Hello guys,
This is thread about my StarCraft streaming channel on Twitch, Terran TV! I stream tournaments (StarCraft: Brood War and StarCraft 2) and my own gameplay (StarCraft 2), always with Polish commentary. I know there is a lot of users from Poland who are visiting TeamLiquid
ABOUT ME
My name is Maciej 'Raven' Polak, I am 31 years old StarCraft veteran living in Warsaw, Poland. Some of you may remember me from StarCraft: Brood War or StarCraft 2 beta and early days after the release.
I played Terran for multiple teams (including foreign powerhouses MeetYourMakers, ESC, pG or Chinese top team =A.G=), went to World Cyber Games 2006 Grand Finals in Italy as a player and to WCG 2009 Grand Finals in China as a referee.
I was active player since 1999 and I filled many other roles in StarCraft community in the next decade (admin and moderator on Polish Netwars.pl, personal coach, referee, captain of Polish national team, manager and so on).
TERRAN TV
In 2009-2010 I hosted my own website Terran.PL, writing articles, guides and videos about both StarCraft games. This is when I started to broadcast the games on regular basis - I hosted around 250 live stream sessions in 18 months, casting the tournaments (90% of the sessions) and streaming my own gameplay.
In September 2010 I decided to take a break from gaming and e-sports for various reasons. This break lasted 3.5 years as I decided to come back just recently!
I re-launched Terran.PL and started streaming again...
LIVE STREAM
I offer a high-quality stream on my Twitch channel (3500 bitrate and more, 1080p).
I am trying to pick the best opportunites to stream the tournaments in StarCraft: Brood War (I recently covered iCCup Clan League Playoffs) and StarCraft 2.
I also decided to give it a try and let everyone see what do you need to do to get back into shape after such a long break! I will cast my Terran games from European ladder, giving a live analysis for each game I play. I will provide you with the hints on how to improve your gaming skills and how to plan your training schedule.
MOST IMPORTANT INFO
- I am streaming both tournaments (SC:BW + SC2) and my own gameplay (StarCraft 2, Terran), with Polish commentary. - I will usually start streaming around 9 pm CET (UTC+1 hour) for ladder games or depending on the tournament. I will add a heads-up for each session in this thread. - Link to my website: Terran.PL. - Link to the previous videos: http://terran.pl/category/terran-tv/
I hope you will enjoy my commentary in Terran TV!
Kind regards, Maciej 'Raven' Polak

Today at 9 pm CET (UTC+1) I will start playing European ladder. No warmups, no preparation, I basically played no games since 2010. I am curious what kind of performance I can expect from myself. I will play at least all 5 qualification games on ladder today and analyze them to identify the crucial obstacles in my gameplay.
Cheers, Maciej 'Raven' Polak

So after my placement match I landed in... Platinum league. Despite lacking knowledge on the maps and understanding of changes introduced by Heart of the Swarm, I am getting distracted by small events on the map and my production is not smooth yet - I will focus on the second problem today.
Stream is starting at 9 pm CET (UTC+1). I logged to BattleNet already just in case there was this horrible login queue again.
I am just adding yesterday videos here: http://terran.pl/terran-tv/od-zera-do-progamera-1-powrot-emeryta/

Glad to hear, thanks!

One more session this week. Starting in few minutes and I will finish just before WCS finals. Today I will be talking about scouting.

New week, new season and second placement match in a week! I analyzed my previous games and I hope to improve a lot of things this week. Between the games I will try to explain why it is (not) worth to follow progamers.
Wish me luck, Maciej 'Raven' Polak

Tuesday, I am starting at 9 pm CET (UTC+1) as usual. Topic of the day: multitasking and focusing.
See you there, Maciej 'Raven' Polak

That is too bad! But maybe I am displayed on the streams list as kimchiterran, that is why? I will check it on Thursday or maybe change my username if it is possible.
Cheers, Maciej 'Raven' Polak

Today at 9pm I will stream another session. I will check if my stream is displaying correctly in a sidebar...
By the way, on Sunday I will comment a clan war! More details soon.
Regards, Maciej 'Raven' Polak

Cheers, Maciej 'Raven' Polak
