mean so you know they won't be able to cheese you, what is your opinions on this? Do you do it yourself any?
Also you think it works on 4 player maps if early scout?

Thank you for awesome stream, Mr Special Taktiks!
He said he doesnt wall in because he wants to lure early zergling aggression, he is confident that he can take them down with good probe micro. Also he walls in later in the game.

White was his first clan, long time ago. And his nickname was Ra, because of Egypt myphology loving. Later clan was cancelled, by Aleksey like the spelling of White.Ra. So he extended this to his original nickname.
Best stream out there no question. Top top top level play, constant commentary, a small touch of comedic relief. Not much more you can ask for. Thanks a lot WhiteRa!
This is the best stream ever, i wish we can have a good stream like this one for terran! White-ra is such a great player and he talks all his insigthful thought while playing, it helps so much, i wish that i played protoss
his stream seems like amazing fan service. casts half the games in english, half in russian. commentates while playing, answers in detail several questions from chat between games (both english and russian), and changes graphics to high quality because he knows the SC2 viewerbase appreciates the good graphics.
this is the best player stream i've seen, and i'm for sure going to be rooting for him in future tournaments.
Hello white-ra. I've been watching your stream the last few hours.. And i just wanted to say you are doing a great job. I enjoyed myself alot. Keep it up, Your among my top3 personalities within sc2
Hey there White Ra :> I took some time and created something for your stream today to show you how much I/WE enjoy you streaming :D It is a small piece of video that you can use (With Xsplit & other programms) when you go and speak to the phone or leave the pc for a couple of minutes. You can add the clip to a different scene and then through the user settings attach a certain hotkey to that scene. Then every time you push that hotkey the video (8 seconds long) will appear ! It has a photo of you , your nickname ,your sponsor and your <<Famous phrase>> ! Hope you like it !!!! and if you do please sent me a pm !

I speak Russian, and his commentary in Russian is much funnier and more insightful then in English. Don't stop casting in Russian!! Best of luck in your games! -Lawrence Vern
just wanted to say thanks for the good stream and the really amazing games. Your commentary on the games is pretty good and gives a nice understanding of the tactics you use, so it's actually very helpful to new players.
Know that the SC2 community loves you, you're a good player and a cool guy.

Seeing how much people ask same questions again and again in chat I thought it would be a good idea to make some small FAQ that could be linked on his stream page or something? At least it would give mods good reason to time-out people who ask the same freaking thing for billion times.
I could start with questions like
What mouse/keyboard white-ra uses?
Tt esports black mouse, Tt Meka (amirite?)
Why don't you wall of against zerg?
He can defend any rush without a wall off and it's slightly more economical.
What do you think about 1.3.3 patch notes?
Good.
Discuss and feel free to add other questions you are tired to see in the chat :D

Ah, the infamous special tactics, there is something charming about watching your games, the builds are not exactly cookie cutter and split second perfect, but they just work
Champion player, great music taste, and awesome accent! Very entertaining stream, especially when you talk to the viewers.
It seems he hasn't been streaming for that long, does anyone know if he has somewhat 'regular hours' for streaming? Even if they aren't too regular, just some ballpark time he likes to stream at? Had a hard time figuring out when he streams, not made any easier by timezone difference! When he finished streaming last time I checked it was aparently 4:30am in Ukraine so I'm guessing he either isn't in Ukraine atm or the time converter was dodgy.
Any information on when he usually streams would be great, definitely my favourite player!

No he was in Ukraine streaming till that late;) From what I know there aren't regular hours atm, but he said he will usually stream during evenings, starting around 8pm CET, not sure about which days, so I'm assuming that roughly, streams will probably start between 1pm - 4pm Central US. There is an 8 hour difference between Central US time and Odessa, Ukraine, so its 9pm - 12pm there..
Edit - just realized you are not under US timezone:l... u can use 8pm Central European Time to get approximate times (though often he started streams a bit later into the evening)
Although not a fan of his music selection this is one of my favorite streams to tune into, amazing quality for audio/video and who cant love the constant Russian being spoken even though they have no idea what it means (I actually DL the Russian EU client just to have that while I play protoss cuz of white ra). Thanks for streaming man you are awsome!

You'll be the first one to say that (People can have different tastes in music, so not saying you're wrong.) But I was just about to say that WhiteRa has the best music of any pro who streams. Most gamers just put some sort of thrash metal or some crazy sounding music IMO. But WhiteRa's taste in music is extremely good. When he is not talking that is. If he is talking, I can go to sleep listening to that voice and accent alone.
rly awesome stream... there is only one little thing i dont like I prefer streams without music so i can turn on my own music without missing the ingame sound...
so pls whitera - back to the roots and turn off the music.. who cares what idra says

The stream has been shut down now so It can't be broadcasted any more or viewed by unsuspecting people. Why would someone do this to White-Ra is beyond me.
UPDATE: WhiteRa's stream is officially closed atm due to ToS violations as a result of the hack. Rumor has it most of his personal stuff has also been hacked.
Apparently one of the mods in chat contacted him (via phone), and it's not just his jtv account. His email and skype were hacked as well. Hopefully no permanent financial damage

Man white ra is so nice. Adds everyone who spams him asking to obs to the game. There must have been like 20~ people in that game ahaha. I thought he was clicking "Block communication" to all their requests
then white-ra goes to blink into the back of opponents natural, opponent has an army of stalker/immortal sitting there and IMMEDIATELY surrounds the blink up.
guy is probably just super lucky tho
edit: white-ra is mentioning how ridiculous it was now, lol
Man....ive played 3000 games and i still cant even come close to these guys....there must be some hotkeys i dont know about or something. even tho he lost amazing gameplay. gj Ra.
People probably stream watch (unless there's a delay) sad a little ill brained people ruin such a awsome stream.
Btw did anyone catch the zealot only battle game just now? Proxy 3rd and 4th gate right in the opponents face while going zealot only with God-like micro... White-Ra just isn't human :D
yeah that micro on the ramp was insane. pulling pack hurt zealots und putting the healthy ones in front. and all that in such small place and fast as hell

Cant even imagine how hard it would be to play this challenging game, while having to commentate. It's just another layer of multitasking - Make probes - make pylon - ... - remember to keep to viewers entertained.
When you then factor in, that he is doing it, in a language which doesnt come natural to him, its even more impressive.
double stargate inspired me to do special taktiks of my own. Today I went double stargate into 4 base skytoss. I feel so white-raboss :D Also his english is getting better day by day <3 ra
You should read his fanclub thread, he posted there and should stream today

Oh shit that game he just played was sick. MASS MASS Protoss Air vs Mass air of Zerg....damn! Motherships, Mass Void Ray vs Mass Corrupter and Phoenix vs Muta micro....damn that was awesome!
sentry/zealot to fast high templars and then warp prisms. he dropped zealots on the siege tanks and stormed the bio. when he got an immortal he went and attacked by dropping the immortal on siege tanks in the terran base.
google, chaikovski mediafire rar, and itll come up with the music hes playing right now as a heads up!
Loved his play jsut a few mins ago against that terran, usually protoss just sit on thier ramp and play like boring old men, but grandpa toss plays like a fucking boss

i think you mistake me for someone else. I think in the matches idra lost recently I was actually rooting for idra, though I was still happy when MC won too.
Idra vs MMA I was rooting for Idra and wasn't happy when MMA won.
wow white-ra fan club getting derailed hard huh lol

The same for most people. I can watch 480p though.
YESS!! Papa toss is back with a promise for a long stream and also his famous commentary. You're the best white-ra, show us some great special tactics and the secret to your bbq
Gotta say this is probably the best user stream I've seen. His skills and "special tactics" are highly entertaining, along with his awesome attitude and good manner. Keep up the great work WhiteRa!

Yea same. Anyone know where he gets his music from?
+1 Some parts of the set are almost as nice as White-ra's commentary.
As mentioned above he gets his music from Dj Amoureux and he is usually in the stream chat so there you can just ask him. He also shares the names of the songs and such.
White ra is just so vicious. The dt's, the blink stalkers, the warp prism use. He hit's his opponent in so many ways, so relentlessly. Watching him beat up a zerg is like watching a samurai hack apart a zombie one limb at a time.
Come on White Ra, all the zerg wants to do is eat your brains, is that so bad? why you gotta cut em up so viciously?

That, plus you get to see some unorthodox play on a high level. He is also really a pillar in the community, and have been for like 10 years

Yeah, this is one of the main reasons. I know people say Gold level players cannot learn a lot from watching the Pros stream. But WhiteRa's strategies are really easy to latch on to and the way he explains them makes them seem so clear.
I personally have learnt a lot from his stream. I would be in game and suddenly a bulb will pop in my head that WhiteRa will do this right now, so I better do it.
IMO, anybody can learn a lot of stuff by just watching him stream and commentate. Some stuff like gas timings, how to spot a rush or that sort, he just explains them so clearly, that even at my level I find it really helpful.

he is one of the few people who can play and talk on the same time, i mean its really hard to focus on the game and meanwhile comment what you gonna do,+he have special tactics and make like 10 wins in a row like a boss.

Honestly, I believe he can do that because he is so incredibly RELAXED when playing. I mean, even when he gets double dropped + frontal attacked, he just explains how he will be dealing with this and that.....so unbelievably calm. This is definitely what makes him so successful in tournaments, it seems he was born without nerves.

Yeah it is amazing how easy he makes this game look. Truly a god amongst men If anyone talks to me while playing I loose. Especially if I have to answer too, lol
Just made an account specifically for this thread. TY whitera! I'm considering switching to toss just cause he makes it look so fun. Also, around what time does he usually stream? I can seem to find the info anywhere...
Does anyone know where to find White-ra's music playlist at? I could have sworn there was a link in this thread but I just went through all 35 pages and couldn't find it. I thought he had it on Spotify.

There is IRC channel: connect to duckloadwhitera.jtvirc.com #duckloadwhitera with your Justin.tv (Twitch.tv) nickname and password. But channel is active only when stream is online, in other times there is no people.

I think there is no replays or screenshots of that, because he never typed that to anyone. He said it several times verbally to his viewers, after opponent's rage quit. As of VODs where he says this, I believe you can find them on his twitch.tv page: http://twitch.tv/duckloadwhitera/videos , though I can't tell you in what VODs specifically, it should be in early VODs.
Could someone unban me from the chat? I've been banned for like 2 months and dont really know why i got it in the first place, my name on twitch/jtv is thirnaz.
I used to listen to Whitera megamixes from http://amoureux.in/, but it seems to be down few days already, does anyone know what happened? Is there alternate link plz? Whitera music <3
Very educational, I direct my friends who want to learn Protoss here. The combination of interesting play and strategic commentary really makes this the best place to learn Protoss.

Yes, DJ Amoureux site (http://amoureux.in) has been down for a while, so I've been looking elsewhere for his music. Thank you so much!
Actually, this site is kind of broken. The music will play for a bit and then infinitely buffer, and this keeps happening. I recommend going to http://lsdb.eu/list/artist/27563/DJ_Amoureux.html which was mentioned earlier in the thread.
turned on my laptop to watch whitera pwn(edit: go carriers against) some zerg nube while i eat lunch. heard this funky song playing right away, all i could think of for a full minute was "fuck yea whitera"
Wow, most ridiculous game on Metal vs crazy all-in zerg (taking opponent's gold, spreading creep and pushing in with spine crawlers + lots of lings). White-Ra responds with a stargate and the opponent goes spore crawlers and takes out the main. White-Ra is down to a single void ray + 2 cannons vs 2-base zerg with 4+ queens and 4 spores/spines. The rest of the game is even more insane... this should get casted!
Your stream is my favorite of all the Protoss streams in here. Because you are explaining your thought process while playing, your stream is probably the best stream for Protoss players who want to learn to play the game.
This guy just blows my mind. He is not just a popular and nice protoss player, he has become an ICON in the gaming world if you ask me. Hes been streaming since i woke up, still streaming when i ate dinner and still streaming in the evening. So helpful and nice person. We all love you !
Song name starting at like 2 mins anyone? That awesome old school disco music remix thing :D Final countdown > disco > move it move it > move your body
the music of your stream is soo terrible. i guess, if you would play no or normal music, you would have at least 2 or 3 3k more viewers on your stream. did you ever think about switching the kind of music you play, or to hear the music on a special channel or something like that, so that your viewers just heas the ganesound and your voice?

Frankly you are being a bit arrogant. Just because you don't like it does not mean others feel the same way (this is especially true regarding music). Plenty of people also posted here asking for playlists and song names, so not everyone hates it. Just mute it if you don't like it, although I agree having an option to shut of music but not game sound would be nice

well, I know at least 5 people, who don´t watch the stream because of the music. I don´t think im the only one ^^. and I wanted to give White-Ra an advice, how to get more people on his stream.

He got a special kind of music, many people don´t like that. It doesn´t care how much viewers he got atm, it cares how he can increase this count with not playing that special kind of music. (or let the viewers decide for themselv if they wanna hear it.) Sometimes I have no problem with his music, but mostly I have to mute the sound. And then i can´t hear the gamesound or the commentating of White-Ra. And most of the people i know don´t like the music aswell.

Hi Dex. I'm DJ Amoureux who created mostly all mixes which White-Ra playing in his streams. I want to ask you a question about your definition of "normal music". Could you give an example of "normal music"? Specific style or better point a specific artists and/or tracks that according your opinion should help White-Ra attract more people to his streams.
Then we would make a little experiment using your music preferences while White-Ra streaming and will check count of vievwers and feedbacks about music. It should be very interesting experience about such comparison. Just let me know

Don't tell him how many viewers he would get if he was to change the music when you yourself has never streamed/got close to the amount of viewers white ra gets daily.
I don't think SCDex is saying that he wants different music - i think what he's asking for is for the music to not be sent over stream - just game sound - and then viewers can either hunt down the music White-Ra is listening to, or they can put their own on.
Lots of people prefer streamers to play music over playing own stuff (I'm often not one of them, but at times this lets you find new songs). By the way, when white-ra's stream had no music, people were asking for him to put something on. It would be nice if there was separate volume controls for music and voice/in-game sounds; but im not sure if software is able to do that yet, and you prolly would also need 2 sound cards

The music choice is actually a big factor, why White-Ra's stream is one of my favorites.
Hi WhiteRa, excellent games and music,,, do me a favor and unban me (tcpip4000 on twicth.tv) dont know why your moderators behave like this with someone that just love to watch and see your game style.
Whiteras voidray play right now is absolutely incredible. I didn't ever think protoss could do multi pronged air harass so effectively, i'm surprised this isn't far more popular.
The music is just fucking amazing. I am writing my BA thesis right now and it helps me by distracting me a bit, so I have the stream in a minimized window just for the awesome music. :D
P.S. - For those who don´t know, this is originally a Polish song, but in Brazil it is recorded by someone that can be compared to Justin Bieber. P.S. 2 - I was lying about not watching his stream anymore.

How do you like your mouse? I have one of tt esports mice and its nice, but it bugs the shit out of me that I can not set side buttons to mouse4 or mouse5 like I could with Logitech (use one of them for vent).
Oh my goodness that latest game was AMAZING. White-Ra vs UkraineStar (may have actually been White though, at the start of the game he said <--- White so it's hard to say, either way a top Ukrainian Zerg though), went like 45 minutes back and forth.
HotS looks awesome when White-Ra plays it!!!! looks to me like the action is quite a bit more spread out... though that could just be the way that he plays- but regardless- thank you for streaming!
I've been working on an "infinite starcraft playlist" with music to listen to while playing, mostly "inspired" by what WhiteRa and HuK listens to during streaming. You'll find it on Spotify (EU) by the name "WhiteRa" if you are interested ^
Other than that I know WhiteRa plays a lot of mixes that can be downloaded free from http://www.subvibes.ru/mixes
